There is a certain conundrum to golf collectibles. They belong to the oldest of those sports popular today. The first organized championship began with the first British Open in 1860 - before the National or American baseball leagues were founded, before the NFL, NBA, or NHL were even considered. Golf is older than soccer, tennis, and the modern Olympics. Yet golf collecting is still a relatively quiet pastime. It's not overcrowded (yet), and the items are not overpriced.
