So, what I'm taking from this is that if I take a bunch of Epsom salt to the course, a lot of balls are going to float to the surface. I may never have to buy another ball...
Lmfao I'd be lying if I said it didn't cross my mind... It takes a literal fuckton of it even in the little Tupperware container to get them to float though so you'd basically need to harvest an asteroid to pay for it...
No, it's all based upon which ton you're using, the metric or standard/imperial ton. You can have a metric fuck ton and a standard fuck ton. I mean this isn't fucking rocket surgery!
I think a standard fuckton should work but it might actually require a metric fuckton if your balls are stubborn.
In all seriousness I filled the thing up with salt so much that the balls were just sitting on the salt and still more than halfway over the top of the water...it took about 15 minutes to get it all to dissolve.
I think it’s part of the Imperial measurement system.
Vader mentions dropping a fuckton of hurt on the rebels I believe. Of course they were all late for their tee times and backing up the course so totally understandable.

Now everyone after they hit a 50 yard banana slice out of bounds.
“Stupid ball I knew that one had a heavy spot. Give me another ball that one doesn’t count.”
Lmao that's the cursed part of the knowledge...if you don't find the heavy point and account for it, you'll never know if that lip-out was actually your fault...
Not much we can do about the 50 yard slices, but if you're trying to stick a pin on the short side by a bunker and end up on the beach, you're always gonna wonder if that was you or the ball...
I think back to that video of the guy rolling balls off of a stimpmeter, he has it set up to break perfectly in the hole, and four of them do...but when he drops a fifth one it doesn't quite take the break enough... Then the text comes up on the screen and says "don't focus too much on the result, sometimes they just don't fall..." and now I can't help but wonder if he just rolled the last ball off-balance and couldn't have known...
It definitely makes you think.
I love this comment. I have been learning a lot about concrete, decks and lawncare the last few months for the same reason. I think Reddit is trying to pump up the subreddit engagement.
I’m pretty sure I could build a deck at this point. Beams resting on metal brackets on concrete footers. 16” on center. Mind the span. Ledger board with metal flashing. Blocking is a must. Seems to be some disagreement on the use of deck tape but for the most part can’t hurt. Use the right connectors and nails/screws. Simpson strong tie
I think I'm about ready to do my own concrete project after the last month. Reddit knows I pause to read the headlines every time. More interesting than I would think. It's either golf or poor concrete next weekend.
You’d definitely enjoy reading Dave Pelz’ Short Game Bible if you haven’t already, he was a NASA physicist turned golf instructor / short game guru and his books are basically golf science. He has a putting Bible as well
Right! I thought they found only a rare ball was off-centered, maybe one per dozen depending on the make. I also though Bryson only found an occasional ball off-center, and just tossed those out. He did this by doing serval tests of each ball in the salt water. If different places keep coming up, then that is random and okay. Only a few had the same spot come up consistently.
I think MySpy does this by cutting the ball open to see if the inside material is off-center. Of course, a different test than the salt water test.
It’s the whole reason Titleist was founded, because they cut open other brands’ balls and they were remarkably inconsistent in each layer, balance, etc, so they founded Titleist to provide a more consistent product.
Originally every ball was x-rayed. I bet their lower tier balls aren’t anymore but the premise persists.
Did this test myself a few years ago. In a dozen prov1s, 2 had a heavy spot...in a dozen tp5s, 9 of them had heavy spots. Only play titleist from that day.
And for the record, I see precisely zero difference in my scores😂
When did "Putt Like The Pros," by Pelz come out? Because that test was in there.
Along with a lot of really esoteric drills, tbh. (Anybody practice with that pronged Perfy putter he was mentioning every other page?)
I mean, shoot, D&D players have been using that method to find out what dice might have imbalances. Surprised me when this popped up as a topic of discussion in golf!
It actually didn't take all that long... probably 10 minutes of finding an acceptable vessel and another 15 to dissolve enough salt to make them float... After that you can do 3-5 balls every minute or so.
Bryson didn’t invent this. It’s been going on for at least 20 years. So many years ago, Wilson Staff had a ball they marketed against other balls including the Strata and Pro-V1 where they had a display with balls in liquid showing this exact concept.
Haha, 80 years at least… hogan did this after his wreck… I think he was taking epsom salt baths for his legs anyways, and basically realized one side would pop up consistently
Now we need a tutorial on how to find the heavy spot and how to line mark out balls so when we set up on the green it rolls true.
