My Humble Beginning

When I decided to take my Golf Club Button Collection and put it on the web, I never figured the interests of the Golf Clubs, especially the older clubs, to have such a tremendious response.

Shortly after activating the webpages, I was contacted by fellow collectors, that while researching the older clubs, they were finding information on old scorecards.

I remembered that back in 1996, I had created a coded golf club database of all US golf clubs, including the defunct and courses that had changed their name. I believed it would help with time lines of the older courses that much iinformation has been lost through the years.

I started to create pages for my other collections and realized they could help other collectors in identifing the collectible. While scanning my postcard collection, I noticed they had many old courses that no longer exist.

In 1996 my intentions were to display the defunct clubs on the web, so they would not be forgotten. The coding of the clubs would help to connect the clubs. This was a short lived concept due to the lack of interest from the major golf establishments and the expense of website storage.

I decided to put my other golf club related collectibles to the site. My golf club coded database will help to link the US clubs to all their collectibles, such as: Golf Bag Tags, Golf Ball Markers, Golf Club Postcards, Golf Club Scorecards, Golf Club Jackets and Golf Club Patches. Every club page will have a list and link to their other possible collectibles.

This is a work in process and some of the images were sent to me back in the mid 1990's when scanning wasn't that good. I'll update any images I receive that will improve the image presented. Please send the image of the actual size and let me reduce its size. Both front and back images are preferred.

I'm looking to add a overseas database of a similar concept to the USA codes.
