GOLF TREASURES:
YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED

I have a golf ball imprinted with the Ryder Cup logo from 1971 the ball is a number 1 in red. A friend of mine called the Ryder Cup office in Florida a few years ago and they thought it might have been used in play and might be interested in it. Does it have any value?

With interest in the Ryder Cup at an all time high on both sides of the Atlantic, memorabilia associated with the event has sky-rocketed in price in recent years. However, it is doubtful that your logo golf ball would have been used by any of the players in the actual match at Old Warson. It is much more likely that it was sold as memorabilia in much the same way Ryder Cup logo balls are sold today. With that in mind, I would still suggest a value of around $50.
