The Golf Balls Are The Important Things
When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when twenty-four hours in a day aren’t enough, remember the mayonnaise jar…….. And the beer.
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
You need to read through this information with great care, the situation and the results have alot of versions. So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. At the same time, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous “yes.”
The professor then produced 2 cans of soda from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.

“Now,” said the professor, as the laughter subsided, “I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things–your family, your children, your health, your friends, your favorite passions–things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. “The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, your car. The sand is everything else–the small stuff. “If you put the sand into the jar first,” he continued, “there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you’ll never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house, and fix the disposal. “Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.”
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the soda represented. The professor smiled. “I am glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there’s always room for a couple of sodas.”

Are expensive urethane golf balls e.g. Titleist Pro V1 worth it for the normal club golfer? If you don't have a handicap higher lower than ten or are playing super hard and fast greens does it make a difference in performance to use exepnsive 2,3 or four layer urethane golf balls instead of cheaper ones?

Received two separate boxes…one marked premium grade, the other one grade B. The premium balls are fine. But that is only twelve out of 36. The grade b balls are very disappointing. Most of them have marks or discolorations. Some have nicks that will change velocity and trajectory. I can live with the marks and discolorations, but not the nicks. So I have really received only about twenty out of thirty-six good quality recycled golf balls. Not recommending this particular listing because it says sold by this blog, when in reality it’s shop@Wyngate fulfilled by this blog. And when I contacted customer service about some tees that were supposed to be in the shipment as well and were not, this blog could not do anything but give me a refund. And I’ve been looking for these tees everywhere. I am satisfied with the refund, but I still want the tees and they will not send them. We will see how the balls play tomorrow…and I will get another review in…
NO they’re not “worth it” for any golfer. You need to pick the ball that's best for YOU and not just because the ball says it does something. I play to a low single digit handicap. I use balls that are twenty and twenty-five dollars per dozen. They're three piece balls from Callaway. Callaway HX diablo and HX Diablo Tour. I hit them as far as the ProV1x i used to play, and i spin them just as well. They also have a comparable feel and they save me twenty bucks per dozen. Just like clubs, if you have good fundamentals, you don't need all the hype. Grooves are only so deep. Most materials will get into them and grab if you strike properly
I have bought my fair share of recycled or ‘experienced’ golf balls and they have been all over the spectrum of quality from excellent to unplayable. Fortunately, these are of the excellent variety, and aside from some of the balls having corporate or event logos on them (roughly 10-15% of the balls) they’re flawless. I received no balls with scratches, dents, or scuffs, nor discolored balls. If you want to save roughly 50% vs. Retail on some great golf balls, these are a great option. Highly recommended.
My handicap is a shade higher than ten and I enjoy using the premium golf ball. It's been proven that distance balls are marginally longer than premium golf balls. The difference is around the greens. Distance balls don't have soft covers and that doesn't bode well for short game accuracy. I've seen it too often wihen I play golf with my brother who uses a ball that doesn't spin as much. His short game needs some work. I always say it's dependent on how good you want to be. That's why I use a premium ball and I don't pay an arm and a leg for them.