I hope your video editing is as good as your investigation!!
Thanks for the tip!!
Lmao well I'm allergic to putting with a line on my ball so all I do is dot the underweight side... The side that seems to seek air as it's floating. From there I just set the ball up with the dot on top so that no matter what line I pick, it still rolls end over end.
What are we supposed to do with this information? I mean do we hit it where it floats? Do we discard the ball? I’m so lost as to what to do with this information.
It’s so weird that this is considered groundbreaking. People have been doing this for decades. Especially with old wound balls where they could be significantly out of balance.
I probably did this to my balls 30 years ago but have t done it since because I realized I’m not good enough for it to matter.
What I find so hilarious about this is that us DND nerds have been doing this to our dice for years to make sure they are random. The fact that fantasy nerds and sports nerds are the same is awesome!
I could see explaining this to my buddies. My score improves by 10 strokes. One bad shot. I would be mocked for the next 25 years about epsom salts.
One of my group suggested a restaurant when we were on a golf trip. It was based on a $2 dollar off coupon. None of us had been in that state before.
Easily one of the worst meals of our lives. 35+ years later this is brought up. He has been barred from recommending any restaurant. A great group of guys!
I have never done this and likely never will, but I’ve definitely sliced a few balls the last few weeks and been like “I guarantee epson salt would exonerate me if I got that ball back”
It’s a running joke with my friends that I make a million excuses for my golf game. It’s never my fault. Out of balance balls is gonna make them lose their shit.
Cool experiment, thanks for sharing! You can save yourself a ton of salt water and time by purchasing a ball balancer. Tons of them on Amazon. They spin the ball at a high rate of speed until the heavy side is down and then have a built in guide to mark the ball.
>holy shit this guy is a fucking geek
Want to get even geekier? D&D nerds have been doing this with their dice for years to make sure they have juiced ones/not duds. Much like balls the balance gets better the nicer the brand.
It’s interesting.
However why would it not work for your irons / wedges?
And I don’t understand why if you put the heavy side inside and hit a draw with your driver, it won’t draw as much?
To clarify, the heavy side was low and inside; same premise as a ball with mud on it; it tends to work away from the added weight. On the ground it works toward it, but in the air it slows down that side of the ball from spinning, causing opposite-side cut spin.
I think it doesn't affect a compressed shot for similar reasons... it's affecting the spin of the shot, but the short irons and wedges put a lot more spin on the ball to start with, so the effect isn't as dramatic, if that makes sense.
At least I tell myself that so that I'm not overthinking my approach shots, since I can't technically adjust the ball in the fairway legally.
Yea I think it would make a difference for “sensitive shots” putts or maybe chips around the green.
I hear what you’re saying about mud on the ball but I’m less convinced about it making a difference for longer shots from wedge up… unless the ball was really fuked up but you’d see and feel the shot and know it was a messed up ball right away, as if you use a lost ball and you know it’s old and rotten.
For what it's worth, this was not Bryson's original idea. I've seen plenty of videos showing this method of picking balls for years now from multiple sources. Not sure who the originator of the idea was.
People have been doing this for 50 years.
This works better.

Great information but I’m slightly irritated that the black dot you have marked on the ball in the picture is clearly 1 dimple to the left of where it should be…. 😆
They don't necessarily need to be balanced for short iron and wedge shots, and you can place the ball on the tee and the greens so by setting it up properly you can negate the effects of it being out of balance or even use it to your advantage such as to fight a slice or a hook.
I did a deep dive into this years ago when Wilson came out with a “True” ball which was designed to be perfectly balanced. I started testing balls and the only other balls I found to be perfectly balanced were Hogan Apex balls. Those aren’t made any more. It’s surprising that the top manufacturers haven’t tackled this yet
So the golf world is just now tuning into stuff Dungeons and Dragons players have been doing for a long time. Nerds always find a way to nerd some shit up. Good stuff
Played 18 last night using the epsom salt technique for the first time. Shot 2 under 70 with 16 pars and 2 birdies, its only the third time I’ve gone bogey free in a round and it’s the best round I’ve played this year. I guess I’ll keep doing it lol
Yeah I knew about that...in the winter I usually keep two in my pocket and rotate them out. I'm in the southeast so it's not much of a problem either... maybe 30 days per year or so.
