Used Golf Balls: A Comprehensive Guide

Introduction

Golf is a game of precision, skill, and strategy, and the equipment you use can significantly influence your performance on the course. One of the most essential pieces of equipment is the golf ball. While many golfers prefer new golf balls, used golf balls are becoming increasingly popular for several reasons, including cost-effectiveness, environmental considerations, and accessibility. In this guide, we will explore everything you need to know about used golf balls, including their benefits, how to choose the right ones, where to buy them, and more.

Understanding Used Golf Balls

Used golf balls are simply golf balls that have been played with before. They can come from various sources, including individuals, golf courses, or retailers who specialize in reselling used golf equipment. The condition of used golf balls can vary significantly, from slightly worn to almost brand new, making it essential to understand what you're purchasing.

Benefits of Using Used Golf Balls

Cost-Effectiveness: One of the most significant advantages of used golf balls is their affordability. New premium golf balls can cost upwards of $50 per dozen, while used golf balls can often be purchased for a fraction of that price. This is particularly beneficial for amateur golfers or those who play frequently.

Environmental Impact: Golf balls take a long time to decompose, leading to environmental concerns. By choosing used golf balls, you are helping reduce waste and promoting sustainability in the sport. It encourages recycling and reuse, contributing positively to the environment.

Variety and Experimentation: Used golf balls come in various brands, models, and conditions, giving golfers the opportunity to experiment without a hefty financial investment. You can try out different types of balls to find the one that suits your playing style best.

Accessibility: For beginners or recreational players who may not want to invest heavily in equipment, used golf balls offer a practical solution. They can practice and improve their skills without the pressure of losing expensive new balls.

Quality Options Available: Many used golf balls are in excellent condition, having been lost and found or retrieved from water hazards. You can find high-quality balls from reputable brands at a fraction of the cost.

If I Ever Were to Lose You

Pairing: Joel Miller x fem!reader (plus platonic Ellie Williams x fem!reader)

Author’s note: DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU DO NOT WANT TLOU2 SPOILED FOR YOU (also I was going to wait to post this but I like it so it’s getting posted 🥸)

Summary: “Perhaps, somewhere, some day, at a less miserable time, we may see each other again.” - Vladimir Nabokov [1.1k]

Warnings: spoilers for tlou2 that’s all I’m gonna say, all the feminine rage, poor Tommy

The day is going by slower and slower as the patrolmen search for them. You knew Tommy and Joel were on patrol together, but they were supposed to be back by now. Ellie, Dina, and Jesse formed the groups before you could even wake up. You trusted him to take those late night/early morning shifts, you had no reason not to, but now the pit of anxiety is solid in your stomach. You would probably be throwing up if you had anything in your stomach. Maria tries to get you to eat, but you can't. You can't do anything until you know Joel and Ellie are safe.

Before the Outbreak, you heard stories of wives waiting for their husbands to come back from war. You listened to them recount nights of dread and fear. You sympathized with them when they told you the prayers they whispered despite never believing in God. They just needed to beg for their lives. They needed someone to hear them. And it still wasn't enough to bring their husbands back alive. You never thought you'd be like those wives who said prayers into non-believing hands, but here you are.

He told you not to go. He told you he had it handled. He told you it was fine, and you believed him. You've trusted Joel with your life before but always struggled with trusting him with his own. He could be reckless and get tunnel vision, especially when protecting his family. You've argued about it more than enough times. You thought he knew to keep his mouth shut and his head down, so he came home alive. You thought he knew the rules. You thought he could handle himself.

You hear the footsteps coming up the porch before you see the people. Maria calls after you as you rush out the front door to see Ellie standing there, blood dried to her face and hoodie. You don't think twice before wrapping her in your arms and crying with relief. She barely returns your hug, her weak arms shaking around you. "Who did this?" You ask when you pull away, putting your hands on her face. Ellie's not all there, that much, you can tell. She has the same faraway look in her eyes that she got after she killed David. She can't even look at you.

