Here’s the column by Golf Girl Patricia Hannigan
Golf balls have been getting a bit of a bad rap lately.
No less an authority than Jack Nicklaus recently stated that he felt golf balls were largely to blame for slow play. That’s problematic when you consider that slow play… for many golfers and golf fans… is the scourge of the game. Or at least the scourge du jour.
The tiny, dimpled orbs have also taken some flak due to environmental concerns. Probably because it takes hundreds of years for a golf ball to decompose naturally… and because some 300 million of them are lost in the US each year. There are however, some innovative solutions to that problem.
Then there are all the stories about the errant golf balls that make calamitous contact with people and possessions. Certainly those anecdotes do nothing to enhance the reputation of that much maligned white sphere we chase around our verdant courses.
