    OkieX:

    The dots mean whatever WGT wants them too.

    Now go get your wallet.

     

    Been using Callaway iS for 3 weeks and it seems that since last week balls are being taken out of play a lot sooner. Don't have the patience to count and so my hat is off to those who do, but tend to believe this quote.  Anyone else suspect a stealth patch?

    Did you count putts in that total Gooch?

    hello two,

    Whenever I struck the ball I counted. When someone conceeded a putt to me I did not count. I am in the process of counting again so it will be interesting what figure I come up with this time.

    I will edit post accordingly.

    Putts don't count in durability.  That's the difference between your # and Darsum's.

    40 putts plus 130 hits doesn't make sense .... that's only about 13 putts per 18 holes.

    Instead of counting each hit, you could try going by the scorecard(s) and subtracting putts. It's easiest if you start on 1st tee with a fresh ball.

    Just finished first sleeve of Level 71 Nike balls. Played approximately 145 holes. I average 3.54 strokes a hole which would total out at a little over 500 hits.( including putts) Does anyone feel this is a reasonable cost ratio?

      He counted hits during MPCs.  Lots of conceded putts in an MPC might account for that?

    Thanks Gooch, as the lads have said, putts dont count. But if you putt from the fringe, then that does count. Cheers Gooch, good to see your still playing my man.
