Another quick fact about Golf Balls... the first golf balls were hard wooden round balls, used between the 14th and 17th century. During this time the featherie ball was developed and introduced; these were hand-sewn round leather pouch filled with chicken and goose feathers, coated with white paint. At that time each ball was worth between 2 shillings and 5 shillings, which is equivalent to $10 and $20 today.
