Had a good friend of mine from up north that had tickets to "Augusta Nationals Masters" and was unable to use them.He was kind enough to forward them on south to me.While watching the round seen these golf balls and had a idea on how to use one.This one will be going to my good friend up north.

I like it Mark!

I really like how you've blocked in the facial structure prior to diving into the details. Your foundation will make the face turn out great.

Great start Mark! Sure will be a nice gift! I'm sure you enjoyed watching the Masters. Look forward to seeing how this one turns out!

This might just be better than ball-in-the-cage!

Great imagination in creating a story from some golf balls. Good one!

[mbevington]

Mark, It looks like a great strat. How do you get the golf ball in the cage?

[Mark N. Akers]

Really their is nothing to it,you drill two
1 1/4" holes on all 4 sides of the piece of 2".Then by the grain I will decide which side is the front,and carve the back hole to 1 3/8".Soak the wood in water for about 30 min. and take the ball and put a little pressure on it on the 1 3/8" side,it will pop in.Let dry over night and then carve.Something I left out you will need to clean up the openings before you put the ball in.

Bet Tiger Woods' caddy is still wondering where that ball went. Very nice carving. Your friend should be very pleased. Good job!!!

Mark, Now I like that! And that is one I will try, just like you said - if you don't mind. Muirfield Tournament is about 3 miles from me. Tom H
