I played two rounds and they seemed to be about as durable as the 07 prov1s for me. My wedges dont usually tear up balls that much though. 1st ball lasted me about 20 holes and the next one was still playable at the end of the round.

Got a chance to try these this weekend and I have to say Im quite impressed. The stick well off the scoring irons and do pretty good on the green as while. They are not as good as a pro-v1 or b330rx but for $15/12 you can not beat it.

Just a question here. I have seen a few people refer to golf as a with class. In this context what does class mean? My understanding of class is social standing class or Well mannered people have class and those without do not. There could be another meaning of the word I am not familiar with so I am just looking for clarification here. Thanks

If anyone likes this ball my local walmart(and im sure others) has them on clearance for $15 a dozen. I have not tried this ball yet but picked up some to try out as thats a great price.

I play a mix. I play some very nice courses (private and semi private) and I play munis too. I like changing courses a lot. Keeps me from getting to comfortable on a course. There is 14 courses within 1 hour of me. 4 of these are private and very nice. 2 are semi private and very nice and the rest are some pretty fun munis (a 27 hole an 18 hole and some 9 holers). 2 of private courses Have semi-strict dress codes (Collar required but jeans/cargos allowed) 1 of the semi private is very very strict. All of the rest are wear whatever. Within around 2 hours of me there 50+ courses with ~6/10 or so of the semi-private having lax dress codes and all of the munis having basically no dress code. There are some very very nice munis in this range that have no dress code and no course condition problems. Most of the privates (probably 8/10 in this range have strict codes (I always said privates can do whatever they want and I obey the code when I get invited there as a guest) There are also a couple of what I would call top tier courses within the 2 hour range. I am not sure what the code is at them but I am sure it is strict.

Another thing is there are collarless golf shirts for sale in club houses where they are banned on that course (Have to have a collar period). That was always funny to me.

Texas I have played in several states around here too. I also show up in slacks instead of cargo shorts at an unknown course but I still prefer the comfort of shorts (and it gets bloody hot in Texas. It is not unheard of to hit 105F on a summer day) My father-in-law travels quite a bit internationally and has said several times that the courses he has played abroad were mostly pretty lax on the dress code (~70/30).

That is a very good point Fourputt. I would like to note that a lot of courses sell this but still do not require it. Golf is so much fun I would rather spread the sport to everyone I can regardless of attire. If I have a friend interested in golf who prefers jeans I want to be able to bring that friend to the course (As long as it is public) and introduce to the worlds best sport. Love and Respect for the game have nothing to do with attire in my opinion. I understand that it may for you. I do not think you are wrong for that as long as you respect that yours is not the only opinion.

Wow went back and looked at your first post. "The big problem with those people is if you do not have enough sense to dress somewhat appropriately to go to the course, then you certainly don't have enough sense to have any sort of etiquette while on it." There was my whole freaking point and you are one of the ones who said it. You went on and on to me about how you do not judge but look and that man. Is that not judging? So which is true? Do you or don't you? Seems to me you do not own up to your statements. Which is funny because you accused me of the same thing. EDIT: As far as I am concerned elitists like you are bad for the game. Not the new player who is loving playing and learning the game that just happens to wear clothes outside your so-called "norm". I will never discourage someone from playing based on appearance I will only try to educate them on the rules and etiquette of golf. You would just rather they went home.

Okay throw your little tantrum and stomp out. I already mentioned that I obey dress codes at private clubs. You just are just really up on your high horse man. Someday your ego will shatter and you will come crumbling down. Hey and you know it's lonely at the top but at least you get to look down on all the little people... EDIT: I also stated that private clubs have a right to make the dress code whatever they want and people should obey it at private clubs.

I completely agree. Being married does not mean you become 1 person. You should still have some interests of your own. However you do still have to be a good dad/mom husband/wife and not be selfish about your hobby. My wife and I both have hobbies and we both spend about the same amount of time at them without neglecting each other or our children.

See in my experience it is the opposite. I have no problem with private clubs having a strict dress code. That is their right and I obey it completely when playing a private clubs. Find me a study that says the majority of golf courses have a strict dress code. I think it is reversed. There are lots and lots of courses with very minimal dress codes. They may in fact even be the majority. I wish we could poll every course in the world and get an answer but it is just not possible. Now there are probably themes in different small areas. For example near me there is only one course with a strict code but near you there may only be one without it. When speaking for golf the game however we would have to take a count world wide as it is a world sport.

I did say that dress codes are good and I am in the majority there. I did however say that I do not agree with the restrictions. This thread deviated from the original question a long time ago. The poll is a good/bad thing but the thread is a discussion about what the code should be among lots of other things.

Another one for NM Golf. Already responded in previous post. I never said everyone in this thread and I never named you. You ego is so big that everyone must be talking about you I guess. Again, you are not the center of the universe. Oh look name calling again and elitist attitude again. There you go feel better call me a newbie. You know that being on these forums longer makes you 100% right and a smarter better person. You really seem to have this super ego and are very afraid that it will be shattered if you admit you are not at the top.

NM Golf here is your second response to me. I do not know what to say. You seem to believe in imaginary rules set out by society. I live in Texas. I my area wearing tight jeans with a tucked in t-shirt is considered "nice" by lots of people. I really do not get where you get this ego crap. I really do not have one. I guess I am slob in a my choice of clothing because you keep saying it and your way is the only one. The more and more I read your statements you seem to have this elitist attitude. I am not twisting the freaking meaning. Go back and re read man. There are lots of posts about this. The poll on this thread is dress codes good or bad. The theme of this thread is what the dress code should be and why. Basically what you are saying here is you are so stuck on your opinion being right that you will never even consider anyone elses opinions. Open up a little and talk to other people. Then why did you even respond to my post in the first place? I have no axe to grind and no chip on my shoulder. My style of dress is considered just fine in my area. You are just so glued to your opinion being the only one that you can not handle people having different ones. You are the one with the ego. You are not the freaking center of the universe man. I already talked about this one in a previous post.
