How to get people back into Golf! Use these balls and feel like a Pro on the Tee Box

I played 14 holes (twilight all you can golf rate) with this ball just a couple of days ago and I shot a 41 on a par 35. For me my normal score for that side would have been around 50. I was literally laughing out loud at every tee box after I hit another fairway. Of my 14 tee shots, only 1 missed the fairway and it was in the first cut of rough by 8 inches! And in reality I had lined up incorrectly so I blame myself. On the 2 par 3s I was on the green each time and made the par which is unheard of for me. I had 5 pars which I have not done in years and this was my best score for that course on the back side.I have a huge case of the yips on the tee box because of my 40 degree slice so I try to think of all of the things I am supposed to do and end up hating golf. I was going to quit playing after this year because it just ended up being no fun anymore. I started just using a 5 iron off the tee just to keep the ball in play.Now, because of this ball, I am going to play again on Sunday (2 days from now) and I have signed up for a Myrtle Beach golf trip with 15 other buddies who are all dying to try these balls.I had 2 of the best drives on holes number 12 and 15. When I played the "extra" holes, there is a par 5 that I almost reached in 2 shots which I have never ever done. I am not a long hitter at all but I did have an interesting comparison. I hit my Polara 3 piece in the middle of the fairway and then took out a Pro V1, same swing, and sliced it my usual 40 degrees. The Titleist wound up in the rough and behind the Polara by 25 yards. I never had an issue with distance one time with the driver. The thing you never think about is your second shot. I used to live in fear of hitting a 3 wood or a 5 wood because I would aim out of bounds on the left side knowing I would hook the ball. This works ok for links style courses but on tight courses I always have to hit 6 iron which means I still have another full iron into the green. Now I can take out a 3 wood and have no fear. I also never adjusted the ball on the fairway or the rough. I figured it would sort itself out in the air. And it always did.With all that being said, I did notice some interesting shot trajectories with my irons, mostly the 8 iron. I was not striking the ball well with my irons but they had a very top spin like trajectory. However, I never had a problem with distance and they all went straight so I am taking some much better golfers with me on Sunday and seeing if they experience the same thing.I also found that I like the feel and sound of these balls when putting. I know it seems strange but I was putting very well and the the bounce off of the clubface was just perfect. I can't explain it.So after having said all of that, I am just a recreational golfer and never really cared about golf or playing anywhere nice because of my horrible game. Now I am buying a new driver, setting up golf trips, and saving for a new set of irons all because of a golf ball. Golf Digest talks about geting people back into the game and for me this is it. Make the game fun and allow us to feel like a pro sometimes. I stand at the tee box, swing as hard as I can, and then get 3 legitimate chances at birdie in 9 holes. I am going from playing 5 times a year to playing at least once a week and going to pour around $1,000 into new clubs and driver. How can this not be good for the game? I never play tournaments so that is no issue and when I play with friends instead of them spotting me 5 to 6 strokes we will play even as I have told them all I play these balls.

Pros
  • Golf ball is designed for recreational golfers
Cons
  • The unique design may make it difficult to find lost balls on the course

Had these for over a year and barely tried them out. On the range before hand I was consistently hitting a slight slice with my irons and a significant slice with my driver. Once we got on the course with these balls I hit 16 of 18 fairways off the tee box and shot an 82 overall. These balls do work! Now I just have to get my putting under control. 😂
