   I started using Nike balls years ago, now I am using my old free Dove balls. I don't play hardly at all anymore so it doesn't matter. The game to me has become a total joke with more advertisement than excitement. This used to be fun and hoots with friends, not anymore. With the ridiculous scores some are shooting I don't understand why they even continue. Closest to real golf?? (NOT). A pay to play computer game?? (YES).

   OK trolls let me have it. I'm not in your radar.

  I would but you already made the attempt to derail this conversation with your whiny, out of place comments.  This is an adult discussion if you haven't noticed and I happen to be interested in what the other guys think about it. 

  Moving on.

  Then why is the topic all about the removal of Nike balls?  Removing them would make the game more realistic?  

   

  You apparently missed the point. Take away that ability to stick a 3W because the ball is so good and the game gets closer to realistic, not that it's ever going to get totally there. Oddly enough, that exact same ball argument as it relates to distance is getting tossed around by real golfers.

  USGA 

  Been due far too long. Would have thought the major clubs would have pushed for it lot earlier. Increasing real estate every few years seems to be an expensive road.

  And let's be honest. While they're decent balls, it's simply the characteristics of the balls we get used to. Those characteristics can be slapped on to any name whether it's Nike, Callaway, or Bridgestone? ;-)  

  Agreed.

  You forgot Titleist ....  my choice in the real world , & considering the amount of televised adds during The Masters coverage , that'd be my guess.

    YJ get off of my A$$ you total jerk off. You made the comment before me and I simply added to it. You are beyond a doubt the biggest troll on WGT  and need to settle down. I'm a Yankee myself and you are one of the worst examples. This may get me jerked from WGT but you had it coming. Move On.
