    Yes 60 round Southerness... a true links test. Ok so it was Winter tees and preferred lies and no wind or rain however my chipping and putting was akin to a certain Mr Spieth. Maybe these are the balls he uses?!

    Congratulations on your round! That's a great score and well played. So, will you be stocking up on the new golf balls when they come to market in January/February? (I am asking that with my tongue firmly planted in cheek!)

    Yes Dwayne, for me the real difference was wedge distance control and putting - the ball has a GPS methinks!!! Btw I usually play Pro V1X - driving distance similar - slightly lower trajectory with Test ball.

    Who cares if it is preferred lies and winter tees, that is still some round of golf.

    Thanks Dino. Truly a bizarre round as started in bright sunshine and after six holes played into a sea mist - course is a links on Solway Firth. I normally play Pro V1X - will definitely be switching to 2017 model - possibly V1 ( test ball is Black number?!)

    Thanks James - really appreciate your comment. This was one of the most bizarre rounds of my life - and I have played for 40 years!!! Started in sunshine and played through fog after six holes. Not sure if you have ever played at Southerness - if you are ever visiting let me know. It is a true old fashioned Championship Links. p.s. bring a brolly... and a wooly hat!!

    "Bring a brolly and a wool hat" ... does that still apply in June and July? ;-D
    I suspect that you may be correct ... Black numbers being the Pro V1. I tested the red number version earlier this autumn and simply loved it! I'm holding off until the end of January to pick up my 4 dozen golf balls!

    Thanks Dave... I can assure you my golf is usually more Jim Carrey than Jim Furyk... tho I do like the idea of sabotaging the US Ryder Cup team from within...!!!

    Indeed, we wear two wooly hats in Winter... and there is a St Bernard on standby in the Clubhouse armed with the local Malt...

    I'm familiar with Southerness. Played it several times on business trips. A 60 on it is a truly outstanding accomplishment. Congrats!

    Thanks Greg... now those are the sort of "Business Trips" I want to be a part of... ;-) Hope we can welcome you at Southerness again soon... I will make sure that the Conference facilities (aka the 19th Hole situated in the proximity of the Bar area!!) are fully open and at your disposal...
