It’s not something I saw personally or have an interesting story but this was said to me and it’s so wild I just wanted to share it. So I was talking to an older friend in his 70s that doesn’t golf much anymore but used to and we were talking about balls, how long you can use them, getting scuffed etc… Then he hits me with this little nugget: I used to have a friend I played with who wouldn’t use the ball washer. Instead he would pop the ball in his mouth and swish it around to clean it. He got cancer though, and died. So fellas, don’t do this! submitted by /u/lukin187250 [link] [comments]
