RIP - old faithful

Yesterday I lost a ball - nothing suprising in that I hear you cry (especially for those who've seen me play!).  However, I realised that it was brand new when I popped it from the sleeve after pitching into the water at the Donnington event and lost it yesterday.  It lasted for 4 1/2 rounds and after a bit of stats analysis that worked out at 81 holes and a remarkable 347 shots!

I realise that it may have degraded in performance, but frankly with me it's hard to tell.

Is this unusual?  Is anyone sad enough to know?

I don't have any of the balls that I used at Donnington, none of them were any good, so I chucked them.

No David, they are still sitting on my desk, because having read the logo it would be a shame to use them at all.

er.. yeah.

gotta be honest. i get rid of mine if it looks a little battered.

but 4.5 rounds? mate buy cheaper balls

I don't tend to cut them up, there's usually a large clod of earth/grass/mud/sand to cushion the blow beteween my club and the ball.

sorry, i was trying to say that after say 2 holes it looks knackered, i get rid of.

great comment tim, mine get cusioned on landing usually by a few million gallons of water in a well placed lake

as i'm playing you, you may well be in one. litterally

you know i'm kidding
