Golf ball handle ends

**Nick79** · Aug 18, 2025, 09:00 AM

Have made several “handles” using old golfballs. They are available in a small variety of colors so no painting is required and can help with quick tool selection. I have also made them into the finials? to secure lamp shades. Since my condo is on a golf course this works - sure a little tacky but I also use an old hickory shafted iron as a towel bar. Bolts through a board capped off by a ball, function as a coat rack. Yes, you can get carried away…

I have made my launcher with a empty Helium tank and a modified lawn sprinkler valve, The PVC pipe at Loew's or HD is too large for a golf ball, But I found a place in CA. that has the right sized pipe. The only draw back was the shipping was more than the pipe!
