Anyone know how old this golf ball is? I got it my from my grandfather's house after he recently passed away, and he never played golf so I was surprised to find it. It's an LSU stamped Titleist K2 Acushnet. I can tell it has a liquid core because I can hear it when shaken.

It’s too big if it’s all the way up to the brick fireplace. There should be a gap.

OP, did you find any smaller rugs at your grandfather’s house?

That rug looks like something that’d be in a dorm room.

K2’s go back to the late 60’s, from what I BBC saw online.

Also had not clue that “Titleist” is not a company but a brand under the umbrella of a South Korean company, Fila, and Acushnet manufactures the ball.

Also, no ball would have a liquid core, as that would be a nightmare, so the core must’ve degraded inside the ball somehow.

BTW, I have no issues with the rug.

I’m not saying I’d have it at my house...I just don’t have an issue with it at yours.

You are mistaken. Years ago, many wound ball construction companies used liquid cores.

Really? That seems awfully bad considering. Thanks for correcting me.

Slazengers had it. About the consultancy of hand sanitizer from what I remember. About a mile of rubber band between that and the cover.