So, what I'm taking from this is that if I take a bunch of Epsom salt to the course, a lot of balls are going to float to the surface. I may never have to buy another ball...
"Golf courses hate this one trick!"
"No, I won't need a cart. I've got this dump truck full of Epsom salt. I can just drive that."
And then you can use the empty truck to carry away your new found balls. I'm impressed.
Cart path only sir
“Can I straddle the path? Is that okay? I can’t seem to get all the tires on at once. You know what, I’ll just straddle the path!” Honks air horn
You're in luck. 90 degree rule today
‘What do you mean you have a dump truck full of epsom salt?’ ‘I don’t know how I can say it any clearer’
Lmfao I'd be lying if I said it didn't cross my mind... It takes a literal fuckton of it even in the little Tupperware container to get them to float though so you'd basically need to harvest an asteroid to pay for it...
Fuckton, is that a standard, or a metric measurement?
It's 5 times a shit ton
5s and 10s…metric it is.
No, it's all based upon which ton you're using, the metric or standard/imperial ton. You can have a metric fuck ton and a standard fuck ton. I mean this isn't fucking rocket surgery!
How often do rockets get surgery?
I didn't know. We need some sort of brain scientist to answer that.
A regular ton is 2,000 pounds. A shit ton is 2,500 pounds.
Goddamn that sounds like a fuck ton
I thought it might be a shit load
What’s the conversion rate to a butt load?
I think a standard fuckton should work but it might actually require a metric fuckton if your balls are stubborn. In all seriousness I filled the thing up with salt so much that the balls were just sitting on the salt and still more than halfway over the top of the water...it took about 15 minutes to get it all to dissolve.
My wife says the same thing.
Heh
And how does it convert to an assload or Stanley nickels?
Easy. It’s always the same as the golden ratio, leprechauns to unicorns.
I think it’s part of the Imperial measurement system. Vader mentions dropping a fuckton of hurt on the rebels I believe. Of course they were all late for their tee times and backing up the course so totally understandable. [Lord Vader](https://youtu.be/TgSr92RgI38?si=piham480V3I6lCjA)
That's 69 butt loads!
TupperWare Fuckton Asteroid Harvest.
Not sure what you read. What I learned is that OP has salty balls.
And a lot of floating belly up fish
Ima go to Sawgrass and dump epsom salts all around 17th green. Collect balls. Profit.
Also free dead frogs and fish
Well shit. Now I have a good excuse for my terrible shot dispersion, bad balls.
I've got boxes full of Pepe!
Rory now has an excuse for his putts at the US Open, unsalted balls.
He had salty balls after it was over though
Now everyone after they hit a 50 yard banana slice out of bounds. “Stupid ball I knew that one had a heavy spot. Give me another ball that one doesn’t count.”
Lmao that's the cursed part of the knowledge...if you don't find the heavy point and account for it, you'll never know if that lip-out was actually your fault... Not much we can do about the 50 yard slices, but if you're trying to stick a pin on the short side by a bunker and end up on the beach, you're always gonna wonder if that was you or the ball... I think back to that video of the guy rolling balls off of a stimpmeter, he has it set up to break perfectly in the hole, and four of them do...but when he drops a fifth one it doesn't quite take the break enough... Then the text comes up on the screen and says "don't focus too much on the result, sometimes they just don't fall..." and now I can't help but wonder if he just rolled the last ball off-balance and couldn't have known... It definitely makes you think.
That could be the grass changing as balls roll over it
Hate to break it to you, but if you’re flag hunting and miss in the short sided bunker it was almost definitely not the balls fault
I’ll just attribute my slice to heavy balls now.
I’ve always attributed my slice to my heavy balls
It's why I rub one out before every tee box. My playing partners hate it, but oh well.
your playing partners hate this one little trick
It's why I ~~rub~~ *stroke* one out before every tee box
Bonus: You can sticky up your grips.
My wife is going to be annoyed with me when I use up a bunch of her Epsom salt.
"Honey, it's for my balls."
im fucking dying 🤣🤣
Do it while she's taking a bath. Quality time! ✅
All I’m picturing is the scene in American Beauty but instead of rose pedals it’s just a bunch of the different color callaway super softs.

Spec-tacular...
😂 golf balls floating everywhere lmao
Wife: babe have you seen my dr teals? Hub: your what? Wife: ……why do your golf balls smell like rose petal and eucalyptus?
