The listing was for 10 pallets of new balls, all major brands.

It turned out he was scammed...

Well it’s not  just a matter of poor/fake products…it’s phishing that may cause a data breach that far exceeds the money you wasted on a bogus product.

10 pallets? That has to be a ton of golf balls. And why would anyone want that many golf balls?

My buddy intended to resell them for $25 per doz.

I was just alerting TST to be on the lookout for this and 
if any FB users had seen this add on FB Market Place?

This.  A thousand times over, this.  A lot of people are out there just scheming.

      Short Game Chef (Parker McLachlin) Short Game Videos

      By iacas · Posted

      My flop shots are 6-7° down (AoA). Does that answer it? 😄  The longer answer is… You have to be able to do both shots.

      Short Game Chef (Parker McLachlin) Short Game Videos

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I hope you don't mind me raising this one from the dead. I got shortgamechef's video access thing for a few months in 2024. I watched his yip fix videos (the general gist is similar to the first video above, but with a lot more detail) and it made a lot of sense. I was working on it in my backyard off a mat for a while and my yippy thing was mostly gone. Aside from anything else, the flop shot using that technique is so easy and controllable. But I got onto a golf course for the first time of the year and found myself by the green on a downslope with the ball sitting down a little in the rough and I was, not to put too fine a point on it, f***ed. Shallow is all well and good from a good flat lie and I understand it, but you can't make that your be all and end all. I still don't know if it's a good idea to use steep all the time or just when you need to. I have a hard enough time with one technique, let alone too.  Just got a pitching skillest lesson with Erik and unless I misunderstood things some, he wants me a bit steeper. @iacas - where do you fall on the steep vs shallow argument and how do you vary it according to need?
