So we all know how the titleist prov1's will dull easily. Well I found a way to delay the dulling process. I love a bright ball and I have found if I dont put the ball in the ball washer with soap that it keeps its bright luster alot longer. Just clean the ball with your hands without using soap. It seems the soap causes the cover to dull.

I just stick my slightly used ones in diluted bleach for a few hours and that brightens them up really well.

had a question though, does soaking balls with a cover like the prov1's ruin them or cause them to play different?

Didn't really know which thread to use, so this one will do.

My normal ball monger is nowhere to be found***, and I am running out of Pro-V1/x balls. I've been using used ones anyway, and am saving all the brand new ones for special occasions.

What do you think of these balls:

Thinking of purchasing one tonight. . .

*** I have not found many on the course lately, and found out that many of the other golfers are already foraging for lost balls.

I've seen those buckets in stores and, as far as I could tell through the milky plastic, the balls looked to be in fairly good condition. Some more marked up than others but otherwise they'd represent the best of what I'd find on the course. I don't buy balls like this, so I can't tell if the price is competitive, but it seems like a fair product if you already play used ones.

Yeah, that's kind of what I think, thanks.

I'm running out because my son is playing unfamiliar courses for competitions. He shot a 41/49, 5 birdies and lots of laterals from bad course management. I'm giving him LSW as a required learning. . .

One of these days I'll post a picture of my stash of golf balls. I got into a habit of collecting as many as I could and then cleaning and sorting them back when I was terrible and lost a dozen balls a round. Now I'm still terrible but can go through a round with the same ball sometimes, yet I still have the same habits and pace of play around here is glacial with a ton of waiting, so I think I'm up to about... 80 pounds of golf balls? I have enough for a number of lifetimes, haha. I'm considering getting worse at golf so I can use them up, haha. Highest Score Wins?

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