I don’t golf but this sub has been on my home feed forever I find this wicked interesting
I love this comment. I have been learning a lot about concrete, decks and lawncare the last few months for the same reason. I think Reddit is trying to pump up the subreddit engagement.
I get those exact same subs...
Make me 3. Tbh I don’t mind a lot of them, as it’s cool to see peoples DIY ideas and skills
lol, wow. Make it a 4th. Theory Confirmed.
5th
I could put a 4 foot slab strong enough to support the foundation of a deck with a hot tub after this algorithm mayhem.
Don’t forget to aerate that lawn. Not sure if that’s before or after setting the concrete footers. Remember wood should never touch dirt!
6th Decks, DIY, roofing, landscaping 🤷
7th. All the same ones!
7th
5th, I know alot about decks now and I never intend to.build one. I love seeing posts about hottubs on the decks and thinking this person fucked up
I was also recommended the same subs.
Same lol we’re all middle aged men concerned with our shot shaping and zoysia health apparently
I’m pretty sure I could build a deck at this point. Beams resting on metal brackets on concrete footers. 16” on center. Mind the span. Ledger board with metal flashing. Blocking is a must. Seems to be some disagreement on the use of deck tape but for the most part can’t hurt. Use the right connectors and nails/screws. Simpson strong tie
I spent the last 2 years renovating my house with zero previous experience. I learned almost everything I needed to know between here and youtube.
Hot tub seems to be the litmus test
Ive never thought twice about these 3 things until Reddit. Now I swear I can lay sod, stamp concrete, and build a deck worthy of two hot tubs
Go to the concrete sub and filter by top all time. You shan’t be disappointed
Me too
I think I'm about ready to do my own concrete project after the last month. Reddit knows I pause to read the headlines every time. More interesting than I would think. It's either golf or poor concrete next weekend.
Don't forget mycology
Wait r/decks, r/lawncare, and r/concrete invaded someone else’s homepage besides mine?
Thanks! I'm a scientist even more so than a golfer, so this comment makes me feel like I did something. 🤣🤣
You’d definitely enjoy reading Dave Pelz’ Short Game Bible if you haven’t already, he was a NASA physicist turned golf instructor / short game guru and his books are basically golf science. He has a putting Bible as well
Your thread is strangely similar to mine…
Rhode Island is nice this time of year, I need to visit again soon
MyGolfSpy measures off-centeredness of different brands. Titleist is the most consistent iirc.
Right! I thought they found only a rare ball was off-centered, maybe one per dozen depending on the make. I also though Bryson only found an occasional ball off-center, and just tossed those out. He did this by doing serval tests of each ball in the salt water. If different places keep coming up, then that is random and okay. Only a few had the same spot come up consistently. I think MySpy does this by cutting the ball open to see if the inside material is off-center. Of course, a different test than the salt water test.
Yea it would be harder to play the ball after it’s cut in half
I don't think that would help me with my putting.
It’s the whole reason Titleist was founded, because they cut open other brands’ balls and they were remarkably inconsistent in each layer, balance, etc, so they founded Titleist to provide a more consistent product. Originally every ball was x-rayed. I bet their lower tier balls aren’t anymore but the premise persists.
Did this test myself a few years ago. In a dozen prov1s, 2 had a heavy spot...in a dozen tp5s, 9 of them had heavy spots. Only play titleist from that day. And for the record, I see precisely zero difference in my scores😂
I only play ProV’s sothere goes my excuse for sucking at putting.
It's been known to work for 20+ years. I used to do it to all my tournament round balls
Would you mark them and leverage the imbalance or do you only use balanced balls?
Both. Balanced balls on days I didn't have the hooks, imbalanced to help fight the hooks
When did "Putt Like The Pros," by Pelz come out? Because that test was in there. Along with a lot of really esoteric drills, tbh. (Anybody practice with that pronged Perfy putter he was mentioning every other page?)
I'm currently reading the short game bible by Pelz. Is "putt like the pros" worth reading?
I just googled this trying to find a picture and found a putter shaped like a penis called the "Peter Putter". 🤣
I feel like wound balls were actually more symmetrical and better about this. The first generation Pro-V1s were much worse than a Professional.
There was a little tool you could buy that would find the heavy spot/side. Not sure if it actually worked or if it is even still available.
Are you talking about the check n go spinner? I had that but found salt water was better back when I used to check my balls
I don’t know what it was called, but it did spin the ball. A guy I played with years ago had one in his bag. This was probably early 90’s.
