Trevor made the golf team for Reed High a few weeks ago and we picked him up some new clubs. Since we were going to be playing I needed to restock my golf ball reserves. The golf shop was running a special where you got a free sleeve if you bought a box of a dozen. Sweet, except the fact that it excluded only Titleist. Evidently Titleist dictates they can’t do any promotions except the Titleist approved ones, and will revoke their license for any Titleist product if they are found violating their laws. THAT SUCKS.

A few weeks earlier I had received an ad in my email for Callaway’s new TOUR i & TOUR ix balls. I picked these up instead and got the free sleeve. Well I wish I had just paid for the Titleist because the cover on the TOUR ix are so thin they scuff up with regular iron play after 4-6 holes. I go through 3 or 4 a round just because of wear and tear. For a $40 box you would think they would be a little more durable.

I’ll stick with my ProV1x’s where a ball lasts the entire round.

    Can I shoot scratch if I change balls every three to four holes?

    If that were true I would be switching every hole. Sadly no.
