I use this rule. Don't play exspensive ball on water courses. Nike ball, Oakmont, Bethpage & St.Andrew's back 9, Callaway ball, Oakmont, Bethpage, St. Andrew's & then Royal George. Srixon I can stand to lose to water, but I rather hit it out. I use that on Congressional and the rest of the courses, it's the main ball I use. And what so ever, DON"T PLAY CLOSET TO THE HOLE rounds with water on the course with Most exspensive ball. Try this, ball will last longer.