It's called check n go
I mean, shoot, D&D players have been using that method to find out what dice might have imbalances. Surprised me when this popped up as a topic of discussion in golf!
It's been a thing for well over 40 years. Lol
Weekend plans are shot
It actually didn't take all that long... probably 10 minutes of finding an acceptable vessel and another 15 to dissolve enough salt to make them float... After that you can do 3-5 balls every minute or so.
You’ve never seen me waste time after midnight in my garage
Heh... Don't call me out like that 🤣
Bryson didn’t invent this. It’s been going on for at least 20 years. So many years ago, Wilson Staff had a ball they marketed against other balls including the Strata and Pro-V1 where they had a display with balls in liquid showing this exact concept.
Haha, 80 years at least… hogan did this after his wreck… I think he was taking epsom salt baths for his legs anyways, and basically realized one side would pop up consistently
Are you telling me he equated his testes to his balatas?
I think OP just said he saw it in a Bryson video, not that Bryson discovered it.
This
Now we need a tutorial on how to find the heavy spot and how to line mark out balls so when we set up on the green it rolls true. I hope your video editing is as good as your investigation!! Thanks for the tip!!
Lmao well I'm allergic to putting with a line on my ball so all I do is dot the underweight side... The side that seems to seek air as it's floating. From there I just set the ball up with the dot on top so that no matter what line I pick, it still rolls end over end.
Epson salt + water Toss ball in. Mark top of ball. Remove ball, toss back in. Mark top of ball. Use the 2 points to make a line.
That’s why I play Maxflis which are center of gravity marked for me. That way I know for sure my slice is all my fault.
“Use this to shape my salty balls…” This sub needs more NSFW tags.
Aww come on man get your mind out of the gutter... it's totally above board 🤣
Commenting so I remember to research this and the potential effect
Same!
Same
Science!!
What are we supposed to do with this information? I mean do we hit it where it floats? Do we discard the ball? I’m so lost as to what to do with this information.

Wife is going to have some questions when she comes home to me in a bathtub of Epson salt, 4 dozen Maxfli Tour X, a sharpie, and a rubber ducky.
I always knew I had heavy balls. Had to stop riding my bike because of it.
I had to get to the bottom of why I kept veering off into the ditch
Bro is literally cooking so hard
Nice now I have another use for epsom salt besides cleaning my bong
Holy shit that guy is a fucking geek
This is pretty cool. But, as a non scratch golfer, I have much more to worry about.
What I find so hilarious about this is that us DND nerds have been doing this to our dice for years to make sure they are random. The fact that fantasy nerds and sports nerds are the same is awesome!
I could see explaining this to my buddies. My score improves by 10 strokes. One bad shot. I would be mocked for the next 25 years about epsom salts.

Many years ago Wilson came out with the TRUE golf ball. The different layers were the same density so they had a less defined heavy/light side.
I have never done this and likely never will, but I’ve definitely sliced a few balls the last few weeks and been like “I guarantee epson salt would exonerate me if I got that ball back”
It’s a running joke with my friends that I make a million excuses for my golf game. It’s never my fault. Out of balance balls is gonna make them lose their shit.
Cool experiment, thanks for sharing! You can save yourself a ton of salt water and time by purchasing a ball balancer. Tons of them on Amazon. They spin the ball at a high rate of speed until the heavy side is down and then have a built in guide to mark the ball.
So you’re saying my drives are bad because I need a new set of clubs??? Perfect, off I go!
That's exactly what I'm saying. And your putting is mediocre because you haven't bought a new Scotty Cameron yet.
Sooooooooo I don't have to use Chapstick and Wintergreen lifesavers any more?
>holy shit this guy is a fucking geek Want to get even geekier? D&D nerds have been doing this with their dice for years to make sure they have juiced ones/not duds. Much like balls the balance gets better the nicer the brand.
I knew about it with casino dice .. it makes sense for any dice game someone is serious about I suppose.
Ok Bryson
D&D players have been float testing their dice like this for ages lmao.
Makes sense why I have a hook. Couldn’t of been my swing.
Of course it works. It's physics😂
Oh man. Another thing I need to fix now. The list is getting long
It’s interesting. However why would it not work for your irons / wedges? And I don’t understand why if you put the heavy side inside and hit a draw with your driver, it won’t draw as much?
