If you are only losing one ball every 27 holes why would price be a concern. I know after 9 I wish I would lose my ball so I can hit one in better shape.

no Kidding. If I only lost one ball every 27 holes, my index would be single digits :)

At one lost ball every 1.5 rounds I'd be more worried about finding the ball that best fit my game than I would be about cost. However, I do agree with the bridgestone recommendations. They have some really good stuff in their lineup.

"take a couple weeks off - then quit for good"

The titleist nxt tour is a great ball for any level of golfer.... You will be very surprised by the distance and spin... Not backing up spin, but just stopping

The srixon URS is a very very good ball too

Would you recommend the NXT Tour over the NXT Extreme? Does anyone else have an opinion regarding which NXT is a better choice?

Don't know if it has been mentioned here, but dick's sporting goods has pro-v1 x-outs for $29.99. They are identical to the real thing.

I think the Tour overall is a better ball. It's built the same way as a Pro V1. The Extreme will give you a little more distance but does not spin as well as the NXT Tour

      My Favorite Putts

      By bkuehn1952 ·

      #4 - 1st hole at Kingsbarns I rolled in a 15 footer for birdie. Showed my caddie an old guy could still play a bit. #3 - 18th hole at Basin Harbor Club, Vergennes, VT. I had played matches against my nephew over the years. He had never beaten me although through the years he had become a long hitting teenage golfer. I was 1 up but bunkered near the 18th green. My nephew had a long putt for birdie. I splashed out of the bunker to 4 feet. He rolled his first putt close and I gave him the par. Sadly for him, I rolled mine in and won our last match. He went off to college and then Europe for a Ph. D. It was our last match. Family champion forever. #2 - First playoff hole in the City of Livonia, MI “65 & Over” division. I rolled in an 8 footer that broke about 4-5 inches. #10 Whispering Willows GC. #1  18th hole at TPC Prestancia, Sarasota, FL. A 4 foot slicing putt for par to beat the prior year’s Member/Guest winners and win the Member/Guest with my father at his club. I was having heart palpitations as I played the final hole solo when my father put two in the water. There was never a better golf sight for me when that ball dove into the hole.

      Finally, wedges getting somewhere. This one a punch gap from 87 yards to about 12 feet. Contact and ball flight absolute restaurant quality. It's nice when grass comes back.

      Tiger on the Today show today. At 3:25 he says he's working on keeping his arms in more and rotating his hips better. Nice.
