PrintIn high school, I used to work at a driving range. I can't tell you the number of people that I talked into buying a jumbo bucket because it was the "best value," a.k.a. most expensive. There's just something about pounded 150 golf balls that is not appealing to me. As I've gotten older, I've tried to reduce the number of balls that I hit when I practice.
Fredrik Jacobsen has me crushed, though. In this video, he has mastered the technique of the one ball bucket.
Meanwhile, Adam Barr Golf has the video skinny on some interesting shaft technology that may help us move on from the complaining about grooves. Rory Sabbatini has been testing out a new True Temper shaft that flexes in such a way so that it imparts extra spin on the ball to make up for some of what the new grooves took away from pros.
Thanks to @ltbeyer for the linkage!

“As I’ve gotten older, I’ve tried to reduce the number of balls that I hit when I practice” ??? RB – what’s going to happen when you actually DO get “older” ?? :-)
I played one of the Stone Mountain Park courses some years back and caught up to a big backup on a par 3. Turns out it was a group of Japanese gentlemen and their wives. The four men were in carts, the wives were walking, but not playing. Bad enough already – but it gets even more amazing. These guys hit tee shots, and if they didn’t like the shots, they would send the women down to pick up the balls and bring them back so they could hit them again.
Now THAT’S a one ball workout. :-)
"this ball will fit in that fairway"
Naw TX,
they gave that practice up in the 70’s…ran out of rope….STUB
