I was in Walmart today picking up some tees and saw the Reds on clearance for $21 dz. I fel in love with the Reds last years when they were $27.50 and have been sitting on 3 dz since the end of summer. Knowing they are going to be discontinued, I planned on picking up a few dz more since Walmart had them for $29. For this price I don't think I can pass up stocking way up. I know others like this ball so you may want to check out the Walmarts in your area, unless you live by me.

Yep, picked up 2 dozen today. Great deal, but I wish they weren't discontinuing this ball, it's a great match for me, as I spin the ball alot with my irons and wedges, and pro V1 and 1x just back up way too much. Have the same problem with the TP Blacks. I like the penta OK, but too much $$. I've got a nice little stash of about 6 dozen TP reds, and I might have to get a couple more before they're gone.
I've been giving the new Wilson Staff FG tour a run and it's a pretty good ball as well. Can't find them out here on the peninsula though, and they retail at $37 a dz.

I also wish they weren't getting rid of this ball. I can probably stock up and have them last for a while since I will start using them when things start to firm up in the late spring and summer. At $21, I will pick up a few more dozin than I would have at $30. I will not have to worry about what ball to use next for a couple of seasons at least.

How's the new Wilson Staff FG Tour ball in terms of feel and performance (greenside spin, distance) compared to the TP Red LDP? I've seen them in a local golf shop, but was hesistant on giving them a test run. I'm a fan of the Red ... they have a certain softness to them. Great off the putter. My other ball is Wilson Staff Zip, which is even softer.

The FG tour plays more like a ProV1, But with a little less spin. Great feel around the greens and putting. Fairly durable.
Not quite as long as the TP Red. It feels "lighter" off the driver face. First couple of times I played it I hit it side by side w/ the TM and on impact I thought to myself "this isn't going far" but found it only 2-3 yards shorter, if that.
Haven't had a chance to play it in a stong wind yet, and to me this is an area the TM Red really shines. Best wind ball I ever played.
I suggest you buy a sleeve and give them a go. They'll be a little cheaper than the Penta, that's for sure.

    • Day 133 - Played 9 again. Driver was great, putting was better, but shots inside 100 were awful. 
    • Day 36: 15 balls, same as last few days. Then a little indoor putting.
    • hey guys, sorry about the kind of short notice, but i'm not going to be able to make it to the outing this year....  
    • Had to correct the distance - should have read 5,400 not 5,500  yds. 
    • Had to report this one - played Minnesott again today with my son.  We played behind the Friday Men's group and had a decently paced round.  My round started off par-par-bogie.  I was feeling good to be +1 through three.  Played the next two par - par and then disaster hits - well I thought it may be the unravelling of +1 through five.  Tee shot on six is a hard pull hook into the ditch separating four and six.  I know the ball is lost and re-tee - hitting three off the tee on this par five.  Long story short - what should have been at worst a bogie became a triple 8.  Now I'm +4 through six holes.  Get a solid par on seven (which I celebrated as a solid recovery hole).  Eight is a birdie and I'm back to three over.  Nine, a par 3 over water, finishes par for a 39 front.   We roll to the back to where I birdie ten (the toughest hole on the back) to be -1 after the first hole on the back, +2 for the round.  Par eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen and fifteen - that was an in the zone moment.  Have to note that fourteen - the second par 3 on the back - I hit the tee shot just short right of the flag.  Easy pitch with the 56 should put me close for a tap in par.  It does not happen - as I duff the pitch to about 3yds closer.  I reset and this time I nip it nicely only to see it land and slowly roll to the cup and drop in for a chip-in par save ( a first).   We get to sixteen and I am thinking this could be a really good round.  It's also a par 5 and I hit a solid tee shot.  I'm about 220 from the center of the green and figure I can layup with the 3w as there is a nice landing area in front of the green and it would play nicely into the typical distance I hit this club.  I'm sitting about 50 yds from the flag to the right hand side.  I overcook the 56 and see the ball bounce off the back of the turtle green.  I hit an easy 56 again to see the ball roll to the other side of the green.  Long story it became a 3putt double.  Now I am +4 through sixteen.  The last two holes are solid pars - one an up and down, the other a GIR two putt. Finished the back 1 over at 37.  Total score is a 76!  A new personal best.  Best "all around" play through the bag to date.
