Would I play more if we got one extra set of balls that offered an option.? Yes I probrably would. Lets look at balls, I am sure I read once that different balls behave differently when struck, also the way they are dimpled has an effect on the way they fly, So, take this analogy further, a beginner that has access to either another set of free balls with a colour option may either enjoy an improvement in performance or find it detremental to his or her game. two sets of very different balls would allow experimenting between both sets of starter clubs and balls. Could colour cause differences in the flight of the ball? Would the way the colour is applied and the dimples on the ball affect game play? It ouwl just add an extra freisant to the game and would inevitably give greater satisfaction to discover the right combination of club and ball. Perhaps there should be an open driving range for players to test club/ball combinations before purchase? There are options, no one wants to pay money to play an online game unless there is a way of testing a potential purchase. Would you buy a car without first test driving it? NO, therefore one should be able to test drive combinations of club and ball before purchase. Add a second set of beginners balls and a driving range/testing senario and players can purchase and play with confidence.
Oh the lost ball went in the water off the fifth after hitting the tree stump left behind after it blew down in a storm last winter.
