Golf is a sport where the quality of your equipment plays a huge part in how successful you are, and because of this, we spend lots of money buying the best equipment we can afford. Under normal circumstances, our golf clubs travel no further than our local golf course, so they don't need much by way of protection from damage.

As golf gets more and more popular world-wide, the chances of being injured or becoming the victim of a crime increases as well. It has been estimated that there are almost 30,000 golf related injuries each year requiring hospital treatment, and that several millions of dollars worth of expensive golfing equipment is stolen every year from golf courses or clubhouses.

Choosing the right type of golf ball for your golf vacation is simple right? They are all the same shape, pretty much all the same color and feel like they all weigh the same - I know I can buy cheap balls and some are real expensive, so is there a difference?
