golf balls, delivered

From micromcallister, 10/10/2003.

Being a bit of a snoot when it comes to my golf ball of choice, I surprised myself this week when I ordered three dozen "nearly new" golf balls over the Internet, from a retailer in Mississauga. Knet Golf delivered the 36 balls in 24 hours (1.5 balls per hour!).

The site assured me that these balls haven't been sitting at the bottom of a pond for a few months. Rather, they were logo overruns or balls with minor cosemtic blemishes (I noticed that the stamping of some of the logos was smeared on some). But, at $20 a dozen as opposed to $30 a dozen at the local golf store, why not give it a try?

If nothing less, I can blame my next round score on "wonky Internet balls".
