Can you imagine...15,000,000 dozen balls per year = one third the world total .

Taipei, Mar. 22, 2010 (CENS) – La\nch Technologies Co., a specialized maker of golf balls in Taiwan, will set up a new plant in the industrial processing zone in Pingtung, southern Taiwan, with the new plant to raise the company's annual output from the existing 7.5 million dozens of golf balls to 10-15 million dozens within three years, turning the firm into the world's largest golf ball subcontractor.

Launch is a subsidiary of Advanced

International Multitech Co. (AIT), one of Taiwan's leading golf equipment makers. AIT has been turning out mainly golf clubs and heads and about four years ago decided to diversify into golf balls, hence its setting up in 2006 a new plant nearby its headquarters in Tashu, Kaohsiung County, next to Pingtung.

Seeing growing demand for balls, AIT recently decided to invest US$10.94 million to set up a new golf ball plant in Pingtung's processing zone, also moving Launch into the zone as well. Initially Launch will add one more production line to raise golf ball output by 2.5 million dozens, with expansion perhaps scheduled for later depending on demand.

Insiders disclosed that Launch's net profit is usually 20%-25%, with annual revenues of about US$62.5 million per year. Its major clients include world-famous brands as TaylorMade, Callaway, Dick's, and Mizuno, with Callaway and TaylorMade placing annual orders of three million dozens and two million dozens, respectively.

interesting their current revenue of 62.5M on 7.5M dozen balls. That means they charge about $8.33/dozen

Well son, when a Mommy golf ball and a Daddy golf ball love each other very much...

Why do they call golf "golf"?  Because all the other four letter words were taken.

I was always under the impression that love was optional but liquor was mandatory.

      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.

      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?
