Here’s that strange looking ProV1 I mentioned in this post. The first thing I noticed was how terrible the “prov1 392” is. Also that particular print is not on the seam where it’s supposed to be. The dimples look a little strange to me. Perhaps they are a little shallower?
I wonder if this is one of the aforementioned “counterfeit” balls. Or is this one of those refurbished ones that they fish out of the lake?
I am definitely a fan of “The Big Break” series. It’s down to 3 ladies now. Tonight’s episode saw all but but Cindy “throwing up on themselves.”
I love that statement. That is what Chris DiMarco said about his back 9 in the 3rd round of The Masters.
Cindy has proven throughout the show that she has the guts to last. She’s the shortest knocker of the bunch, but has the best short game and the best control of her nerves.
Liz had to make a comeback 7 footer to stay tied with “blondie” Danielle. She made every putt she looked at, until that one. So Liz is gone. Adios.
And then there were 3.
My prediction at this point is for Cindy to win in a battle with Blondie in the finals.
Could this ball be a fake?
Did you watch the movie Catch Me If You Can? In that movie which is based on a true story. A guy (Leonardo Dicaprio) fakes and forges his way into millions counterfeiting checks. He poses as an airline pilot and flies 2 million miles. He poses as a doctor etc…. He eventually got caught by an FBI agent (Tom Hanks).
Apparently Titleist has caught a large retailer that has been selling COUNTERFEIT PROV1 balls!
I think I have found one of these counterfeit balls. Last week at my local club I found a bin of used ProV1’s. Some were the old kind that you could “seam up” and hit them longer, and some newer. But there was one in there that looked “wrong.” The print was thicker, and the “< ProV1 >” lettering was not on the seam. I’m going golfing there today so I’m going to try to find that ball and post a pic of it here.
In this post I have a pic of this year’s green jacket ceremony inside the Butler Cabin. I think it is interesting that you can see Bobby Jones in the background looking at the action. I wonder if he approves?
15 minutes after there is another green jacket ceremony on the practice green. Do they need two of these? I guess they do.
I’ve had the pleasure of having a caddie only a few times. One time I was at Burning Tree in DC. If you don’t know about Burning Tree I’ll have a review coming. If you do know about Burning Tree then “la dee da.”
So I’m in the midst of the round and I get to the green on a hole. I mark my ball, look over at my caddie who is looking straight at me. He’s about 10-15 feet from me. I toss him my ball for him to clean. The billionth of a second I tossed the ball he looked away. While the ball was in the air he turned back and WHACK. My Titleist hit him square on the nose.
I know it hurt bad. His eyes got very watery and you could tell is was “unhappy.” I felt terrible and I apologized profusely. He had to do the “It’s ok sir. No problem sir.” But I knew he’d rather give me a 4 letter laced tyrade.
Always make sure your caddie is ready when you toss him the ball.
