Thank you this helps a lot.

Those look like ping golf balls.

Hello there. I found these a few weeks ago and thought I might share them since some I need help identifying and others I just thought were incredibly cool. The first one (the orange one) I need help identifying, it is has no other markings other than what looks like two T's, one white and one orange. The second two (the yellow ones) I just thought were really cool considering my favourite animal is a (polar) bear, if anyone could advise me where to buy more of those that would be great since these two are by far my favourites out of everything I ever found. The last one is the most interesting out of everything I found (the white one). It has a car of some kind of on it, with 'Team Saab' written underneath. This ball is a Dunlop DDH Marathon 1 ball, with a random 1 on another side of the ball. I tried looking for this and what I found is that Saab is either golf or car related? Not sure. I found no eBay results for this either but I might have been looking too specifically. Either way I thought this was really interesting and I hope maybe to hear some other opions on these and what you all think. I attached pictures of all of these below.

Sorry I only just saw this. Thank you. That gives me a figure to work with.

As is perhaps kind of obvious given the fact that I only pop up here a few times every so often, I only come when I find something interesting while out in the bushes or when I have a question. I have several questions today. My first one is a general statement more than a question, but to the person I will most likely never meet, and who will for sure never see this, I would like to say thank you for making my day on Thursday with a shot that you probably took many years ago, and which I assume was an accident. Being completely obsessed with bears and having found a yellow ball with a little bear on it, well that was just amazing, so thank you person I will never meet. Now for the actual questions. I would like to start my own small business sometime soon, and the only way I can currently see of making any money towards that is selling found golf balls, one, how should I distinguish which ones are worth more than others, and two, what price would be deemed reasonable for however many balls? And just a last quick question, what kind of animal would hoard golf balls in the ground? I went out Thursday to an area I have been to many times before, and must have found about twenty or so balls all roughly in a five to ten foot radius, all buried in a quite large mound of dirt. I went back yesterday to this same place, and in that one five to ten foot radius at diffrent levels in the soil, I pulled out one hundred and fourteen balls, all equally filthy, and some covered in clay (Clay is a pain to get off balls, cannot recommend). I only got half way through digging when my alarm to go home went off which was annoying. I suspect that through the rest of the area would be the same, and I intend to go back very soon to test that theory. So to summarise, what kind of animal hoards balls completely unharmed in a very close radius, in incredibly large numbers, and if not an animal, how is this possible? I found at least one ball dated 2002 by a captain, and the course shut five years ago in March, so these balls have been sitting for a very long time completely covered in dirt and not at all obvious from an outside perspective. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated, since as much as I love to have found this, it seems qeird they were in such an insane amount.

I see, thank you all.

So in other words this ball is likely just used for show and probably not something they would actually use in the competition?

So last Thursday I went out on the old golf course near where I live and went back through some of the places I searched many a time before, and unlike the four hundred or so balls I found over the last few years this one seems like something special. I showed it to a seasoned golfer and he said if he had one he would never use it, and that it was something to do with a competition that occurs in different places every year in the UK. For reference, this is pretty much what it has on it, and I found a link for the competition website, but none of what I see is what I found. The ball itself is a Titleist 3, NXT TOUR ball. If anyone could tell me a bit more about this, or even a rough value if it has one that would be very much appreciated. England Golf Captains - England Golf

Okay, so, new member here. I was out at a golf course today, when my friend found a black golf ball, red text, 'W' insignia, number 8, brand 'Wheelhouse'... At least I think. Google has nothing obvious, Amazon has nothing, eBay also nothing. Were I able to send a picture I would, but sadly I showed an uncle and he took it thinking I was giving him it. Need to get that back. In the meantime, has anyone heard of this brand?
