I have a bad habit of collecting things! As well as collecting old woodworking tools, old vintage brass garden hose nozzles, etc, I also have a golf ball collection of monogrammed golf balls. I had a display case that would allow me to display 25 golf balls and my collection has outnumbered that amount. I decided to use the boughten case that I currently have and expand it across the width to hold 70 golf balls. Here is the final result. As with all my other projects, you can read the article of the build process of this new case on my website at: http://www.oldaveswoodshop.com/Golf%20Ball%20Display%20Case.php
I have yet to transfer the golf balls from my current case into the new one.
Comments are welcomed.

Looks good….......I have a different problem, I will eventually loose every golfball I see, or every ball that I “slice”

Did I miss it? What’d you do for the ‘dimple’ in which each ball sits?
Are they just holes?

Actually, I used a 3/4” corebox router bit that I set up in my drill press to make the “dimples”. I first used a 1/4” drill bit to drill smaller holes in the locations to help guide the corebox bit at lthe desired locations. I then switched to the corebox bit set at a depth of half the thickness of the shelf boards to finish.

Very nice Dave, all my golf balls end up in the woods or the pond.
