Bermuda Islands
Like we used to say on our home page, if you can’t go to the island, have the island sent to you. Indeed, in 1971, Marge & Bill mailed this to Etta & Earl. Stamp and postmark are there. Grade: 1

Code: 35700043
Price: $4.00
British Amateur Golf Championship, Abe Mitchell
From “The Nostalgia Postcard Collector’s Club,” it is fully printed on the back so can’t be sent as a postcard in the normal way. Therefore, of course, unused. Grade: 1

Code: 35700044
Price: $1.00
Portrush, 1911, Miss Boyd (England)
From “The Nostalgia Postcard Collector’s Club,” it is fully printed on the back so can’t be sent as a postcard in the normal way. Therefore, of course, unused. Grade: 1

Code: 35700045
Price: $1.00
Pensacola, Sunny City Country Club, Bob Goolnick (Florida)
If we just go by what we see online, Bob Goolnick is known mostly for his golf postcards. Well, here’s one, but because of the poor condition (sticker remnants), ours is cheaper. Grade: 4

Code: 35700047
Price: $0.50
Ocean Springs, Gulf Hills Dude Ranch & Golf Club (Mississippi, USA)
Mailed in 1958 with stamp and full postmark, the card is somewhat aging and slightly abraded, but otherwise clean. Grade: 2

Code: 35700048
Price: $1.00
Shenzhen (PR China), multiple attractions (set of four)
Kindly get your coffee and relax because this description may take awhile. It’s a set of four unused cards, each measuring 4″ x 11-5/8″, so they are well oversized. The red paper wrap identifies this China Post product, from 2018, and our scan shows the front of one card (the other three are similar but with different places) and the reverse of another. All cards have pre-printed, coloured postage and a kind of “shadow” graphic further identifying most of what’s on the front. Clearly these cards fit many of our categories–in fact, they set the record–because Shenzhen is a city of about 15 million people and has everything, including Mission Hills Golf Club, which actually has 12 18-hole courses (as of this writing; by now there may be more) and is the world’s largest golf facility. So, if you have any questions about these Shenzhen postcards, please ask us. Grades: 1

The Three Stooges (USA)
Unused. Grade: 1

Code: 35700050
Price: $1.00
Greetings from Rhode Island (USA)
Unused card with a few statistics in the caption. Can you spot the golfer? He’s in that pink bubble about halfway down the left side of the state. Grade: 1

Code: 35700051
Price: $2.00
Dunes Golf and Beach Club, Myrtle Beach (South Carolina, USA)
Unused Dexter Press card 46856-B, minor aging. If it helps seal the deal, the golfer blasting from the Trap on the Famous Par 5 Thirteenth Hole is Jimmy D’Angelo. Grade: 1

Code: 35700052
Price: $1.00
Prospect House Park and Golf Course, Lake Bomoseen (Vermont, USA)
Unused Curteich-Chicago C.T. Art-Colortone card 3A-H1025 (78LB). Poor Lake Bomoseen, subject to various flora and fauna invasions over the years. We’re not certain if this golf course is still there, but it’s an attractive if mildly aging postcard. Grade: 1

Code: 35700053
Price: $2.00
Rutland Country Club (Vermont, USA)
… as seen from the 16th green. Mailed in 1931, with stamp and postmark, and handwriting unique to that era. Minor postal ink smudging on front right corner. Grade: 2

Code: 35700054
Price: $3.00
Walt Disney World, A Goofy Way to Putt (Orlando, Florida)
It’s an indistinct postmark (1980? 1990? one of those two) but the 10-cent stamp is there on this card mailed from Orlando. Grade: 1

Code: 35700055
Price: $2.00
South Grove Golf Course, Indianapolis (Indiana, USA)
A plan announced in 2019 to close this course “within a few years” drew all sorts of reactions, not least of which was someone’s observation that “fewer people are playing golf”. Well, if golf courses close, that will definitely be the case. Unused, older Metrocraft card 44719, aging somewhat but still: Grade: 1

Code: 35700056
Price: $2.00
South Padre Island Golf Course (Texas, USA)
Unused card. Grade: 1

Code: 35700057
Price: $2.00
Arizona Country Club Golf Course (USA)
Unused, slightly aging Mike Roberts card B10586, showing Camelback Mountain, the Arizona Country Club Golf Course, downtown Phoenix, Encanto Park, and so on. Grade: 1

Code: 35700058
Price: $1.00
Spa & Golf Resort Weimarer Land, Blankenhain (Germany)
Mailed in 2020 with stamp, postmark, and several extra stickers on the back. Grade: 4

Code: 35700059
Price: $1.00
Gatlinburg Country Club Golf Course (Tennessee, USA)
Now appearing in the city of Gatlinburg’s own website as “Gatlinburg Golf Course,” that site goes on to say “The Gatlinburg Golf Course features some of the most fun and challenging holes around. Play our legendary #12, affectionately known as “Sky Hi.” It’s 194 yards in length and drops 200 feet, from tee to green, making it one of the most dramatic holes in the country.” That’s what you see on this unused card, and we have no reason not to believe their claim. Grade: 1

Code: 35700060
Price: $3.00
Scrabo Tower, and golf club (Northern Ireland)
Unused. The scene is near Newtownards. Grade: 1

Code: 35700061

Code: 35700062

Now Birdie (USA)
A Christmas theme on this unused and slightly generic card from 2003. Grade: 1

Code: 35700064
Price: $2.00
Now really you may drive that ball
Unattributed old postcard whose poem leaves us scratching our head just a bit — maybe it’s a generational gap. In any case, if you collect golf postcards, this should do. Grade: 2

