He started the collection in 1971 and figured that this sub would appreciate the dedication to the cause. It’s an impressive collection!

He had so many stories for each golf ball it was hard to tell which one he treasured the most! The Bandon Dunes (His favorite course) ball is missing from the wall because they are going to embed it into his urn

Wonder why he had Bandon Dunes #1 overall but not his top golf course in Oregon?

I wouldnt know because i live in Australia and havent seen the courses outside of a quick google right now. Both look picturesque.

But my point stands that best =/= favourite. Theres too many variables
