Used Golf Balls
All About Golf
Sunny laid back Sunday morning, extended weekends or a vacation, discussion on none of these is complete without a mention of golf. What exactly is Golf? Well it is an outdoor ball game wherein the aim is to hit the ball into a series of holes in the minimum possible strokes. A round of golf consists of 18 holes. Now the number of strokes you need to hit one hole is your Par. Each hole has a teeing area around it, which includes a fairway, a rough sideway and a green well-mown area around the hole. Then there are the “not so wanted” barriers like sand traps, water etc that are called the bunkers.

Fix Your Body, Fix Your Swing: The Revolutionary Biomechanics Workout Program Used by Tour ProsReviewsThis is a must read for anyone who wants to improve their golf game. This book does an excellent job of explaining how your body works during the golf swing, and how to condition your body for improvement. The workouts are very helpful and will help you increase flexibility and add power to your swing. I think the excersises would be very beneficial. Problem is the black and white photos are small and hard to make out. The written descriptions are fine as far as they go but it's hard to know exactly how to do them without better photos. Easy to read and understand. Your swing will not be fixed until you understand your body's deficiencies. This book will help you do so and correct what you have been doing and hopefully correct your swing. i am a personal trainer, and have just taken up golf this summer...this book is basically a 6 -pt evaluation and has several exercises listed to fix each..really about 2 minutes of reading for someone with a reasonable knowledge of exercise..i was hoping that it would have some insightful biomechnic info, but it doesnt..eval was BASIC to say least.. good quick read maybe useful for someone w/ minimal exercise experience..not a fan of authors writing style humor..sorry.. it gave me a few idea Average Rating: |

Follow the Wind: A NovelReviewsBo Links has written one of the finest books about Ben Hogan and golf in general ever. This is a thoroughly entertaining book! It is in the can't-put-down category. The author weaves a tale that transports the reader to a club situated in golf heaven (or the twilight zone). At this club the greats of the game all belong and play golf matches - each at the height of their powers. For anyone who truly loves the game of golf, and has any reverence for Jones, Hagen and especially Ben Hogan, this is a must read. It's a simple and lovely tale that will leave you feeling warm and satisfied. This book was purchased for someone else who is an avid fan of golf. He loved it. book was reconstructed upside down-- All the pages are backwards(must read from back to front--- Very difficult to read. Your mail site screwed me & charged for 2 day when I was just checking out the cost. Book $6.00 Mail $ 12.00 ridiculous- I will get hosed once, but not a second time jerry gosland , Mr. Links (great name) captures the spirit of the game of golf in this easy read. His historic knowledge of golf's greatest players as well as his personal understanding of the dreams of every weekend golfer make this a "must read" for any golf lover. Average Rating: |

The Swing: Mastering the Principles of the GameReviewsI have read quite a few golf books (by Jack Nicklaus, etc.) but this book was really great. I have been playing golf since 1969 and I have had a problem with hitting the ball to the right. This book finally showed the weak and strong grip and I changed my grip so it was stronger and now am hitting the ball straight (and sometimes even with a slight draw). I really like the way the book was written, namely that a player can always work on his golf swing, and try to improve various aspects of it, just as Nick Price has done throughout his career. This book is definitely worth reading for anyone who wishes to improve his golf game. I do not have the book yet, I am in vacations until the middle of this month. Later I will send the review. In the text on the set-up several times he says bend from the waist,in summing up he says bend from the hips; as a scratch golfer who has played for more than 55 years I know you cannot have it both ways. Excellent didactic from grip through follow through. This book simplifies the swing to its bare essentials. Excellent anecdotes and swing drills included. Most impressive to me is his criticism of Ben Hogan's classic "Five Step" book with reference to the shoulder plane during the swing and how it forced his swing as a young man to be too upright. This book is not for the 25 or above handicapper simply because the numerous descriptions and examples would probably hurt a very-high handicapper rather than help him/her. But for those below a 25, who are familiar with golf lingo, this book provides excellent structure for working on one's swing. As a boy, back in the 60's, the first golf book I ever read was Hogan's "Power Golf". Soon after I read his "Five Lessons." Both are classics. The later, revered as an almost "holy" exposition of swing thought. Since that time, I've read most all the available golf texts. I have never failed to learn something from all of them, but I never felt that any of them were as seminal as either of Hogan's. Nick Price has now taken the Hogan torch. In "The Swing" he has written the next absolute classic. This book IS seminal and a must read for any golfer at any skill level. Price relates swing theory in a readable and understandable way while creating in the mind of the reader the belief that a consistent and functional golf swing is attainable. Get it, read it, live it! You will be a better golfer for having done so Average Rating: |

