Gifting the Right Golf Ball

You can't go wrong with golf balls as a gift for a golfer, and this year you can give them the  ball that best fits11.gif their game! Here’s a handy guide to finding the perfect golf ball gift:

Brand Preference: Between Titleist, Nike, Bridgestone, Callaway, TaylorMade and Srixon, you won’t run out of options on LostGolfBalls.com but you might have to get creative when snooping around for the recipient’s brand of choice -- dark garage spaces can be tricky to navigate incognito.

Swing Speed: Golf swings are like snowflakes- no two are ever alike. Our sample packs allow you to pick a dozen that best match the swing speed of the lucky golfer about to receive a great holiday gift. This is a pretty technical selection process, so it might actually make the best gift (cough), for (cough), yourself (cough).

Zip code: Cooler temperatures can have an effect on the performance of a golf ball. Softer, low-compression options offset some of the negative effects cold weather can have on distance and spin. With cold temperatures in the forecast, our winter golf balls make for the seasonally appropriate option.

Favorite Color: Does the golfer in your life love pink, blue, orange or yellow? We’ve got dozens and dozensHL-12BOX-TI-Pro-V1-2015-2.png of golf balls in multiple colors and you’re sure to find a fit from one of our colored combo options! Bonus gift idea: if you’re buying an outfit or new golf gear for someone, why not match the golf balls to that color? It’s always in season to be stylish on the course!

Combo Deal: For the golfer always looking for a great deal, our Holiday Combo packs make for the ultimate gift, because in addition to golf balls, they’ll receive a glove, tees, ball marker and a club brush! Not to say that one gift is better than another, but with the combo deal (that also comes in pink!) we dare say that you’ll become the favorite gift giver among your golfer pals!

With the help of these tips and our Best Ball Help tool, you can’t go wrong in finding the right gift for any and all golfers in your life! You can also chat with us online or contact us with more questions, we’re happy to help!

Should Equipment Changes Be Made Public in PGA Tour Events?

Should equipment changes be noted publicly before a player tees it up in a PGA Tour event? While that may sound crazy, it is common practice in horse racing. Some bettors want all the information they can get. With gambling now a big part of sports, I don’t think it’s a crazy idea. Already this year we saw Collin Morikawa (TaylorMade TP5x) winning an event with a putter borrowed from another player. Chris Gotterup (Bridgestone Tour B X with Mindset) won two tournaments this year after changing ball. And remember when Scottie Scheffler (Titleist Pro V1) went on a tear changing to a blade putter to a mallet putter?

Genesis Invitational Gives Us The Reality Of Sports

I’ve written this before and I’m repeating it because it never ceases to amaze me how televised sports is the ultimate reality show, the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat, as the now-defunct ABC Wild Word of Sports used as its intro. On the final hole of the Pebble Beach Open, Jacob Bridgeman (TaylorMade TP5x) was hitting a shot off of pebbles on the beach on the 18th hole. His ball ended up in the ocean and resulted in a bogey, tying him for eighth place when he was close enough starting the hole for a much better finish. I thought his spirits were crushed and dismissed him for the Genesis Invitational. So what does he do? Goes on a tear and headed into the final day, chasing a tournament record score. But he nearly frittered away the win, coming undone on the back half of the back nine and eking out a single stroke victory, and only because he parred a four-foot putt that must have seemed much longer because of the pressure. That’s drama, real drama, not manufactured reality. He won the event for the first time in his 66th tournament on the PGA Tour and only 65 days after marrying.

It's Time To Talk About Tiger Woods Again

Some thoughts on the world of golf with the Masters less than eight weeks away: When Tiger Woods (Bridgestone Tour B XS) speaks, we all listen. As the host of the Genesis Invitational this week, Woods held his annual address about his health, career, playing in the Masters and the PGA Tour at large. Woods is gradually returning to swinging his clubs from his latest back surgery last fall, which naturally had reporters asking him about his playing status. He did not specify when he will return to playing again, yet he tersely and emphatically did not rule out playing in the Masters. “No,” he said. Woods has always tried to play in the Masters, no matter his physical condition.
