In my never-ending quest to improve my golf game, one of the strategies I pursue is the elimination of variables. A golf variable is something like choice of golf club for a given distance, positioning of feet for a swing, grip on the club, and…choice of golf ball. Now I know some players who think of golf balls as some sort of precious commodity. I’ve seen them looking for a lost ball for 10 minutes on the course, buying floating golf balls so they are not lost in a shot over a water hazard, and, worst of all, picking up random junk balls of low quality left behind by another golfer.
