Well.........Funny thing about the "GREEN" ball that I rec'd as a "bonus"....the day before St. Patrick's Day. Today (March 18th), I first began to use my new green ball on the tee @ Hole #1 - St. Andrew's. OK, I've played this course at least 50 times...have a 72.3 avg...not great, but not terrible. I believe my stats say my "driving" is around 85% avg...often times, I have a 100% driving avg. at the end of 18 holes on most courses I play. I notice a SIGN popped up to basically WARN me...I only have (1) "green ball"...and it encourages me to "buy" more of them. So, for now, I realize I have to play cautiously with this (1) green ball...like, do NOT hit it into the WATER....just don't lose it. I had wind at my back on Tee #1....hit the ball "accurately"......................so, what happens?...it goes way off to the RIGHT into the water canal...LOST! Couldn't believe it! Over 50 times I've hit that shot on St. Andrews and NEVER hit my ball into the water on the right....though, I have hit the water canal several times (when the pin placement was just on the other side of the water canal).......I would be interest to learn IF any other members LOST their new "green ball" that they were awarded on St. Patrick's Day.....similar to HOW I lost mine. Hey, I don't mean to complain here...I'm really loving this website!!! Just thought this is a bit ODD.....like, maybe someone wants to sell me some more "green balls"....just saying.
Yes me,
Found the green ball in my bag, started a 9 hole at SA, 25mph tailwind, driven with this tailwind before and stopped about 10yds or so from the canal, but this time ran on and on and on and on, 345 yards, only ever driven this far once before after a bounce on a roadway, but this time, plink, into the water, what a load of crop.
Don't like green balls anyway, I can't find em in the long fairway grass.
