The reason I even knew about them is because I played as a single last week and got paired with a father/mother/daughter and the daughter was playing one. When her swing was good, the ball flew fine.

My young son is picking up the game, much to my delight.

Just a suggestion, but at this stage of the game I'd say the most inexpensive ball you can find.

Dub you really need to look into having your son join the First Tee of Augusta. He'll have to take the beginner level class (pre-Par certification) in order to be a member, but it's definitely worth it. It's an 8 week class and you can take it with him. Members get range buckets for .50 cents and they can walk the 6 hole course for $2. The course is in great shape and is set up well for kids (4 par 3's, a par 4, and a par 5). An added plus is that on the course there is no pressure from other groups regarding how slow you're playing. A lot of adults play out there (to walk it's $1 per hole for non members) but everyone knows it's there for the kids and acts accordingly. I play out there all the time with my sons. This Summer we were out there practically everyday! Another neat thing about playing there is that we'll always end up finding lots of balls. Nice balls. Sometimes out in the middle of the fairway?!? I haven't had to buy my son any balls, and we've got a huge rubbermade container at home full of practically brand new balls.

I actually found a Dunlop (i think) Ladies ball and tried it out. I was impressed with it around the green but I actually lost distance off my drives so I went back to my TP Blacks. I agree with Chief Broom, just find balls around the course or buy some inexpensive ones like the Nike's that have been suggested. Every kid loves Tiger.

Putter:  Anser 4

Oh, and there are always these bad boys:

I wouldn't have noticed unless you pointed it out, LOL. What does a low compression ball do in comparison to a high compression ball?

      Day 29 (9 Dec 25) - PW dink and rolls as well as low flighted chips.  Dink and rolls - set up with club head toe down/heel up to promote low flight, plenty of roll out.  Low flighted pitches - club flat on the ground to get ball up a Rick more and check more.   No more than 10yds total distance - focus on getting the ball to finish near (within 10’ dia circle) the target “pin”…

      Never play with him again, and make sure every time you see him (especially when he's with other people) bring it up as a joke. Everyone will laugh but him. If he wants to ruin his own reputation, let him.

      Anyone Shipped Their Golf Clubs?

      By Jasper Stratton · Posted

      Only ever used ShipSticks and never had a problem. It's really nice because you can ship to anywhere not just courses.  No matter what you use, I take the extra care of the clubs and wrap them in something before putting them in your bag and into the shipping box.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Jasper Stratton · Posted

      Practicing my putting after work. I put five balls on the carpet and a mug on the other side. Once I make 3 out of 5 I can stop. If I leave any short or they go to far and fall off the rug, I restart.  Focusing on speed and hitting my mark 3 inches in front of me. Trying to gain consistency and discipline in all aspects of my putting game.
