What type of golf ball responds best on the green? Although hard to believe, I compete in Professional MIni Golf tournaments around the country and was wondering what type of ball would perform best on the green (min golf course lol).

What type of balls (compression, three piece two piece etc.) would help increase my performance.

How do I become a certified PGA golf professional and what is a good site for golf jobs? I played college golf and worked at the King & Bear of World Golf Village and took the P.A.T. once and passed it very easily. I keep thinking I should become a PGA Professional because that is all I like besides sex, LOL. The thing that keeps me from pursuing it is that the pay is awful. I know these are a bunch of questions, but any suggestions from a golf pro would be helpful. Thanks!
What type of golf clubs does a beginner need for a round of golf? I just finished up a golf class last week put on by ESPN in which they gave you a set of Nike Ignite clubs to get started, namely; 4-9 irons, pw, 3-hybrid and a putter. I added a cheap driver (which I'm planning on upgrading to a Nike Summo) and a Wilson 58 deg sand wedge as well. I have played the past two months with this set and feel that I may need more fairway clubs especially for the 5 pars. I'm getting mixed up between some saying I need a 3 and a 5 wood while others say I need 5, 7 and 9 wood. As well, I'm mixed up whether I should get hybrids (like the #3 that I have) to take the place of the woods. Does anyone have suggestions on what I should get to complete my set? BTW, I do like wedges and would like to add either a LW or a GW to my set. Thanks!
When will golf courses be made illegal throughout the world? It's well established now both that global warming is a very real international crisis akin to the threat of nuclear holocaust in its end result, and the threat is increasing with every day, and every plane taken by every traveller, and every car taken down the road. .. and every golf course that uses water that spreads fertilizer and pesticide around the near countryside, when the land could be returned to native trees for more oxygen for us all, and for birds to in turn help promote growth of more trees elsewhere. People travel across the world just to see 'beautiful nature' and go hiking amongst the trees in New Zealand - more than the number of people who go there to play golf - so for local tourist opportunities in other countries too, it makes sense to plant more trees, and reduce, reuse and recycle old golf courses. Save the world! Reclaim your local golf course for nature, the birds, the trees, and oxygen for you and your grandchildren to breath, now!

Is it legal to drive a golf cart on a private course while intoxicated? I golf frequently at a private golf course near my house. They serve alcohol on the course (a snack cart drives around) and I sometimes see people bring their own flasks of liquor to the course. I often see people who are drunk driving the golf carts. Is it legal because it is on private property or could you get a DUI for that? I live in Colorado.

What are the best ways to sneak onto golf courses public and private? Don't reply telling me not to. I don't have enough money to pay $40 to $50 each time on want to play golf. I played competitive high school golf and now don't have the money because I'm in college. My strategies include late day golf, stealing Club Car keys, and sneaking on rainy days. What a load of crap. Sneaking onto a golf course when there's no one playing is the same thing as stealing a car? Trespassing is not a win lose economically. No one is losing money when you play free golf and respect the course like I do at off peak hours. I've gotten caught and no one has ever taken me to court. My law school frat brother says no course is going to pay a lawyer to prosecute some college kid. Please answer the question at hand.

What is the longest a golf ball can stay in a dog without the dog showing symptoms? Is there any possibility that a dog could swallow a golf ball a week ago and just be showing symptoms now? Just to add details, I called the vet when it happened, who gave symptoms to look for. Symptoms did not start occurring until a week later. Dog was then taken to the vet who removed the ball. The question was to determine if it could have been the same golf ball from a week ago, or potentially a different ball from just a couple days ago.

How risky is it to sell tickets to the Masters golf tournament on Ebay? The Augusta National Golf Club has stated it will revoke any member on their ticket list if they find that tickets have been scalped in any way. Is there a possible way, aside from purchasing the scalped tickets outright, that the club can find out who sold the tickets? I have been to the tournament many times before and they have never asked for ID once when checking-in. I was more concerned with them identifying me through Ebay. Is that possible since I have a screen name and do not use my real name? I would also be selling them for a relative and not myself.
