I collect autographs on golf balls. I have over 375 signed balls in my bag from celebrities from all walks of life, including seven signed balls by U.S. presidents starting with Richard Nixon. Currently, my collection is being considered by the Guinness World Records as b eing the largest in the world.

Why do you want to join Autograph Live?
To share my unforgettable collection of anecdotes and yarns described in my original and unusual hobby memoir titled, Hooked on Autographs. Beginning with how I became an autograph seeker, in sixteen spirited chapters, I describe many of my favorite tales in garnering and gathering autographed golf balls from best-loved golfers, famous entertainers, notable sports figures, and U.S Presidents. Golf lovers will revel and non-golfers will delight in reading how I was able to obtain my impressive stockpile (over 375 signed balls) of celebrity autographs. My roster of celeb autographs reads like a Who's Who in the hallowed halls of legends from all walks of life.
Who can we thank for telling you about us?
No one referred me to Autograph Magazine.
What are your areas of interest?
Sports, Books/Literature
Why do you collect?
For the thrill of the hunt and challenging pursuit to obtain sought-after celeb autographs on golf balls.

Golf legend, Arnold Palmer. I acquired his signature on a golf ball on October 25, 1989, at the Transamerica Senior Championship at Silverado Country Club, Napa, CA. Arnold's autographed ball launched my fascinating new hobby that has changed my life for the better.

    Hey Joe,

    You wrote to thank me about your blog but I can't remember what we talked about! Either you wrote me a long time ago or I'm getting senile...either one is possible. ;)

    Please fill me in. If I'm losing my memory, be gentile. ;)
