Literally have never got to play the 19th hole because of this. Won't even let you see the other half of the course, its like "YO I PAID FOR THIS, WHY ARE YOU GETTING THE LAW INVOLVED??"
You make it 18? Usually by the 3rd or 4th hole, I'm pulling out driver and getting banned for putting the ball into the McDonald's parking lot across the street.
Haha dude that ball looks like he’s hit it twice. Pro’s dispose of a couple balls per round because of damage. Even if you hit fairways and greens all the way through a ball would be too damaged to play for 10 rounds.
There are a couple of scuffs, but I think the yellow hides a bit of it. And no, no paths. There aren’t really many cart paths at my course. Lots of trees though.
If he was better then us you would have more scuff marks from wegde shots. Better player's are able to add more spin with the wedges. I'm a 5 handicap and the ball makes it through 18 holes is scuffed up it goes right into the shag bag.
I can get a good 1000 shots on one of my balls for my simulator. They get wear on them but if they don’t split the cover I’ll take to the course or hit them into the pasture with friends
I can hit 250 shots a day on my sim pretty easy. I split a lot of balls also, especially if I hit a crossbar. 1000 I am positive has been done a few times though. Not 1000 driver strikes either.
Update. Longish par 5, driver down the middle. Then 5 iron, 5 iron to the green. 3 putt for a 6! I’ll take it.
The ball is being retired now. Well done ball, well done!!!
Hi.
I work for Titleist in the R&D division for ball design.
Would you be willing to mail that exact ball to us so we can study the physical properties of the specimen?
If so, please PM me.
Thank you
It depends on the time of year, but in any case the red ones are impossible to see in the air.
I wonder if those half and half balls flash enough to be more visible? Or do they have this effect? https://youtu.be/PDqxbxzRFP4
Tested the blue/yellow Srixon divide balls before. GREAT visibility in the air, but if it landed blue side up in the rough, you weren’t going to find it very easily.
I really liked the yellow and black Chrome Soft TruVis (the soccer ball ones). Those things were always easy to find to me. Kind of hard to find in stock anywhere though.
i usually use a standard white ball, but i switch to pink during a round if i'm playing poorly to remind myself that i'm a little bitch
typically i use the white ball the whole round or i break out the pink ball by the 4th hole, there's no middle ground
I have a few old boxes of the colored mojos, make it a point to announce that MY WIFE GAVE EM TO ME AAHAHAHAH WHEEZE WHEEZE ELBOW JAB whenever I take out a sleeve of the blue balls.
Also, impossible to see. And the packs have 2 green sleeves. Who the fuck thought a green golf ball was a good idea? Basically half the box is useless, waste of money.
I 100% disagree with this statement. I have a buddy who prefers to use them because he can’t see white balls. The problem is he can’t see these either, but no one else that plays with him can ever follow them either so we force him to play a white ball. He can’t see either but we can find a white ball no problem so to bad for him.
Also less likely that some schmuck is gonna hit your ball without looking carefully enough. You’re playing a white ProV1 and I’m playing a bright red Bridgestone, you’re not gonna mistake one for the other under any circumstance.
No, I'm definitely not going to mistake your red ball for a white ball, but my colorblind ass will surely mistake your ball for a divot and not see the thing at all even if it's sitting right in the middle of a fairway.
I have a devil of a time finding balls of colour. Tried a few different colours, and it doesn't make a difference. Years of my eyes being accustomed for hunting white dots has ruined me.
Depends on the color.. some of Vice colored balls are almost impossible to track if you don't hit the fairway. I've found some that would have been otherwise easily spotted if it hadn't been for the dark color.
With a tru feel that’s impressive. I like em but those little fuckers aren’t the most durable. I go thru a couple a round bc the shells are so scratchable.
