Golf Balls

It goes without saying that in some cases, getting older is a real downer. The things you know are constantly changing, you start feeling aches and pains in places you never have before, and certain hobbies that you used to enjoy can become more tedious than they used to be. If one of your favorite pastimes is the game of golf, then you may be finding it more difficult to play as you age, due to the amount of stress the game can put on your back, wrist, and body in general. But there is some equipment that makes it a little bit easier to golf in advancing age. One such piece of equipment for seniors is the golf ball itself.

If you are just starting out playing golf, your handicap is probably high like all beginners. Many high handicap golfers have lower swing speeds that will benefit if the ball travels more distance. Another common problem for beginners is that they tend to slice the ball off the tee.

When people think of playing golf, there are not many who like to go out and play in the winter. Harsh course conditions such as ice and snow are generally a good deterrent for a round of golf. But let’s say you are someone who likes to play a round or two in the winter, and you come ready to play with your normal golf balls in tow. You may notice while playing that your balls tend to fly lower and are not as effective as they would be during warm weather, but why is that?
