the exploding golf ball

[N.V.M.]

a couple weeks ago my g/f ask me to make some trophy bases for the golf tourney she organized for the local veterans club. one of the old birds glued together some golf balls,painted and decorated them which i had to attach to the bases i made.

anyways, as i was pre-drilling holes in one of them for the screws, SPLOOSH! this brown gooey liquid explodes all over me. luckily, i wear glasses so none went in my eyes, but my face and clothes were covered by this stuff.

do they still make liquid filled balls or was this something really old? man, was i scared because i was only halfway through the job(i was only on the second of several) and every time i drilled into another ball, i was expecting the worst. not to mention a couple of the guys in the shop laughing they're asses off at me.

all in all though, they turned out well in a girly folksy way,LOL. here's the results.

Wow those are nice trophies! Great work!

Nice trophies! Yes, they still do make liquid filled balls, which spray a watery mist at impact. They also make exploder's which are filled with a powder and explode at impact.

He did do a great job. I have to tell you the "ladies" were impressed!! It was my first golf tournament that I ever organized and I wanted something other then the traditional trophy to present.

When he told me this happened (in an email, as we were both at work) and told me this "goo" went all over the trophy bases, I had visions of them all being ruined.

Thank goodness, it was water soluble!!!!!!!!!

I might add, the tournament was a complete success, great weather, tons of fun and prizes......and a great meal (which I prepared).......lol

Good time had by all!!