To clarify, the heavy side was low and inside; same premise as a ball with mud on it; it tends to work away from the added weight.

Yea I think it would make a difference for “sensitive shots” putts or maybe chips around the green. I hear what you’re saying about mud on the ball but I’m less convinced about it making a difference for longer shots from wedge up… unless the ball was really fuked up but you’d see and feel the shot and know it was a messed up ball right away, as if you use a lost ball and you know it’s old and rotten.
Daaaamn a TP5 unbalanced?
24 of 24, 100% of the balls I tested had at least one heavy point.
Were the locations of the heavy spots on the balls in the same location as the one in your picture or were they random?
Different spot on every ball... that's the frustrating part, you have to do it for all of them.
For what it's worth, this was not Bryson's original idea. I've seen plenty of videos showing this method of picking balls for years now from multiple sources. Not sure who the originator of the idea was.
Thank you
b
Hero
Captain?
Looks like I know what I’m doing today
Thank you. I'm going to try this.
Wow. So mark the ball opposite of the “heavy” side. Then putt dot facing putter face, but T up with the dot slightly up?
Testing every ball and marking it might be extreme. But knowing this I guess there’s merit to keep using a ball you are playing well with
I always wondere why you can roll balls and they never roll the same way and this might be why.
So what exactly is this? I’m out of the loop.
All of this effort just for me to slice my drive into the water hazard on hole 1
I have to admit that I also am a nerd when it comes to golf equipment, do you remember the title of the Bryson’s video you talked about ? Ty
Great now ball company’s have an excuse to charge 120$ a dozen for “perfectly balanced” premium balls
You all do know they make ball spinners just for this purpose, right? They run on 2 AA batteries.
People have been doing this for 50 years. This works better. https://www.amazon.com/glylo-Electronic-Alignment-Distribution-QPR1NAGW5SRS1R352A5/dp/B0CYLPYTW9/ref=asc_df_B0CYLPYTW9/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=701831917877&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=15329465043109930576&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9021769&hvtargid=pla-2370825667847&psc=1&mcid=bc42675f6b2d38b29d67f9af13ffe6c3&gad_source=1
I had no doubt in my mind it would actually work. But is it worth it
Too bad the game isn’t played in an epsom salt bath
Huh? I don't follow your logic horsecockexpress...
Great information but I’m slightly irritated that the black dot you have marked on the ball in the picture is clearly 1 dimple to the left of where it should be…. 😆
I’m assuming there’s nothing you can do to balance them? I also I have a 6.5 handicap and I win all my club tournaments, you know, like a liar.
They don't necessarily need to be balanced for short iron and wedge shots, and you can place the ball on the tee and the greens so by setting it up properly you can negate the effects of it being out of balance or even use it to your advantage such as to fight a slice or a hook.
My balls are in deed off balance, one hangs slightly lower than the other
Bro gonna break the internet if other zero handicaps can confirm this
That was a lot of effort just to brag about how you can compress your irons
Epsom salt shares about to sky-rocket and only we will know why
I did a deep dive into this years ago when Wilson came out with a “True” ball which was designed to be perfectly balanced. I started testing balls and the only other balls I found to be perfectly balanced were Hogan Apex balls. Those aren’t made any more. It’s surprising that the top manufacturers haven’t tackled this yet
Salty balls
Does work and makes a difference on putts
So the golf world is just now tuning into stuff Dungeons and Dragons players have been doing for a long time. Nerds always find a way to nerd some shit up. Good stuff
Now all you need to do is hit it like a pro and these types of marginal gains will make all the difference.
I just bought the check go pro. It basically does the same job no?
It's a shame you put up a sincere valid experiment 👍 and just get a ton of rubbish responses back 🤮
You are a geek
Sounds like we need quality control across the industry
Played 18 last night using the epsom salt technique for the first time. Shot 2 under 70 with 16 pars and 2 birdies, its only the third time I’ve gone bogey free in a round and it’s the best round I’ve played this year. I guess I’ll keep doing it lol
Nice! I'm happy to have played a part in it, thanks for telling me about it!
My only thought was if Bryson does it, of course it works and my golf game ain’t good enough for it to matter.
Also, heated balls go further in case you ever play in cold weather. I’m in Arizona, so we don’t have that problem.
Yeah I knew about that...in the winter I usually keep two in my pocket and rotate them out. I'm in the southeast so it's not much of a problem either... maybe 30 days per year or so.
