Tips On Collecting Vintage Discount Golf Clubs

Vintage golf items are relatively easy to find, and pursuing this hobby can be a way to learn more about the history of the wonderful game of golf, and how equipment has evolved and improved down the years.

As with any other form of collecting, there are pitfalls, however. You need to make sure items you are buying are authentic vintage discount golf clubs, not fakes or replicas. For instance, new clubs can be distressed to look antique. If you are buying items with signatures from great players, you need to make sure the signature is authenticated. These types of collectibles, if authenticated, can enjoy great price appreciation over the years.

You can of course search for vintage golf discount golf clubs online. The mega-store eBay has an extensive "Vintage" golf equipment section on their site, often with more than 1000 items. Golf collectibles are not necessarily just clubs from the late 19th or early 20th Century. The original "Ping" putters from the 1960's are highly sought after collectibles. Items bearing the signatures of greats such as Ben Hogan or Byron Nelson also fetch hefty premiums. Prices for vintage equipment can start very reasonably, $20-$50, and be as high as several thousand dollars for certain rare items.

Before beginning your acquisition of vintage golf equipment, you should do some research. An excellent guidebook is: Antique Golf Collectibles: A Price and Reference Guide (Paperback) by highly respected golf collector and publisher, Chuck Furjanic. This book includes comprehensive information on literally thousands of collectibles: antique clubs and balls, autographs, signature golf balls, artwork, medals and trophies, as well as trading cards and other collectibles. With more than 500 photographs, this book is fascinating to read as well as an important price guide for would-be collectors.

A few other tips:
1) Putters are among the most popular collectibles.

2) When you begin collecting, stick with equipment items, clubs, balls, vintage golf bags, etc. rather than golf artwork, which requires more study in order to make informed decisions.

where can i find authentic vintage fender and gibson guitars in Malaysia?

I'm looking for these guitars to collect however it seems there aren't many in Malaysia and most are either reissues or new ones. Do help me out. Thank you

This is quite a number of specialised shops selling music instruments in Malaysia. there is one shop in LG of Sunway Pyramid, one shop in Harvey Norman (next to the Pet Safari), and one another that i remember in Level 1 of Subang Parade. Surprise to hear you can't find what you want. For the vintage if they don't sell it at their premise, they can always source it for you. All you need to do is ask them to seek or order one for you. Of course you need to pay a little search fee for the service.
