A Blast from the Past

My "Haggin Oaks" Google alert turned up a fun listing on Ebay that I wanted to share with our readers. "gcakids" is selling a vintage "Haggin Oaks Golf School" golf ball that looks like it was pretty well used over the years.

I checked with our own Ken Morton, Sr. to confirm the authenticity of this ball and he remembers them well. "These were solid one piece range balls that we used for our Golf Schools that I used to run."  In Ken's estimation, this ball is 30+ years old.
