Allee Willis’ Kitsch O’ The Day – Vintage Golf Ball Corkscrew
My favorite Sundays are when I entertain and this golf ball corkscrew has been held in the hands of almost every brunch guest who’s ever been over here. It’s as close as anyone will get to a golf course around here as the only use I have for golf balls and clubs are as bar accessories as seen here or as found objects in my art and sculptures. Like this series of Arnold Palmer Golf Hat & Coat Racks I made in 1987.
Judging by the vast number of both vintage and new bar accessories that incorporate golf equipment I’d say the liquor industry has to be pretty happy with this sport!

Allee…this is really “top drawer”
Fondly,
The “Country Club” Girl
I especially admire the vintage Googie-era boomerang-pattern countertop background.
Thank you! That formica is on a vintage round soda fountain table in a pink leatherette covered breakfast nook.
I really admire your craftsmanship with found objects. The Arnold Palmer Coat Stand looks great. Thanks for sharing.
It’s got a matching baseball hat and coat rack that I’ll post soon.
