Golf collectors?

Q: Just curious what golf "stuff" do you collect?
How big is your collection?
Do you have any criterion?

I collect metal ball markers and score cards.
Both collections are from where I've played.

A: I worked at a country club about 30 years ago, and we guys would collect the persimmon-headed woods, which refinished beautifully. There was a HUGE market for them back then.

Additional services could include club repair, club fitting, and swing analysis. Most of these golf stores use the True Temper Shaftlab and Achiever Launch Monitor swing analysis. These machines measure everything, from ball speed, club head speed to carry distance. They also provide printouts illustrating extreme deflection, shaft loading, downswing time and face angle. Most golf storeowners are actually golfers themselves. Usually, they put up a golf store after retiring from playing golf.  Like most businessmen assert, it’s good to be passionate about what you are selling. This “passion” will give feelings of satisfaction and gratification to the golf shopper and this is something money cannot buy.

Wine collector faces federal fraud charges in NYC

The criminal charges follow years of increasing suspicions about Kurniawan among top wine connoisseurs. Some of his wines were pulled from a sale in 2007 after an auction house declared them to be fakes. The billionaire yachtsman, entrepreneur and wine investor William Koch sued Kurniawan in 2009, claiming that several bottles he'd purchased from him were phony.

Federal prosecutors in New York accused Kurniawan of engaging in "multiple fraudulent schemes" related to his wine business, including trying to sell 84 bottles of counterfeit Domaine Ponsot wine at an auction in 2008, and 78 bottles of bogus Burgundy wine from Domaine de la Romanie-Conti at an auction just last February.

For that second auction, prosecutors said, Kurniawan had an associate pose as the buyer because he had already become a pariah at auction houses.

Prosecutors said Kurniawan also fraudulently obtained millions of dollars in loans to finance his playboy lifestyle.

"Mr. Kurniawan's days of wine and wealth are over," the U.S. Attorney for Manhattan, Preet Bharara, said in a statement.
