I've seen these at Sharper Image a bunch of times. If they made them look more like sunglasses and less like those glasses you buy at Lowes for work and stuff I might buy a pair, but I don't deny that they work.

I got a floating ball. The package says, "put this in play when you have a difficult shot over a water hazard" lol. I told my mom I might get laughed off the tee box with that ball.

I never understood those. What do you do, then - wait for it to float close enough to the edge that you can get it? Except for streams or balls you top into the edge of the hazard, most are still going to be difficult to retrieve.

That is hilarious, like the joke about the guy whos bragging his ball cant get lost, not in the woods, not in the water, not anywhere. Then when asked where you can buy it,  the guys says, beats me, I found it.

It ain't bragging if you can do it.

I have about 5 dozen of the floating golf balls. I live on a pond so I hit them into the pond and then they are noramlly back my the edge by the next morning and I will go take a qucik walk around pond to pick them all up. Saves alot of money on going to the range. Only thing that sucks is I can only hit up to about a 7 iron, going to the 6 iron I start to put some on the other edge.

I was intrigued when I saw these in a store but figured they wouldn't really be all that helpful in the rough when you can't see the ball at all anyways.

Waiting out the 2 feet of snow that just dropped on the course....

    • Day 113: 4/18/24 Stack training progress check after finishing my 6th program, and 4th Full Speed Spectrum Training session, which is recommended for my next program.     Gained 1 mph with driver, 195 g, 95g. Maintained with 280 g , and gained 2 with 145 g. Lost 1 mph on both lead and trail arm. Felt like I lost distance in my last round…
    • Please forgive the sweaty shirt.  Just got off the treadmill and decided to do my Evolvr drill.  
    • I'd agree that 4w seems like the right play here. I'm not a course designer or anything but that hole looks like it could be so much more fun if everyone played from those front 2 tee boxes that are right outside your shot cone and they cut down most of the trees down that left side of the fairway. That would give risk reward to long hitters who want to try and push it up to that left fairway, allow more players to reach that second fairway, and still allowing it to be perfectly playable for someone who only hits driver like 150yds off the tee.   Yeah it looks like 4iron aimed at that inside edge of the right bunker is the play there, especially if you don't expect a 20mph tailwind again. If it is down wind again, 5iron would be just fine too, it'd still get you inside 150yds for your approach.  Keep in mind tee marker locations too, you measured that one from the back so if those tee markers are moved all the way towards the front of that box then 5 iron is probably best just to be sure that right bunker is never in play. 
    • Day 1: worked on my drill for my arms.
    • Hit my tee shot just into the penalty area and barely found it. Swung hard just in case I hit it. It was slightly downhill with a heavy tailwind. I don't actually hit my 9i 170 yards.
