(THIS BLOGGER IS NOT MAKING MONEY OFF OF THIS POST)
Remember the Balata golf ball? Back in the 90s when I worked at Kapalua Golf Club, all the pros had these balls in their bags, and one pro told me, they are great around the greens, the good player could control his shot better as opposed to the shitty hard balls I would play with. And when a pro gave me some old balatas to play with I would slice those mother f...ers up badly. The outer skin was soft, even a good player couldn't keep a ball for too long it would get all out of whack. Titleist made these balls, but I was instructed by the pro to at least buy the red box 90s, the distance ball. At my caliber at the time, those distance Titleist were great, I was a lousy golfer, so any ball felt great, any ball fresh out of a sleeve. But as I got somewhat better, and I mean very slightly, I started to use the balatas. I'd get ridiculed for doing that.
"Hey Ron don't waste your money on that man, I understand you're breaking 90 now, but still man you don't need the balata golf ball."
"Oh no worries, because I'm taking these balatas out of the pros bags, you know one by one and little by little, just like a sneaky accountant padding her retirement fund, a little at a time, no one knows."
