Introducing The Ball Bloke Heritage Collection

Every now and then, something comes along that simply can’t be repeated.

Over the past few weeks we’ve carefully cleaned, inspected and individually hand graded one of the most remarkable acquisitions we’ve ever secured.

Not just premium golf balls…

Golf balls that changed the game.

Introducing our very first Ball Bloke Heritage Collection featuring:

🏌️ Titleist Pro V1 332
The original generation that revolutionised golf ball technology.

🏌️ Titleist Pro V1 392
The next evolution of arguably the world’s most influential golf ball.

🏌️ Callaway HX Tour
Callaway’s first genuine Tour ball and a favourite of many accomplished golfers in the early 2000s.

🏌️ Callaway HX Tour 56
One of the great premium tour golf balls of its era.

These aren’t simply recycled 2nd hand golf balls.

They’re part of golf’s history.

Every ball has been individually inspected and graded to The Ball Bloke’s strict Quality standards.

We’ve deliberately chosen not to mix them into our standard premium stock.

Instead, they will become the very first release in our new Heritage Collection.

Only approximately 50 Mint and 50 Near Mint examples of each model are available.

When they’re gone…

They’re gone

Pricing is as follows-

Mint Single - $8
Near Mint Single - $7

Mint 6 pack - $42
Near Mint 6 pack - $36

As part of our long-term Ball Bloke Heritage Project, a number of these iconic golf balls will also be permanently preserved within our Heritage Collection for future generations to enjoy.

If you remember playing these back in the day—or you’ve always wanted to experience them—this is a rare opportunity.

We’re offering these to our loyal followers in the first instance and for this weekend only before we create some new product items on the website and priced slightly higher than our offer above so think of this initial heritage offering is our way of saying thanks for your support when we started the Ball Bloke Journey when we launched in February 🫶

🏌️ Available now.

📦 Australia-wide postage.

Today we pause to honour the life of Peter Stickley.

Peter dedicated many years to collecting, restoring and preserving golf's rich hickory heritage. His knowledge, craftsmanship and passion earned him the respect of many throughout the golfing community not just in Australia but globally!

Our thoughts are with Irene, Tim, Andrew, Melinda, their extended family and everyone whose lives Peter touched.

May his legacy continue to inspire future generations to appreciate and preserve the wonderful history of our game.

Rest peacefully, Peter.

Exciting news - our new library offering to our customers will be ready next week!

As a Golf Tragic I picked up this really cool piece on the Sunny Coast this arvo to add to the decor of our warehouse

A recent visit to Brisbane allowed me the opportunity to catch up with an old friend who has been an inspiration to so many who know his story! Sadly Rod can’t play golf again because his legs have stopped working and he was kind enough to give me a lot of his and his father - Jock’s clubs as well as a lot of nostalgic pieces including two vintage putters made by highly regarded club makers in Scotland in Ben Sayers and Frank Johnston.
Jock aka John Mackay was a staunch tough as nails Scotsman, a former captain of Indooroopilly Golf ⛳️ Club and under the very old handicap system- a former +2 marker- playing in the era of Peter Davies, Drew Tovey, Budge Gill and the infamous Keith Drage who back when I was about 12-14 years, I caddied for occasionally at the old Indooroopilly (now St Lucia)- circa 1976-78.
Jock was instrumental in the Long Pocket and the old dump site (now Green and Blue nines at Indooroopilly Golf Club doing a deal with the then Lord Mayor- Clem Jones to facilitate the project. He was a great man ! However his son, Rod, who was a very promising junior golfer who sadly had a car accident at around the age of 19 which caused extensive injuries to his body. Most would turn their backs on the game and so many give up on life but not Rod ! 💪 He returned to golf and played up until he was 73 years old- his story is one of the gutsiest efforts I’ve ever witnessed and I only have nothing but respect and appreciation admiring his love of the game and his determination to not give up! Congratulations on your achievements Rod and enjoy your retirement with your family- I’m delighted to be the custodian of Jock’s and your clubs which will be given a 2nd life through our Regional Junior Golf program and the clubs will take pride and place on some of the hand made trophies 🏆 that we’re creating- and hopefully will be displayed for many years to come in a guy’s man cave or cellar!
