Talk:Golf Ball History

WORK NOTES: I deleted the following paragraphs from the article and gave my reason why at the end of each one. I am no expert in golf, so if anyone disagrees with the deletion, you can copy and paste the info back in.


 * So how do we compare Tiger Woods to Ben Hogan, or Walter Hagen or Bobby Jones? Who was / is better?  Does it not depend on technology?  Although improvements in things such as drivers and irons are the most talked about improvements, I'm focusing on how the golf ball has changed since inception, and how it makes players better today.

I deleted the above because it seems to be opinionated. Phrases like "does it not depend on technology?" is assuming the reader will agree. And whether a better ball makes a better player is also debatable.


 * With all this improvement in technology, especially over the past decade, it begs to ask the question; who is a better golfer? Tiger Woods or Jack Nicklaus?  Well - Jack shot a total score of 271 to win The Masters in 1965, while Tigers Wood holds the record with a 270 total score, where he won the 1997 Masters.   Who is the better golfer?  The guy who shot 271 with a rubber ball or the guy who 270 with an ultra modified, highly compressed, soft feel ball?  You be the judge!

I deleted the above because it asks the reader to speculate about what ball is better or who plays better, when I believe the topic at hand is "Golf Ball History" and the article should only pertain to facts about its "history."

As I said earlier, feel free to disagree with me and add anything back you feel is appropriate. Also, the article needs references/sources, external links, maybe pics.... Brina700 23:26, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
