I never gave it much thought after receiving the pop-up that I was entered in the draw, however when I received the email saying I had won I was pretty excited. Shortly after the emails, the little treasures showed up. Continue reading

My intent was to provide you, the reader, with enough information to make your golf ball selection easier. I believe that using the correct ball for your swing needs is vital to producing lower golf scores.

Regardless of how you select your golf ball, there are a couple of points you should keep in mind before putting your money on the counter. Continue reading