Tommy clears his throat behind her, and that's the first time you see the men standing on your porch. Tommy's bloody and bruised too, but he's alive. The rest of the patrolmen stare at their snow-covered boots, dried tears staining some of their faces. You search the faces three times and feel your body tremble when you can't find Joel.

"Tommy," you say, your voice breaking on the second half of his name. "Where is Joel?" Ellie flinches at your question and flees from your arms, retreating into the house. Bombs could've been falling from the sky, and it wouldn't have made you look away. Tommy says your name softly and tries to put his arms around you, but you push him away. "Somebody, please tell me where my fucking husband is!"

Two patrolmen step to the side to reveal the body bag they had been carrying. Your knees buckle under you. Tommy holds you up and says something in your ear. You think you hear Sarah's name but can't understand him over the ringing in your ears. You can't see anything except the black body bag in the snow. "Let me see," You say. The patrolmen look to Tommy like it's his decision, and you lose a piece of your sanity. "Let me see him!" You yell. Slowly and hesitantly, they unzip the bag and reveal Joel or what's left of him. You think they expected you to flinch or to run away at the sight of his body, but you don't. You drop into the snow next to him and stare at him. You reach for his hand and hold it tightly in yours, like the warmth from your body will be enough to breathe life back into his.

"What happened, baby?" You ask him, kissing his cold hand. The glint of his gold wedding band catches your eye, and you feel like you could shatter into a million different pieces. It's dented and stained with blood, but he's wearing it. He never wore his ring on patrol, but he wore it any other chance he got. He must've fallen asleep with it on and never taken it off this morning. He died wearing the ring you put on his finger, the one you used to promise you would love, respect, and honor him until he died. Until this moment. Except, your love doesn't fade looking at him even now. You squeeze his hand and sniff as tears fall into the snow next to him. "You said it was fine. You told me. You fucking told me you'd be home for dinner," you sob. You faintly register the patrolmen around you kneeling, but you can't look at them. You can only look at Joel. "I would've gone with you, you stubborn bastard, and we would've come home. We're a team. I should've been there. I should've… oh, God."

Your head drops to rest on his chest, and you scream so loud that the mountains seem to shake with the force. You don't care who hears. You want the earth to rumble with the depth of your grief. You want time to stop for everyone else the way it just stopped for you. Joel died, and you weren't there. Joel died, and you didn't get to say goodbye. Joel died, and there was no way to protect him after you promised him you would always have his back. You want more time. You deserve more time. He deserves more time.

You cry for a long time. Nobody tries to pull you away from Joel or soothe you. They just bear witness as darkness tingles at the base of your spine until your tears stop and you pick your head up. You kiss his hand one more time before laying it back down and holding your palm to the place where that big, soft heart used to beat.

"Who did this?" You ask. The patrolmen don't move or speak until you hear familiar footsteps approaching you.

"It was a kid. She couldn't have been much older than Ellie." Tommy says, and that makes you wince. Of course, Joel would soften for a young girl like Ellie. Of course, he would let his guard down around her. Of course, that would be his downfall.

"Where did she go?"

"She's a kid."

"That's not what I fucking asked you, Tommy," you stand and turn to face him. His Adam's apple bobs when he sees the deadly look in your eyes. "You tell me which way she went so I can rip her eyes out of her skull and then come back and bury my husband."

"I…It was a group. You can't take them on by yourself." One of the patrolmen speaks up, and your jaw clenches.

"If you make me repeat myself one more fucking time, we’re gonna need more body bags,” you snap. “Where. Did. She. Go.”

Pedro Pascal as Joel Miller:

A 50 hour print that used almost an entire spool of filament for both the bust and the stand…. It was WELL worth it.

Now it’s time to decide if I’m going to keep him like this or sand, prime and paint. 👀 (the print lines are much less visible than the zoomed in images make them seem)

To Shadow, what's your ideal date with Amy?

You will not tell her this. ...It's whatever gets her to laugh. The last time Amy wanted to spend time together, she suggested Mini Golf. Both of us were disqualified on account of being loud and aggressive. I don't know what it was, but I must have said something she thought funny as we were leaving, and she laughed so hard she thought she might be sick. I... don't know if it was a date, but it's those days I enjoy the most.
