Fellow hacks, we must must properly care for our balls during the cold months. It is important that our balls receive the T.L.C. they deserve. Our balls are a vital part to our success…on the course, of course. Get your mind out of the gutter! A couple of important things to remember.
- Keep them clean – Dirt that stays on golf balls for longer periods of time will be harder to clean.
- Keep them at room temp – Too cold, no good. Too hot, no good. Room temp, just right! Balls stay better in proper conditions…like I had to tell you that.
Now that the golf season has ended, what else can I do with all these golf balls? Well, besides some indoor putting, I thought I would go over other uses for golf balls that you might not know. If you have a green thumb and care about the environment you can use old golf balls on the bottom of planters and flower pots. The spacing between them should give you good drainage.
If you are a handyman and golf fanatic it is fairly easy to make these into drawer and cabinet knobs. If your significant other thinks golf ball accents and motifs are too much you can tone it down a bit and keep it to your garage or work bench drawers.
You know those knots in your mid or upper back? Well, golf balls could help. What you need:
- a golf ball
- a wall
- you
Place the golf ball on the problem area between your back and the wall. Apply some pressure by leaning against the ball and move in circular fashion. If this is too intense you may substitute a tennis ball…Sally. PLEASE NOTE: I am not a medical professional and not responsible for any injury you may inflict on yourself.
If you know of any other uses for golf balls please share them.
Hit’ em long…yell FORE!
