Default I took a do over :)
My first attempt at golf ball carving was not very good in my eyes, and since it was an ornament for my dad I decided to take a do over. Below is a picture of my first golf ball on the left and my second golf ball on the right. I am not sure there is a big difference other than maybe the eyes and nose.

Comments are always welcome, as I am just learning and trying different things.

Great improvement on the second try. Can you imagine what the tenth or the 100 hundredth will look like. Nice work.

Very nice on the second. If you wanted to make it a bit longer, you could glue a golf tee to the bottom ? I think it will look great on a tree...
