    Going through my "golf stuff" box, I found some pitchfork tools and a few other knickknacks. I'm curious about what kind of golf memorabilia you like to keep around the house.

    Pitchmark Tools-all US Open

    1972 Pebble Beach 1982 Pebble Beach 1998 The Olympic Club 2010 Pebble Beach 2011 Congressional 2012 The Olympic Club 2013 Merion

    The badge is my Marshalls Badge for the 1998 US Open at Olympic. Ticket is for the 2012 US Open at the Olympic Club.

    None of my children are golfers, so I'm not sure to who I should pass on this stuff. But, for now, its pleasant to have.

    Ball markers are the thing for me; they're easy to store and don't take up much space. Plus, over the years, clubs have taken the time to offer unique shapes other than the traditional "coin" style marker.

    I usually pick up a flag and a ball marker when I get the chance to go to a famous PGA course.

    What a wonderful collection of pitch mark tools, John. I have no children, but I will keep my golf memorabilia (mostly ball markers and caps) as long as I live. I have instructed my wife that if I die before her, she either tosses everything inside the coffin along with my golf clubs and bags :) or she may as well give them to my niece or my nephew. Sadly, neither my niece nor my nephew play golf :(

    I try to grab a ball marker from the prestigious golf courses as well. Nice collection!

    For me I do pick up ball marker / divot tool combo. However working so many Opens over the years since 2006 I have my huge collection of Volunteer shirts I buy while on site during the week. Much cheaper that way then buying merchandise in the big tent. Also all my badges and pins as memories and lanyards.

    Ice Bucket from the 1984 at Winged Foot when Fuzzy beat the Shark in a Monday playoff. Had a towel and a hat also, but they're long worn out. Still have the Titleist DT 90, 6-pack box of logoed balls from '93 at Baltusrol with a picture of the clubhouse inside the cover and the divot repair tool with ball marker.

    Spent alot of time at Baltisrol and Wingfoot in the 60's-70's. Great tests of golf.

    Ahh, the good old days !!

    I'm more into golf balls from events and courses that I've been lucky to attend. I have "a few" ball displays in my office. I am getting close to having to figure out where to put the next one. My only complaint about balls is that depending on a quality of the ball, some will yellow over time.

    I also have a few majors that I've been to and have framed a flag with my daily tickets.

    Underneath the bed is a whole bunch of stuff from the random golf trips that I've taken....might be two boxes worth.
