Reduced flight tournament

[chrstianrockboy]

Hello all,

I haven't been active on here for a while. Ive been too busy at work. Got promoted to Head employee.

I have a thought for a unique tournament idea.

Our course is shorter 6700 from longest, and I thought about using reduced flight balls to give everyone the feeling of ball flight when the course was made (56') i know its not a 100% percent correlation, but just for a fun unique idea (It was must likely be an MGA event and scramble, where there's more drinking than golfing)

My only problem is finding the golf balls for it. Ive looked online and in the few books i can find for ordering at the club but cant seem to find any reduced flight balls, range or otherwise.

Do any of you know where to find any?

What about limited flight range balls?

I used something like these at a links course with antique clubs. Not sure if this is the exact company that made the ones I used, but. . .

Limited flight range balls might be more consistent, but I don't really know.

Those are some ridiculously expensive balls. $160 for a dozen of the "Vardon" model? I hope they have a built-in tracking system.

I looked into the range balls, I just couldn't find a place to order them, or in a quantity conducive to a tournament. I'm thinking that 6-12 balls a player should be good, even if we have a huge group of 50 that's only 600, not the 1000 ball orders I've seen online so far.

The good part is they don't go very far so it's hard to lose them.
