I think I’m on to something here. First of all, how many of you are sick and tired of losing your ball but swear that you watched exactly where your ball landed? It’s ridiculous, no? It’s not like the local track is going to pay to have field marshals out there. How can I cut down on the balls I lose?

Well, there’s a term we use at Golfstinks called the Pro Advantage Factor or PAF for short. It basically means pro’s have an advantage when it comes to errant shots because the spectators or marshals usually find the ball. You see, I want to equal that playing ground and give us average hacks an opportunity to shave some strokes.

This is why I think we should have ball sniffing dogs on the course. There are so many good reasons I don’t know where to begin. Let’s see, for starters we can train rescue dogs. They deserve a good home and a chance at life. Dog wages are a lot cheaper than human wages and they rarely talk back. Canines do their job and are happy to do it. The piles of doggy poo can be used as fertilizer. Not to mention it would be pretty damn cool to have a dog sniff out your ball. I would probably golf more if that was available to me. 

How realistic is this? Well, I’m really not sure. People scoffed at Edison when he presented the lightbulb. The Wright brothers took their share of disses. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not re-inventing the wheel but I’m bringing two things together that I think would compliment each other. Imagine actually finding your ball after 95% of your shots (the other 5%…well, nothing we can do about water). Just my $0.02…


Hit’em long…yell FORE!!!