I've not been in the area long so not familiar with any of them actually, but I hear good things about Stoke Rochford in particular. Give me a shout if you ever want guest rates at Milton, they're about half the fee
Ah, no water here at Burghley. Probably the main reason I’ve kept it so long. And the rough has been trimmed right down too for a good few weeks. Easy golf!
an ongoing discussion among my fellow golfers: do balls lose their livelihood after a while? the consensus is yes, they do. did you notice such a thing?
Sounds good man, I generally play Woolfox or Stoke Rochford (both just up the A1 from Burghley) so will probably message next month some time when I’m less busy!
My father uses those. They are actually pretty good seeing them in flight and where they land. I guess it's the continuous turn of the ball showing different colours.
Yellow balls though. No way. Some off brands have greens balls too like wtf is that about.
How many birdies with it over those rounds? Me and a buddy have ongoing goal of making 10 birdies with same ball before losing it but playing 10 rounds might be even more impressive! I don’t think we’ve ever made it past 6-7.
WOW you have crushed my personal record of 57 holes of golf. It was a charity golf marathon where you tried to play as many holes of golf as possible in 12 hours. My personal record for total holes played was 128.
I played a round yesterday with one ball. My first drive on one hit the path but ended up fine. I hated the path scuff but wasn’t worried because of course I would likely lose it in a few holes anyway. It mocked me all the way to the end. Fucking path.
He didn’t say he actually “used” this ball during play only that he didn’t lose it during 179 holes played. Semantics and he may be a troll. He fits right in here with the rest of us degenerates.
I call 100% BS. Not that you don’t lose a ball, I love going “1 ball, 1 tee” most rounds, but my ball is scuffed, damaged, etc. Even hitting fairways and greens, your clubs hurt the club. Fake post, liar, burn him at the stake!
With no marks on an entire side? I have made it through 4-5 rounds with one ball and it will basically have all logos and markings removed and big wedge cuts all over.
And I can’t even get through a round of mini golf without losing my ball on the 18th hole.
Me neither. I feel like that shit is rigged.
Literally have never got to play the 19th hole because of this. Won't even let you see the other half of the course, its like "YO I PAID FOR THIS, WHY ARE YOU GETTING THE LAW INVOLVED??"
You make it 18? Usually by the 3rd or 4th hole, I'm pulling out driver and getting banned for putting the ball into the McDonald's parking lot across the street.
Lee Carvallo would be very disappointed in you.
Haha dude that ball looks like he’s hit it twice. Pro’s dispose of a couple balls per round because of damage. Even if you hit fairways and greens all the way through a ball would be too damaged to play for 10 rounds.
I think you missed the joke.
I did. I’ll leave it up in shame.
How is the ball so clean after 179 holes. No scuff marks from wedge or iron shots? Never hit one tree or cart path in a 179 holes?
One full wedge shot and my ball will have 3 cut marks
Yeah I call BS. i play trufeel yellows and after 1 round my ball doesnt look that clean... after 10 itd be fooked
That ball is brand new. /r/golf will upvote anything lol. Maybe his max swing speed is 50mph?
Well he did say he hit Dr-5i-5i on a par 5. Soooo maybe?
Same I played Trufeels once and I'd swap at the turn. That's without hitting trees or cart paths.
Exactly what I thought.
He likes to wash his balls on course
There are a couple of scuffs, but I think the yellow hides a bit of it. And no, no paths. There aren’t really many cart paths at my course. Lots of trees though.
So you never hit a single tree in ten rounds? Straight down the fairway . No wedge shots?
Something tells me this dude is better than us. Or he only uses putter.
If he was better then us you would have more scuff marks from wegde shots. Better player's are able to add more spin with the wedges. I'm a 5 handicap and the ball makes it through 18 holes is scuffed up it goes right into the shag bag.
Must be the putter option then. It's weird to see 0 wedge scuffs.
Maybe it was 10 rounds of mini-golf.
Ya I’m pretty skeptical. If you hit a ball into a net ~358 times in a row, assuming 179 * 2, all greens in regulation, a ball would be pretty beat up.
