ALL THE GOLF NEWS THAT'S FIT TO PRINT...AND A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT THAT'S NOT

Welcome to The Hosel Rocket, a quasi-definitive and largely unauthorized source of golf information. Any resemblance of the content found on this site to actual journalism, however unlikely, should be considered purely accidental.

Dirty Balls?

Let's face it, we all get to the point every now and then when the inside of the golf bag begins to resemble a shag bag, chock full of faded balls bearing scuffs, grass stains, skid marks, tree bark, and other detritus acquired during their often crooked journies around our course.

When it's time to get some new ammo, the discerning duffer is confronted with two choices: load up in the pro shop or local golf discount store, or replenish your bag from what can be harvested from the ponds around our course (requires $3.00/ball mineral rights fee, payable to Bob Dray). As each of these options can prove quite expensive, it's important to take good care of those Pro-V1's, Bridgestones, and Flying Ladies (Tim, FYI, this is not a social networking site for stewardesses).

To that end, LCCC has asked me to remind everyone that ball washers are provided adjacent to every tee box, which will keep your pellets as sparkling white as the day they were purchased from your retailer or Dray. For those stubborn, hard to clean balls, the attached video from the USGA will provide further instruction on how to keep those little guys squeaky clean.
