Why not look a bit more into it? It certainly would have a kind of built-in publicity factor to it as it is so unique. And looking at the big picture I don't think we have seen the last of people trying to develop new ways to enjoy playing (and practicing golf) There is ALWAYS room for another good idea. Doug Hey Andy,

You have some good thoughts. Why not look a bit more into it? It certainly would have a kind of built-in publicity factor to it as it is so unique.

And looking at the big picture I don’t think we have seen the last of people trying to develop new ways to enjoy playing (and practicing golf) There is ALWAYS room for another good idea.

The parachute golf ball theory does interest me quite a bit because I reckon based on this concept we can toy around with idea of a ball that can be used repeatedly for practice, can give you the feel of hitting a real golf ball but it may not necessarily travel much. This way you can practice quite a lot and don’t even have to bother yourself with trying to find a golf course where you can play. I came across this possibility by reading one of the patent links which signifies that as one of its main aims. Another interesting use for such a ball could be in trying to introduce young kids to the game. I know that in many countries they are trying to popularize the sport at a very young age by making plastic balls and bats so that the kids can get a feel of the game. This kind of ball can definitely be introduced in schools where they are trying to inculcate the skills of the game. The one thing that I am not sure about is the cost of developing such a ball and is it comparable to the rates of production of a normal ball?
