These are great golf balls at a great price. I am very pleased with the quality.

Just a warning most of the balls had company logos on them I don't care because I lose a lot of balls but I just thought others should be warned.

Our AAA+ Golf Balls should play similar to a new ball. They will appear to have been hit for at least one full round of golf and will show moderate signs of wear. Cart path marks may be evident and the color may be inconsistent...

I purchased these this year, and I still have a few (I play a lot and lose maybe one per round). Here's the breakdown: - maybe 50% Mojo balls - 10% Ignite or Juice - 40% PD (High, Long, and Soft) Your mileage may vary, of course. Pro: I love the PD Soft and High. The Long is OK, but I don't care for the feel. Pro: All balls in excellent condition. I'd probably buy again just because you can get good balls for 50c each. Con: Way too many Mojo balls. I don't care for them. They feel and play a lot like a range ball. If I could get a whole bag of the used PD balls, I'd gladly pay a few dollars more.

Our Mint Golf Balls will look and play as new. Some may have unnoticeable to slight imperfections. Balls will appear to have been hit for a maximum of one hole, but most will look as though they were lost on the first tee box...

Men's Nike Dri-Fit No Show 3-Pack Socks Men's Nike Dri-Fit No Show 3-Pack Socks

Reviews

My 12 year old has huge, rapidly growing feet and these socks have stayed soft, stretchy and comfortable for him through several shoe sizes. These are the first socks I have ever purchased for him that prompted him to say he will NOT WEAR any other kind!

the socks are ok, but too short if you wear tall snickers. they tend to be "eaten" by your shoes all the time... a little bit annoying.

I really like the Nike Dri-Fit anklet for everyday wearing. They are just the right thickness for providing comfort and cush without being bulky. They also stay up without being too tight on the ankle.

These socks are great for running and working out. They are great quality and absorb sweat. I will be buying another 3-pack soon. -RJII, FL

With a set of clubs borrowed from the next door neighbors, Nick started learning golf at his local club. Within four years he was the best amateur player in Europe, winning the English Amateur Championship and the British Youth Championships in 1975. The following year Nick took up golf professionally finishing 8th on the European Tour Order of Merit in 1977 and 3rd in 1978 and winning a European Tour event in each of those seasons. In the former year he became the youngest player to appear in the Ryder Cup at the age of twenty one. Faldo was one of the leading players on the European Tour in the early 1980s, and he topped the Order of Merit in 1983.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s Faldo was one of the very best players in the world. He won the Open Championship again in 1990 and claimed it a third time in 1992. He also won the Masters Tournament, which is also one of golf's four major championships in 1989 and 1990. He spent time at the top of the Official World Golf Rankings and claimed the European Tour Order of Merit a second time in 1992. That year he had worldwide earnings of £1,558,978, a world record.

Faldo was named the PGA TOUR Player of the Year in 1990, and the European Tour Player of the Year in 1989, 1990 and 1992. He has won 29 European Tour titles. As Faldo entered his forties his form gradually fell away and he devoted more time to off course activities. The last season that he played fairly regularly on the PGA Tour was 2001. He refocused on the European Tour, but played less than a full schedule. His last top 10 finish in a major to date, and probably his last of all, was tie for eighth place at the 2003 Open Championship. As of July 2005 his European Tour career earnings are just under ˆ8 million and his PGA Tour earnings are over $5 million.
