They were promotional balls and not just for Tiger. Retailers were giving out two ball packs if you purchased a dozen Nike Ones.

Dude, re-f***ing-lax.  I wasn't insinuating that you were making racist comments.  I was just pointing out that there are a lot of balls with colors in the name ... but that doesn't mean they are that color.

Yes, but Drew, Nike actually made them in Black (and Platinum, I think) for a short time (promotional reasons). They even got their pros to use them in the Phoenix event.

Yes, I get that ... and had he not flown off the handle, I would have gladly said "my bad" immediately if he just corrected me by saying that they actually made a black ball.

But I had very little desire to "apologize" to somebody who immediately decided I was calling him a racist.

You seem to be doing a good job at adding to it by yourself...The undertones of your original comment didn't seem very gentlemanly(to me). Golf is supposed to be a gentleman's game,played by gentlemen.  I guess your last comment seems like it's intended to escalate or incite me in some way? more power to ya big guy, you clearly feel in the right and that's OK with me...Have a Merry Christmas!!!  ps If you'er ever in Reno and want to play for some cash shoot me a message on here and I'll take you to my club and pay for your round! cheers!

I give up.

Pretty sure it's impossible for you to take anything I've said in this thread more wrong than you have to this point.

It hit 70 around Phlly yesterday and I was hoping to get a few holes in, but the course was just too wet after all the snow melted and we got about a half inch of rain on Saturday night. I would have had to go over to NJ to play and I just didn't have the time. Too much to do when the days are so short. Bummer.

The only positive thing is that, starting yesterday, the days will get a little longer every day. A little light at the end of the tunnel.

Yeah, got the depressing e-mail that the home course was closed for the season yesterday.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By GolfLug · Posted

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.

      I have access to far more data (including surveys and polls) than you do with your anecdotes. I mean this as plainly and literally as possible: you’ve demonstrated that you do not. They would, one way or the other.

      Yes, but you don't live in the UK, so you have no idea what we think about it here. It's a very different mindset here, to demonstrate the fact you should consider 9 out of 10 games we play here are Stableford, whereas you you almost solely play medal. Neither is right or wrong, it's just different  I'm trying to avoid swearing here. Once again, and for the 1000th time, I understand the system, I just don't agree with it. Is there anything wrong with that? PS, I do not have the time or patience to post my results, especially as they prove nothing  That's because 99% of the posters are Yanks
