Golfball-guide.de is
a unique site all about golfballs. Our focus groups are golfers,
collectors and people with a general or specific interest
in golf balls.
The background of
this site is a large golf ball collection that comprises
only unequal brands or brand
types of balls. Logos or other differenciators are not
focus of the underlying collection.
The idea of collecting
golf
balls and of making it public goes back to the 1970'ies,
where the first balls were found and the 1980'ies where
the first
article was written in a German Golf Manazine.
Today, far
over 1.000 different golf ball types and brands
are part of the collection and can be viewed online.
Anyone who likes to contribute
to complete the collection by finding a ball
that is not yet listed, is invited to send the ball
to the contract address.
He or she will - if wished - be mentioned specifically
as the donator. |

Information about the historical
way of manufactoring golf balls are shown - covering gutta
percha balls, feathery balls,
the development of dimples and other
classical methods of ball production.
Finally, we describe aerodynamics of ball
construction,
give background on number and form of dimples, weight
and stability of balls. Contributions to
this web site or ball donations to the museum are very
welcome. |
