Anyone know where to get those prank golf balls that explode into a cloud of dust when struck?

I'm playing against a real prankster who got me last season when he replaced my ball in the rough with those golf balls that don't roll straight. And Its time I repay the favor!

Yeah, a lot of pressure. Rise above it. Harness in the good energy, block out the bad. Harness energy, block bad.

I would think just about any golf store. I was at Cape Fear Golf Store the other day and they had (at least) three kinds of prank "golf" balls. The kind that explodes into "smoke", the kind that won't roll straight and the kind that explodes into strings of something (paper?). I think they had the balls either individually or as a three ball pack, one of each in the pack.

If you want to order over the internet, you can buy the exploding ball here http://www.golfballs.com/PB1012-NWH0...olf-Balls.html .

How do you plan on getting him? The ones I have seen look pretty fake and everyone usually uses there own ball on the tee. If anyone has used one in the past give up the details on how you pulled off the prank.

I planned on doing this to my dad this weekend. I work at golf course and I'm gonna grab empty pro v box form the trash and "surprise" at the tee and put it on the tee for him and tell him to rip it! Thats the best idea I've xome up with for getting the ball on the tee, without him knowing so far.

That sounds like a pretty good idea...let us know if you get him. I was also thinking that you could print out a little sticker that says pro V1 on it and stick it on there so it looks legit when standing over it.

Also you may want to toss him a real pro v1 to look at while you tee the fake one up, may be a good distraction.

The exploding ball works pretty well sometimes when the only guy who knows is the guy hitting the ball. For example, on a golf trip of 24 guys, 23 of whom are watching the first guy to tee off on the first hole, the first guy takes a rip at the ball and nobody is expecting the explosion except the guy expoloding the ball. That usually gets a pretty good reaction.
It does seem unlikely anybody who is actually a golfer would fall for the old exploding ball since it doesn't really look like a real golf ball, not shiny enough and with a very unsophisticated dimple pattern. Plus most guys & gals who are actually golfers always check a ball in the fairway and rough to make sure it's theirs and on tee balls & putts like to set the ball up with a particular orientation which differs, of course, from golfer to golfer.

I was wondering how to get him. This is the perfect idea. I was tricked last year when my buddy "helped me find my ball in the wooded rough. I was so concerend about penalty that I celebrated finding my ball with a mighty wack. Yup. I was had.

I tagged a buddy of mine with the exploding golf ball. Here is how I did it...I waited till he put on in the rough, yes it was tall grass and as we drove up to the ball I jumped out and looked at his ball and palmed it with the fake. I turned to him and said yes here it is, (trusting guy he is) so he hops out grabs his wedge and POOF...we were playing with a couple that we hadn't ever met and we all laughed for a good two or three minutes.

A couple years ago we went and played for my brothers bachelor party. We had 16 guys all hanging arround the first tee. Since I put it all together, they had me tee up first. I get ready to hit and then one of the guys says "let's get a picture first." I turn my back on my ball and they start snapping shots. I turn arround and go to address my ball and realize that it's bright white. I was playing a ProV1 and they are more off white. If they had gone after someone slightly less aware it would have been perfect. If you can get him in a situation where you have some sort of occasion with a group and a couple accomplises you could be allright.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By WillieT ·

      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.
