Can someone help answer this question please? A tour pro will throw away their golf ball every 1-2 holes as it's deemed 'unplayable', so for me - an amateur - will a ProV1 still retain the quality after 36 holes? I wouldn't want to spend that much on a golf ball that won't perform for very long. Cheers!

yes, Pro V's will be fine for 36 holes.  The only thing you have to watch for is chewing up the cover with a wedge and stuff like that.

My philosophy on golf "We're not doing rocket science, here."

I've played the same Pro V1 for 50 holes, although I am not exactly going to say that I was sad when it finally went swimming.

If you are a 25 handicap, you probably aren't spinning the ball back from the fairways, so if you keep if out of the trees (and water, and OB), and avoid the cart paths, you probably shouldn't have a problem.

I don't know exactly where, but I read that chewing up the cover a bit doesn't really affect the performance of the ball. In fact I played a 2 day tournament where I used the same Pro V1x and chewed that thing up and saw no decreased spin or distance.

      How to Remove Verdigris From Black Burner 2.0 Irons....

      You might want to try a can of Bar Keepers Friend. Yes, it is abrasive, so just wet a sponge and dab it on. It has oxalic acid (no bleach like "Comet" kitchen cleanser), and it works wonders on stainless steel and other metals. Try it on a small area first to see what happens.

      Fair   My uneducated thought: the big miss is the penalty area. If you want to optimize score, missing into the bunker (likely 5) is better than missing right into the penalty (possible 6). With that, your strategy seems sound and if you hit a committed shot, you get a bunker 5% of the time, take your medicine and hopefully get a putt for par but accept bogey. You may find yourself in a penalty situation 2-3% of the time and accept the associated outcome. The vast majority of the time though you are giving yourself a good approach shot into the green.

      How Much do You Exercise?

      By Elmer ·

      I walk 30 mins a day on my lunch break. It is not very intense (since i dont want to get sweaty in my work clothes), so just a touch above leisurely. 3 days a week I walk on the treadmill for 60 mins. I alternate the incline from 4 to 10 for a couple minutes, once every ten minutes. I lift my kettlebells nearly everyday. I have a couple complex routines. I find just 15 minutes and my heart rates is elevated