Not since Ben Hogan in the 1950s has a dominant player so thoroughly addressed golf's central enigma: how to develop and repeat an effective swing, the only way any player can hope to truly improve.In the early '90s, after years of struggle and determination, Nick Price emerged as the world's finest golfer,"striking the ball," as Ben Crenshaw observed, "as well as anyone since Ben Hogan or Byron Nelson... |

Nike Tour 2 Mixed Recycled B-Grade Experienced Professional Golf Balls (60-Ball Pack)ReviewsA few are x-outs, but the rest seem good. One ball is marked as 2000 US Open Championship so if it's correct, these could be some really old balls. They have small imperfections but it doesn't seem to affect the driving performance. what is there for me to say bad about these. I am not a great player, and these are not great balls. i can't tell the difference between these and much more expensive balls, so why not purchase a lot of them(as i lose a lot of them) on the cheap. i am sure by the time i go through all of these balls, i will have graduated to some higher quality ones. great for this beginner. Overall I'm satisfied with this purchase. The balls look like they were found on a golf course somewhere, cleaned and some possibly re-coated. Evidence indicates that mine came from Florida somewhere. (University of Florida logos, area codes and Florida business logos on some of them) Total Count Bag 1 3 Mint Condition (Perfect White, No Scuff Marks) 24 Fair-Good Condition (Slight Scuff Marks, Discoloration, Sharpee Marker) 6 Poor Condition (Bad Discoloration, Worn down coat, Bad Scuff marks) Bag 2 4 Mint Condition 27 Fair-Good 3 Poor Condition A perfect gift. We got them for my brother-in-law and he loves them. All the balls were in great shape, no problems with any of them. This is a great deal. The balls are very clean, mostly. Out of 60, I think maybe 5 were tarnished and had the slightest nicks on them. I separated the two packs that it comes in, so that I could use the better half during games and the other half for practice, but save for those 5, they ended up pretty similar in quality. I'll be using a bunch for pitching and putting practice soon. Having lost a lot of golf balls in my earlier days, I feel like I'm getting my investment back in this package. Who knows, maybe some of them were mine at some point! Ha ha, seriously, if you're still in the process of learning, chances are you lose 5 or more balls on a course. So if you don't want to spend $3 per ball, I highly recommend. Great value. Average Rating: |

Mid to high handicappers are often reluctant to buy high-quality golf balls because they know they'll lose a few during any given round. Enter this Nike bag of mixed, recycled B-grade balls, which lets average players play the best balls at a fraction of their original price... |

Titleist Mixed Recycled B-Grade Balls (60-Ball Pack)ReviewsOK but appear to have been coated with some type of clear coating which is a bit sticky. I would not recommend them. I'm an avid golfer and i cant foresee myself spending hundreds of dollars on expensive brand names balls. I think recycled balls are just as good. And i dont know how else you can beat 120 Titleist balls for $50 bucks! Great purchase. Amazon is the best! Golf balls arrived in just 3 days. Husband is a newbie to golfing - so I figured this item would be a good idea. When we opened the package- the golf balls all looked brand new. Husband was very pleased. I have been using "recycled" balls from Amazon for over a year. I must say this one is not as good as Nike and Calleway. There are so many balls that are in poor shape. DOn't save a few bucks her - go for Nike or Calleway. The balls themselves are decent quality. But the issue was not the quality of the balls but the amount. I ordered a 60 ball pack and was shipped a 30 ball pack. The great folks at Amazon apologized, even though they had nothing to do with what was shipped, and refunded half the money to me since I was shipped half the amount that was ordered. 5 stars for the people at Amazon.

