Little gimmicky thing a friend got from his father.
The fellow who presumably made it has passed away, and he took the
method he used to make it with him, presumably.

The golf ball has a very smooth hole driled through it, and it moves
freely on the wood shaft. Both ends of the shaft are too thick for
the ball to pass over them.


We looked under a 30X dissecting microscope at work..no joints

Hit it with various wavelengths of UV thinking if any glue was used
and the join was well disguised, we might detect flourescence from the
glue ..nothing.

Did the fellow drill the hole, and have the tree grow through it?

Was the ball split? We can't detect any evidence of this on the ball
either.

Let me know what ya' think

Thanks
