Dick Falenski has sought to have a collection of a whopping 36,000 unique golf balls, which is believed to be the biggest collection of unique balls in the world.

The Daily Express reports that Falenski, a resident of York in Pennsylvania, had collected his first ball more than 50 years ago.

According to the report, he now has reached a point where he has to store them all in specially-made coffee tables, gumball machines, and Victorian bathtubs in the basement of his apartment located on Fairway Drive.

The balls, some of which date back almost 200 years, have been gathered from 34 different countries, the report said.

 

The report added that Dick's incredible collection features balls that belonged to US presidents such as Bill Clinton and sports stars like Michael Jordan.