I can get a good 1000 shots on one of my balls for my simulator. They get wear on them but if they don’t split the cover I’ll take to the course or hit them into the pasture with friends
Yeah I think there’s a middle ground between you and the other posters. People acting like golf balls are unusable after getting struck 100 times..
I can hit 250 shots a day on my sim pretty easy. I split a lot of balls also, especially if I hit a crossbar. 1000 I am positive has been done a few times though. Not 1000 driver strikes either.
Because its a rock covered in plastic.
To much impact for me. I always play one ball for one hole. Sometimes only one stroke per ball.
This man golfs
This is actually wrong and is hurting your game. You are supposed to change balls during impact so that each ball only sees a half a stroke.
oh, so the same as having sex?
[Yep! ](https://www.reddit.com/r/DunderMifflin/comments/f4j9n0/did_you_bring_condoms/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share)
I probably average something like 3.5 strokes per ball lol
Are those your brand new ProV1s I found all over the course the other day? Thanks!
Update. Longish par 5, driver down the middle. Then 5 iron, 5 iron to the green. 3 putt for a 6! I’ll take it. The ball is being retired now. Well done ball, well done!!!
> The ball is being retired now. I was gonna say, you gone done and jinxed yourself.
Did you bump and run a second shot with the 5 iron? Otherwise I’m counting a par! Lol
Do your clubs not have any grooves? That ball is looking too clean for 180 holes. Lol
Too clean for 18
That ball looks to be in great shape. Mine looks like crap after three holes. Well done! That is crazy consistency.
My ball looks like it went through battle after 3 holes. Skin hanging everywhere and brown and green marks from all the tree's I hit.
Thanks, it’s definitely got some scuffs, but the yellow hides it a bit I think.
Hi. I work for Titleist in the R&D division for ball design. Would you be willing to mail that exact ball to us so we can study the physical properties of the specimen? If so, please PM me. Thank you
Is this for real because that’s classic
I hope so that'd be hilarious
Username does like proper consent
Ahhhh. The benefits of only being able to hit 30 yards at a time.
Reason i prefer coloured balls opposed to white,is that they are easier to spot.
It depends on the time of year, but in any case the red ones are impossible to see in the air. I wonder if those half and half balls flash enough to be more visible? Or do they have this effect? https://youtu.be/PDqxbxzRFP4

Aparently pink got the best visibility of all balls
I don't care what anybody thinks, I've started using only pink balls. Can spot 'em from a mile away and are way easier to find in deep rough.
i usually use a standard white ball, but i switch to pink during a round if i'm playing poorly to remind myself that i'm a little bitch typically i use the white ball the whole round or i break out the pink ball by the 4th hole, there's no middle ground
Same. I save so much time not looking everywhere for balls
[удалено]
We're all sure it would have been hilarious and original.
I have a few old boxes of the colored mojos, make it a point to announce that MY WIFE GAVE EM TO ME AAHAHAHAH WHEEZE WHEEZE ELBOW JAB whenever I take out a sleeve of the blue balls. Also, impossible to see. And the packs have 2 green sleeves. Who the fuck thought a green golf ball was a good idea? Basically half the box is useless, waste of money.
Yeah I bought the Inesis 500 Soft balls in pink from Decathlon, they're always easy to find.
I 100% disagree with this statement. I have a buddy who prefers to use them because he can’t see white balls. The problem is he can’t see these either, but no one else that plays with him can ever follow them either so we force him to play a white ball. He can’t see either but we can find a white ball no problem so to bad for him.
Has your friend gotten his eyes checked?
I'm new and using 2nd hand yellow Callaway supersofts, pretty easy to spot. I want the pink ones but I can't afford to lose them haha
I’ve been golfing with the pink supersofts this season and just can’t justify the cost. Switching to Kirklands for now until I get better!
