Wackiest Training Aid: “Parachute Golf Balls”
I just came across this ad the other day. Obviously it is a few years old. It seemed so bizarre it kinda caught my attention. I mean parachutes on golf balls? It actually sounds stupid and cool at the same time.
Of course, there are all sorts of golf ball training aids that restrict the flight of balls today from plastic to foam to those crappy little whiffle golf balls. I shouldn’t talk, I use them too – but they sure don’t last that long.
I tried to do some research on Google on these “Parachute Golf Balls” and really came up with not much so if you find anything please respond to this post so I can rest easier.
Really anything with a parachute has always been fascinating to me. Maybe because my Mom used to buy my brothers and I those GI Joe-like hard plastic dolls with a parachute attached (sort of like this toy). I loved those things.
We had those things in trees in our neighbors yards and everywhere else. Just hours and hours tossing those things in the air. With all these complicated toys today with thousands of parts it sure was a simple toy. Maybe that was the charm of it.
So I am on a mission to find out more about these “parachute golf balls”. I’ll keep you “posted”