Code: 35700065
Price: $4.00
Golf – The Finish
This unused Valentine & Sons’ card qualifies as much for “Romantic” as it does for “Golf” so we’ll list it both ways though neither of them look terribly interested in either one. Grade: 1

Code: 35700066
Price: $3.00
Melvin Village, Bald Peak Colony Club (New Hampshire, USA)
The Club dates from 1921 and the postcard was mailed in 1968 when The Club was in Melvin Village and not Moultonborough as it is now. The Club seems to be quite exclusive but (and) gets great Google reviews. Stamp and postmark are on the card. Grade: 1

Code: 35700067
Price: $2.00
I Luv the Rio Grande Valley (Texas, USA)
An unused card for many categories with a caption as florid as the produce it describes. Grade: 1

Code: 35700068
Price: $4.00
Valescure, Le Golf-Hotel (France)
This is an old, unused postcard, creased slightly across the upper right corner. An imposing picture, so we went to search out more information. That wasn’t any help, and we don’t know which of the different golf hotels in Valescure might be the successor to this. But in any event, the postcard survives. Grade: 2

Code: 35700069L
Price: $3.00
Tryall Golf Course (Jamaica)
Two distinct elements to this card: first, the Tryall Golf Club — still there, outside Montego Bay — and second, that it was mailed by an American sailor stationed aboard the USS William R. Rush. That was a Gearing-class destroyer in the United States Navy, launched on 8 July 1945, commissioned on 21 September 1945, sold in 1978 to the Republic of Korea to become the ROKS Kang Won (DD-922) but then in December 2016, arriving at Busan Dadaepo port for dismantling. Servicemen could use American postage to mail letters, and this one did, in 1971. The postmark shows that. Grade: 1

Code: 35700070
Price: $4.00
Bangor, Golf Links, Penobscot Valley Country Club (Maine, USA)
The Country Club dates from 1924 and is still there; the card was mailed in 1935, with stamp and postmark and the most cryptic of messages between two people who clearly knew each other well. Grade: 1

Code: 35700071
Price: $3.00
Waikoloa Beach Resort and Golf Course (Hawaii)
Unused. Grade 1

Code: 35700072
Price: $2.00
Managing to Relax with Some Golf
J. Arthur Dixon postcard PHU/24949, not postally used but with a message completely covering the reverse. Grade: 4

Code: 35700073T
Price: $1.00
Sengokubara Golf Links (Japan)
Sengokuhara district is popular in fall, when its fields of tall pampas grass turn gold. Centuries-old goblets and mosaic-patterned vases are on show at the Venetian Glass Museum, while the Lalique Museum has art nouveau objects and jewelry; paintings by Monet, Degas, and Renoir hang in subterranean galleries at the Pola Museum. Yet nothing about international golf in this upscale Hakone area. Unused old postcard. Grade: 1

Code: 35700074T
Price: $4.00
Palm Springs & Desert Resorts, PGA West (California)
Actually in La Quinta, though the unused card doesn’t say so, this is a famous golf course. Grade: 1

Code: 35700075
Price: $2.00
We are having a ripping time …
Unused, linen, Curteich-Chicago card 5A-H1563 (C-47). Grade: 1

Code: 35700076
Price: $3.00
Nagano, T Hotel Nagano Ryuoo (set of 4) (Japan)
These four unused cards from T Hotel Nagano Ryuoo come in a set, and all four appear in our scan. Golf, clouds, snow monkeys, ski … but nothing of the hotel itself. In any case, twin QR Codes on the reverses will no doubt fill you in. Grade: 1

Code: 35700077
Price: $6.00
Summer Time Sports in the Land of the Sky
This unused linen card was published in Asheville, North Carolina (USA) but there’s no other captioning, so it’s generic. As for horses on the course, we would not really want to be the groundskeeper. Grade: 1

Code: 35700078
Price: $2.00
And how do YOU know … (U.K.)
Comic postcards, saucy postcards, bawdy postcards … call them what you will, and we have plenty of them on the site, but it wasn’t until we inspected this one that we dug a little deeper into the history. We did that because, on this unused card, in the postage area a logo states “PASSED by the British Board of Postcard Censors,” and a quick Google search led us to the history — and banning — of several examples. We learn something every day, and when we saw the cards (not this one) that had been banned, we wonder how exact the criteria were. Grade:: 1

Code: 35700079
Price: $8.00
St. Andrews, Home of Golf, The Old Course (Scotland)
Many golf courses in the immediate area, but just this one unused old postcard. Grade: 1

Code: 35700080
Price: $3.00
Pompano Beach, Palm-Aire Golf and Country Club (Florida, USA)
This club is still there, and if Google is correct, is one of several with the same name … but we do get this information: “Palm Aire Country Club has a rich history dating back to 1959 when The Palms Golf Course was founded by George Palmer and Harold Broiler, and a 50-room lodge opened in 1962.” The card was mailed in 1969, with 6-cent stamp and clear postmark, and with all due respect to whomever wrote the caption — not the message itself — they were having a great time while they wrote it. Grade: 1

Code: 35700081
Price: $2.00
Fairfield Bay (Arkansas, USA)
Apparently there are all sorts of golf courses at Fairfield Bay … and the one pictured on this unused card is “7,047 yards of fantastic golfing”. And there’s a pro shop! Who would have guessed? Grade: 1

Code: 35700082
Price: $2.00
Denarau, multiple views with golf (Fiji)
Unused 4″ x 8-1/4″ card without particular identifications but with Denarau misspelled on the reverse. Grade: 1

Code: 35700083
Price: $5.00
