I was oblivious to this fact during my first two years of playing, but then during a discussion I was reading about a comparison of the different balls available in 2010, I learned that you’ll actually see a difference on the green based on what balls you’re using! So here’s the deal: any balls known […]

By • Updated: Nov 6th, 2011 • Category: 2009 - Golden Tee LIVE 2010, Features, Golden Tee golf balls, Golden Tee golf clubs

For most of my 2+ year Golden Tee career, I’ve had the pleasure of playing almost every round with the “old birds” — the 2005 hybrid set.  These clubs are preferred by a large percentage of players because they provide a nice set of distance gaps and have a lob wedge, and in general the […]
