The New Golf Ball A Field Test by Don Stewart
A humorous report on tests of a new larger lighter golf ball. The writer uses staged experiments with gin cocktails, caddies, and household items to compare old and new balls across wind, accuracy, loss rate, impact on people and animals, and even a pet hen. Outcomes favor the new ball in most tests, with noted oddities and a recurring lighthearted note on limitations.
