Signed golf ball #252 will soon be added to my unique autographed golf ball collection. A friend played with the late Lawrence Welk many years ago and had the famous band leader sign a golf ball for him after the round. I now have twenty-three signed golf balls from entertainers such as Bob Hope, Clint Eastwood, Jack Lemmon, Ray Romano, Jack Nicholson, John Denver, Kevin Costner, and Regis Philbin, to name just a few. The entertaining and interesting stories behind many of my celebrity autographs are told in my hobby memoir, Hooked on Autographs. The book can be purchased on Amazon.com. Joe Galiardi, author
