My new favorite golf ball

Too bad it's discontinued. I did just buy 80 of them for $40 on the web.

Titleist Tour Distance 100. I found one on the course today and it is the best ball I've ever played - bar none. I can't believe I hit a 100 compression ball so far, with such good feel.

Liquid-center wound ball with ionomer cover. The 'clicky' Titleist feel, in a ball that goes straight, straight, straight, and has exceptional touch around the green.

Did I mention this is the best ball I've ever tried? Too bad it doesn't come in pink...

These were the premier Titleist ball before the introduction of the Pro-V's...only then,they were called SF Tour Distance.

I loved these as well...for me (at the time)they were longer than the Pro-V's and definitely felt better.

We'll just have to find you a plaid ball. Or maybe argyle?

I played that golf ball all through highschool. I was never a fan of the Pro V and when they moved away from the good thing they had in that ball I switched from Titleist permanently. Enjoy them while you still have them around. The ball that I have found that I really like is the TF Gamer. I was skeptical at first but after a few rounds with it I love the feel and distance. It won't spin like the top of the line golf ball so don't expect the wedges to come back off the green any more but man it will stop on a dime with a well struck shot.

Not absolutely positive, but I believe I see that ball frequently at both Walmart and Target. So you may likely be able to play them for a very long time if you desire, or at least until you buy out all the stores in your area.

Not sure, although thinking about it I am not sure that maybe I don't have Initial Dyslexia and thinking about the DT

These should be waiting for me when I get home:

I'll be able to see them in the snow! They match this:

but I don't think the club will let me wear it on the course.

Aren't you supposed to have a tattoo to wear that?

I haven't worn it... yet.
Spoiler: show
It hasn't arrived yet.


Do temporary tattoos count? After all, if I had a real one, whose name would go on it?

You are a man of vast and odd resources.

I did mean to ask how anyone could ever find a camo ball after hitting it.

Poor Eracer--he's gonna come back and see what we did to his nice little thread.
