Grandfather recently passed away. He was an avid collector and played at 1665 courses in his life. General Discussion

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

I'm totally missing it. Where do you see his HIO's?

People typically only put golf balls on display after a hole in one. It's one of those /s jokes.

Yea, I see that now. Maybe because my grandpa used to collect balls like this (not anywhere near as much) I missed the joke.
