I've seen these at Sharper Image a bunch of times. If they made them look more like sunglasses and less like those glasses you buy at Lowes for work and stuff I might buy a pair, but I don't deny that they work.

I got a floating ball. The package says, "put this in play when you have a difficult shot over a water hazard" lol. I told my mom I might get laughed off the tee box with that ball.

I never understood those. What do you do, then - wait for it to float close enough to the edge that you can get it? Except for streams or balls you top into the edge of the hazard, most are still going to be difficult to retrieve.

That is hilarious, like the joke about the guy whos bragging his ball cant get lost, not in the woods, not in the water, not anywhere. Then when asked where you can buy it,  the guys says, beats me, I found it.

It ain't bragging if you can do it.

I have about 5 dozen of the floating golf balls. I live on a pond so I hit them into the pond and then they are noramlly back my the edge by the next morning and I will go take a qucik walk around pond to pick them all up. Saves alot of money on going to the range. Only thing that sucks is I can only hit up to about a 7 iron, going to the 6 iron I start to put some on the other edge.

I was intrigued when I saw these in a store but figured they wouldn't really be all that helpful in the rough when you can't see the ball at all anyways.

Waiting out the 2 feet of snow that just dropped on the course....

    • Fantastic selection! And very little driving between them. Fingers crossed the weather is good to you.
    • Day 20: 2026.01.22 Hit about twenty balls at the range. Quietly pleased with how the changes are bedding in, surprsingly consistent ball flight. Hoping to film over the weekend to capture new movement.
    • You might also consider a tune-up lesson. Check and see if anything in your set-up or basic swing is holding you back. I have been playing for more than five decades, but on occasion I've had to make swing tweaks due to age, loss of flexibility, etc. You don't have to reinvent your swing. A couple of static set-up changes might really help out.
    • Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip. 
    • Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)
