help - golf balls

[Thomp]

Im thinking, maybe to boil the golf balls to warm the outer skin, might be a little less risky than nuking them, especally if your doing multible balls at once, the volume of hot water would keep them warm longer, if you took the mess to the shop where you could use the vice to hold the ball while you cut off the casing...

this reminds me of a childhood experiment.
as a kid i lived close to a golf corse/ driving range, we use to go fish out the balls from a lake on the corse with a dip net and sell them back to the range for movie money,
but that was long ago, few of the balls were already cut
(we thought that was what slice the ball meant)
and were useless, i would bring them home for my younger brothers,
one day we decided to cut one, so i was making a short cut and it popped open, i cut my thumb and the core of the ball flew out and unwound all over the kitchen, the cat got involved wound up in the long rubber band and it hollered, mom come rushing into this scene, i was tending the deep cut on my thumb, my 2 brothers rolling around on the floor laughing at the cat and the suprizing event that just unfolded in front of them, needless to say we never opened another golf ball in the house after mom swatted us and put us all in our proper corners,,

but, my brothers had cuts on there hands and that cat stayed tyed up in golf ball rubber bands nearly all summer...

since then i opened one golf ball that squirted something in my eye and i gave up..

which balls have the solid cores again?

I used to drive a farm tractor with a grass cutter on the back that they called a flail. It had L shaped cutters in it that rotated very fast and cut the grass and anything else in its way. I drove the tractor for the local school district and did a lot of cutting at the area schools and at the large football/baseball field. The area golfers use the field to practice golf. They would lose their balls in the high grass. The balls could not be found until I ran the flail over them. At that time I coulld hear the balls exploding. I was told that golf balls do explode. I was also told that baseballs explode. I did hear them explode and the result was a large bit of golf ball pieces spread over a large area. I don't think I'd cook a golf ball in my microwave oven.

Have you tried "flailing " them? It's much more fun. You could run the power mower over them too. It's a blast!