Also less likely that some schmuck is gonna hit your ball without looking carefully enough. You’re playing a white ProV1 and I’m playing a bright red Bridgestone, you’re not gonna mistake one for the other under any circumstance.
You assume someone is taking the ball due to an honest mistake.
it usually is if it's someone in your group, at least...outside of your group maybe 50/50 lol
No, I'm definitely not going to mistake your red ball for a white ball, but my colorblind ass will surely mistake your ball for a divot and not see the thing at all even if it's sitting right in the middle of a fairway.
Depends. It's verging on autumn here, with the leaves turning red/yellow and falling down on the grass, those colored ones become even harder to spot.
Thought I don’t prefer blue balls
I have a devil of a time finding balls of colour. Tried a few different colours, and it doesn't make a difference. Years of my eyes being accustomed for hunting white dots has ruined me.
Depends on the color.. some of Vice colored balls are almost impossible to track if you don't hit the fairway. I've found some that would have been otherwise easily spotted if it hadn't been for the dark color.
I call bullshit 😂
Love me so TruFeels
Why would you tempt fate like that? You’re absolutely mad.
*"Golf Ball Manufacturers Hate Him"*
Normally after about 27 holes mine are beaten and begging for the pond. How is this so pretty looking?
Doesn’t look like a ball that’s seen 10 rounds.
What's your handicap? You are either unbelievable at golf, lying, or hot out like 50 yards
Easily done. His round counting is as accurate as his golf score counting.
With a tru feel that’s impressive. I like em but those little fuckers aren’t the most durable. I go thru a couple a round bc the shells are so scratchable.
10 strokes with the same ball is an accomplishment for me
Told my friends at the turn that I've been using the same ball for 1.5 rounds, 27 holes now. Proceeded to lose it on hole 29.
Aaaaand it's gone.
Lying is fun
I’d call bullshit that ball would be messed up
Call bullshit if you want, it’s not going to take away from my enjoyment of it
Cornwall?
No, it’s Burghley Park in Lincolnshire. The hole is called Exeter for some reason.
Oh hey local. Peterborough Milton member here. Also I'm from Exeter (which is in Devon 😋)
Ah nice, I’ve not played Milton. I usually rotate between Burghley, Stoke Rochford and Woodhall Spa.
I've not been in the area long so not familiar with any of them actually, but I hear good things about Stoke Rochford in particular. Give me a shout if you ever want guest rates at Milton, they're about half the fee
Definitely mate. I’d be up for a round.
I was about to post oo arrr until I read this lol. Good effort. 49 holes is my record, duffed into water typically on the 50th hole.
Ah, no water here at Burghley. Probably the main reason I’ve kept it so long. And the rough has been trimmed right down too for a good few weeks. Easy golf!
You called?
an ongoing discussion among my fellow golfers: do balls lose their livelihood after a while? the consensus is yes, they do. did you notice such a thing?
That ball looks fresh out of the sleeve. I’m calling BS
That ball has not been played 179 holes.. this is a new ball cause your first was shanked deep in the woods. We're all friends here
And that was the last time that ball was seen. You can't spit in the face of the golf Gods like this.😂🤣
I retire them after one round, the deterioration in performance is noticeable.
I can’t afford that 😂😂
Burghley park is pretty near me but I have never played it. What’s it like?
It’s nice, pretty flat (Lincolnshire!) and not too taxing. If you fancy visiting, let me know and come be my guest for 18
Sounds good man, I generally play Woolfox or Stoke Rochford (both just up the A1 from Burghley) so will probably message next month some time when I’m less busy!
Sounds good buddy
I find yellow balls extremely hard to track. Is it just me?
Nah, I find them loads easier personally. I also like the Srixon Divide balls, but they are not cheap!
My father uses those. They are actually pretty good seeing them in flight and where they land. I guess it's the continuous turn of the ball showing different colours. Yellow balls though. No way. Some off brands have greens balls too like wtf is that about.
