Golf Balls

Shady Acres. More than just a miniature golf course, it was a magical spot for a youth. Handing over less than a dollar would result in receiving a couple of putters, two beat up golf balls and a score card. We would pass through the windmill, the long "L" and the pesky volcano, where I always took the 6 strokes after 5 tries.

I never graduated from Shady Acres to a real golf course, so the allure of air pressure, turbulence, and aerodynamics all rolled into a golf ball escapes me to this day.

This week, a look at the history of the golf ball.

TTFN, Fred.
