What People Are Saying About Folio I
“It’s a wonderful record and has already been of great help – both in improving our collections records and, for example, aiding the University of St Andrews Museum Studies students, who are photographing and cataloguing our Golf Ball Collection as part of their degree program.”
— Laurie Rae, Senior Curator R&A World Golf Museum
“This huge study will be the standard reference work hereafter.”
— British Golf Collectors’ Society, Book Review December 2021 by David Hamilton
“Well done, your book is excellent and a truly superb reference bible for those who collect balls from that period.”
—David Kirkwood, Heritage of Golf Museum, Gullane, Scotland.
“What makes it particularly useful is, it is organized by the name on the ball rather than having to guess who made it. It contains much new information and pairs beautifully with the ‘Bible’ of ball collecting, The Story of the Golf Ball, also by Kevin.”
— George Petro Regional Director of the Golf Heritage Society USA
“A great addition to my golf ball book collection. Very well done, just like your previous book ‘The Story of the Golf Ball’. You can put me on your list for the Folio 2, 3 and 4 with a hard cover.”
— Jean-Pierre Spinelli, Golf Ball Collector, Canada