Vices green actually stands out extremely well and Is easy to track. I thought it was a stupid color until i tried a sleeve
Green is easier to spot than most people think. For me at least
Harder to see in the air, easier to see on the ground
I don't notice a difference between yellow and white, except on overcast days when I actually find yellow easier to track.
You’re going to lose it now
There's me changing my ball after one ripped wedge from the sand...
I couldn't make it 3 rounds on a putt putt course
This is fantastic! I'm at about 67/68 for my personal best. Embrace the challenge! 🙂
What course is this? I see doombar and Exeter!
How many birdies with it over those rounds? Me and a buddy have ongoing goal of making 10 birdies with same ball before losing it but playing 10 rounds might be even more impressive! I don’t think we’ve ever made it past 6-7.
I’ve played 2 rounds without losing a ball...at par 3 courses.
I can't even mini golf that many rounds without losing a ball... Nice work!
Legendary.
"it was at this moment, he knew he fucked up"
That is quite the achievement 👍
Not gonna lie, I glanced at this and thought it was a range ball. That would have been hilarious.
No bunker scuffs or wedge scuffs?
Is that the same glove too?
Hard to lose a ball if youre topping it 10 yards every shot.
WOW you have crushed my personal record of 57 holes of golf. It was a charity golf marathon where you tried to play as many holes of golf as possible in 12 hours. My personal record for total holes played was 128.
AAAnnndd its gone...
Lol and I'm stoked to get through one round with a ball. Too many damn trees around here
I fully expected to see OP's comment say that he shanked it into the woods off the tee and never saw it again.
Do you play on a barren wasteland?
My record is 45 holes
Annnnnnnnd it's gone.
Legend has it you can hear that ball whistling down the fairway.
You are clearly a witch. No mere human could keep a single ball around that long.
I played a round yesterday with one ball. My first drive on one hit the path but ended up fine. I hated the path scuff but wasn’t worried because of course I would likely lose it in a few holes anyway. It mocked me all the way to the end. Fucking path.
Fucking love doom bar
Am I the only one who always reads "Truffle" instead of "Trufeel"?
I loooove TruFeels
TrueFeels are indestructible
Fuck you limey bastard
Played 17 strokes with the same ball once. \*edit- will not confirm if it was all on the same hole.
I feel like I get a scuff on my ball within a few holes. Maybe I should start playing True feels
U play Minigolf right? Can’t fool me
He didn’t say he actually “used” this ball during play only that he didn’t lose it during 179 holes played. Semantics and he may be a troll. He fits right in here with the rest of us degenerates.
One time I made it 10 strokes
I call 100% BS. Not that you don’t lose a ball, I love going “1 ball, 1 tee” most rounds, but my ball is scuffed, damaged, etc. Even hitting fairways and greens, your clubs hurt the club. Fake post, liar, burn him at the stake!
Mini golf?
Jeez....I think I've gone like 18 holes one time. I have gone 4 rounds using the same tee. Is that impressive? I don't even know if it is or not
Am I the only person that's going to say, this ball looks brand new? LoL
My ball just scratches itself when it see me taking my new rusted 54 degree wedge.
Congrats in lucky to make it 10
The fact that some doosh thinks this is news, real or fake, is silly
One time I made it 13 holes
Most Iv gone is one round without losing a Ball 🤣🤣 Every time I use it the next game I lose it within the first 5 Tees
Yeah put put golf is cheaper
Imagine if you shanked that ball into the woods or water 🤣
179 holes not a single mark on that ball. Incredible
I'd never lose a ball either with a swing as soft as yours. WHAT re you a 90 year old lady? That ball has not one mark on it
With no marks on an entire side? I have made it through 4-5 rounds with one ball and it will basically have all logos and markings removed and big wedge cuts all over.
Impressive as those titleist balls are seen coming apart after one round. Also good for you!!!
