Revisit the time when golf was a gentleman's game, caddies mapped the
way, and time-honored traditions spoke volumes more than a man's raw
score. See how the golf ball changed over the
years from 1500-1900 beginning with a wooden ball, to leather stuffed
with cow hair, or goose feathers, to a crude tree sap ball and finally
the first ball with a center core. Not only does this display furnish a
history lesson on the golf ball but, also keeps track of the passing of
the present time all in one handsome piece for the gentleman golfer's
office or golf themed room.
This history of golf
balls clock is a mix of the old and the new in one beautifully styled
display. Frosted glass frame with 12 recesses hold the golf ball
replicas of the transitions that the golf ball has gone thru from 1500
up to 1900. The center holds a practical clock with a background picture
of St. Andrew's famous Swilken Bridge. Old style history and modern
design and detail come together to make one great gift for the golfer's
home or office.