Nitro Tour Distance Lady Pink Golf Balls (15 Ball Pack)ReviewsThese balls are NOT pink. They are some kind of weird orange. They are also easily cut, scored or damaged. I will not buy more of this product. This ball compares with the Bridgestone E6. Nice firm outer cover instead of the soft mush of the Noodles. Great bounce coming off the face of the club. Price is 1/3 of balls such as E6 and SoLo (can't find anymore). Just wish that white was more available, but for the distance and feel and price, I'll play colors. These golf balls could be used in the material for paving highways, they are that hard. My wife uses them only on water holes, hoping to be done with them as quickly as possible. Bought these balls for my wife and she loved them.Ball went at least an extra 50 yards and helped boost her confidence when she was hitting with the boys from work.Great ball for a great price.

Titleist Pro V1 AAA Recycled Golf Balls (36 Pack)ReviewsI would recommend that everyone buy these golf balls -- I got balls very quick and they were outstanding. golf ball-r-us is a very nice company to work with. I would order from them again The quality of the balls in this package were not AAA in my opinion, more like "B". Several of the balls had scuff marks from trees and/or cart paths. Also, the overall look of the golf balls were very gray or dingy. Makes me think they were in the water a long time. I wouldn't order them again. These Titleist balls are those that are lost on the courses but then salvaged by the greens keepers or others. They are cleaned up and then packaged. Overall I am quite pleased with them. Since they are from different sleeves, you might need to mark your balls before you use them in a group. I would recommend the use of these balls. I ordered these expecting some serious scuffing and some X-Outs. The details while orderings was a little vage. But I figured it would be worth it at this price. What I got was 36 balls with practicaly no scuffs and no x-out balls. I got 13 pro v1 392's and 23 Pro v1's. Some had logo's and a few players marking but most was perfect.GREAT VALUE. Thanks I ordered AAA some of balls were questionable ... would never order less than AAA. Average Rating: |

Titleist Pro V1 RecycledGolf Balls in excellent condition, recycled to the highest standards possible. Exceptional playability. 3 dozen included in clam shell case. |
It is believed to have originated from an ancient game called chole, supposedly meaning, “ball”. Most of the people believe that Scotland is where Golf was born, probably out of a banned 15th century game called ‘gowf’. However many folklore relate it as an acronym for Gentlemen Only, Ladies Forbidden. The modern Golf came into being again in Scotland in the later half of the 19th century. Later on over the 20th century golf saw a facelift with a variety of golf equipments and techniques being invented.
Golf has woven itself in the social fabric as the game of the elite and high-end businessmen. Would you believe if we tell you that many US business school add golf to their management curriculum? It is a game of social status. After all one has to shell out huge sums on latest equipment, the right clothing and the green fees of the golf course. This has still kept golf away from the reach of common man. Nevertheless, the massive popularity of the game can be judged by the very fact that there are over 32,000 golf courses in the world!
Players move around the golf course with their caddies who manage the equipments of the players. The player whose ball is farthest from the hole gets a chance to play first when each individual player has had his chance of playing the ball once. The game is won by the person or the team that scores the maximum holes. It can be played by teams in foursome or by individuals. A very interesting term taking rounds in the golfing community is “Golf handicap.” This is the score of proficiency of different players, which affect their net score, thus allowing players of different capacities to play against each other.
People say golf is not played by rules but by etiquettes. However, there are a few laid down rules. The most basic are "play the ball as it lies", "play the course as you find it", and "if you cannot do either, do what is fair". A Golfer can play several types of shots such as tee shot, fairway shot, bunker shot, puts, pitch, flop, chip and a golf swing. A golf swing is the most complex shot that involves perfect coordination of the complete anatomy of the player.
Over the years golf equipment has grown in term of sophistication and technique. From golf balls, tees and clubs to golf carts, bags shoes, etc; it is a whole big market out there. The British officers first started professional golf. Now there are several Golf tournaments like PGA tour, Ryder Cup, U.S. Open etc. In this time and age when pollution is a big problem, the vast golf courses prove to be the breathing lungs of cities and towns where they are located. They nurture the local flora and fauna and provide a welcome respite from the concrete jungle.
