    The Balls

    Okay, so we’ve got the bag, we’ve got the shoes, and now you need some golf balls. No matter how good of a golfer you are, you have to have golf balls to play. But, there is some controversy out there over which balls are best.
    As with many things in golfing, it is really up to the golfer as to which balls are best for them. It’s all about what you expect out of the ball and how much money you are willing to spend on balls that may be potentially lost in the woods or at the bottom of a lake.
    There are many golfers who have one brand and they stick to it. No matter what, they never use a different brand of golf ball. In fact, they will use no other ball and if they can’t get them then they are not going to go golfing. This may sound extreme, but there are some hard core golfers out there and everything has to be perfect.
    Now, it you’re new to golfing and you don’t want to spend a lot of money on your balls, then you should considered recycled balls. These balls have “been around” and they can be purchased in bulk. This is good because new golfers are going to be going through a lot of balls and you’re better off going the cheap route while you’re learning. And, more often than not, you’re going to have a few good name brand balls in that bag you purchase. You are going to be learning a lot about hitting the ball straight and you’re better off buying in bulk instead of watching a couple hundred dollars sink to the bottom of the lake on a golf course somewhere.
    As your skills grow and become stronger, then you can begin moving up to a better grade of ball. This does not mean you want to buy the most expensive balls you can find, but some that are a step above the used balls you have been practicing with. Remember; think about the price of the ball, your skill level and how much you are willing to lose while practicing.
    If you have a tendency to slice the ball or top the ball, then you are going to want to stick to the cheap recycled balls. While the ball does get a lot of spin, you are going to be gashing the ball with the club and they are not going to travel far. This means that you don’t want to necessarily stick with the used balls, but don’t invest in the top dollar balls just yet.
    Theoretically, the better you get and the more your skill level increases, the better balls you will want to try out. It’s also a good idea to try out different ball brands and see which ones you like best. You should also give a lot of thought to the type of course that you will be playing on when purchasing your golf balls.
