TIDBITS® CONSIDERS POTATOES

& Party Rentals

by Janet Spencer The potato is a member of the deadly nightshade family and its leaves are indeed poisonous. The tuber is not poisonous in the least, but it took a lot to overcome cultural fears surrounding the plant. Come along with Tidbits as we consider the humble but miraculous potato.

• Potatoes originated in the Peruvian Andes. The Incas called them batatas. They were eating potatoes 2,000 years before Columbus set sail. There are over 5,000 kinds of potatoes growing in the Andes— so many types that the local language has 1,000 different words for potato. The Incas even measured time by how long it took a potato to cook. When the Spanish Conquistadors overran the land, they had never seen anything like the potato. They were forced to eat the strange new food when their own food supplies ran low. The potatoes they introduced to Europe turned out to be far more valuable than the gold that they killed for, but it took some doing to convince the European populace to try them out.

• In 1744 Prussia was at war and Frederick the Great was distressed to see his people starving to death. He had earlier been introduced to the potato as a food crop, and he encouraged the peasants to grow the new food as well. The peasants did grow them— but they only fed them to their livestock.

• So the ruler had his cooks invent recipes using the potato, and passed copies of the recipes out to everybody. Still the people would not eat the potato. Finally Frederic resorted to the threat of violence: he issued an edict that anyone who did not eat potatoes would have their ears cut off. Potatoes quickly became the most important part of the Prussian diet.

• When French pharmacist Augustine Parmentier was captured during the Seven Year War in the mid-1700s, he was thrown into prison where his Prussian captors fed him little besides potatoes. He remained in good health in spite of the limited diet.

When he was released, he returned home and encouraged all French families to start eating potatoes. He went to the King of France with a plan to grow potatoes and feed them to the hungry. The King was not impressed, but he consented to give Parmentier a few acres of the worst possible land near Paris.

Nothing would grow there— nothing, that is, except potatoes, which thrived. Like the Prussians, the French people thought of potatoes as simply a food for livestock, so Parmentier devised scheme to change the tide of public opinion.

• Operating under the principle that people only want what they can’t have, he stationed soldiers around the potato field in order to “protect” this valuable crop from theft. However, he instructed the soldiers to take bribes and allow peasants to steal potatoes. The plan worked, and soon potatoes were growing all over the countryside. Next, Parmentier threw a huge feast, inviting all the most prominent names of the day. Everything served at the feast was made from potatoes - from soup to dessert. The Queen even wore potato flowers in her hair. This was all that was needed to make the potato a socially acceptable food.

• Potatoes didn’t gain popularity in America until Thomas Jefferson began serving them regularly at the White House. Then the potato caught on fast, with good reason. The potato is one of the most perfect natural sources of nutrition found so far. The average potato has 100 calories and provides 50% of the U.S. Recommended Daily Allowance of vitamin C; 20% of vitamin B6; 15% of iodine; 10% of niacin, iron and copper; and smaller amounts of other vitamins and minerals. Potatoes are high in potassium and fiber but have no fat and are almost salt free.

• No other food matches the potato in food energy per acre. Potatoes produce 75% more food energy per acre than wheat and 58% more than rice. The Soviet Union grows the most potatoes, followed by Poland, the US, and Canada. Only corn grows in more countries than potatoes. It’s the fourth most important food worldwide, after wheat, rice, and corn. It’s also is the only vegetable that grows in the desert and in mountains above 14,000 feet. The value of the potato worldwide exceeds $100 billion a year.

• Potatoes have many uses. They are used in the production of many kinds of foods. They are added to soups, sauces, pasta, baked goods and dairy products in order to help foods stick together, stop ice crystals from forming, and make food creamier.

When used to make ethyl alcohol (ethanol), one acre of potatoes can produce enough gas to fill up 25 station wagons. A product made from potatoes is used by oil well drillers in order to keep their drills dry enough to keep the friction high. Potato starch was used in the early days of color photography, and vodka is made from distilled potatoes. Potato starch is now being made into “plastic” bags which decompose when buried. Potatoes are also used in manufacturing of plastics, medicines, paper, cloth, glue, and candy.

S’mores Are Treat That Can’t be Beat Vacations are excellent memory-makers. Along with hiking, biking and swimming, eating together can provide unforgettable family moments. Take, for instance, the time one of my sons created his stupendous summer s’mores stack-up contest -- squishing those gooey, toasted marshmallows between milk chocolate and graham crackers and stacking them as high as they can go in 30 seconds. The highest stack wins! I never won, and it was probably because I never got past the chocolate.

New tips and ideas come out of good memories. Here are a few to add to your campfire traditions: CAMPFIRE S’MORES HAND PROTECTORS When roasting marshmallows over a campfire, a disposable foil pie plate on each stick can provide some protection against the heat from the coals. Poke a hole in the middle of a large or small disposable foil pie plate and insert it onto the middle of a toasting stick. To identify one another’s toasting sticks, children can decorate their pie plate with fun designs and their name or initials. Use non-toxic permanent paint pens. Or, simply poke holes into a large pie plate to create your favorite constellations that may be revealed through the firelight.

Tip: After preparing a meal on a backyard grill, roast marshmallows over the coals just as you would do at a campfire.

NEW CREATIONS Challenge one another to create your own recipe. To get you started, here are a couple of my favorite twists inspired by recipes from Hershey’s.

Peanut Butter S’mores -- Spread a thin layer of peanut butter on half of a graham cracker, and top with half of a milk-chocolate bar, a toasted marshmallow and half of a graham cracker.

Vary it by adding banana slices.

Apricot Coconut S’mores -- Spread a thin layer of apricot jam on half of a cinnamon graham cracker. Add a sprinkle of coconut. Top with milk-chocolate bar, a toasted marshmallow and half of another cinnamon graham cracker.

Black Forest S’mores -- Spread a thin layer of cherry-pie filling on half of a chocolate graham cracker topped with a Hershey’s Special Dark Semi-Sweet Chocolate bar, another layer of pie filling and a toasted marshmallow.

Speedier VA Claims Why would a veteran not send in all supporting evidence at the time of filing a claim with the Department of Veterans Affairs? Apparently it happens, because to help get faster decisions, the VA now is setting up a new initiative, and a new acronym: FDC, for Fully Developed Claim.

Until now, you’ve had a choice of different types of claims: Original Disability, New Disability, Reopened Disability, Increased Disability, Secondary Disability and Special.

Each has different requirements and evidence.

Now veterans can “simply submit all required records and documentation at the time they make their claim and certify that they have no further evidence,” according to the VA website. Veterans Service Officers with the American Legion and Disabled American Veterans will provide assistance.

It sounds good: The FDC is an “effective way to ensure a Veteran’s claim never reaches the backlog,” says the VA, and can cut in half the time it takes to process a claim.

Meanwhile, the VA has begun to prioritize claims. Veterans whose claims have been sitting for more than a year have been given provisional decisions so they can begin collecting compensation. They have one year to submit additional information. Additionally, overtime has been mandated to process claims for homeless veterans, the terminally ill, former prisoners of war, Medal of Honor recipients -- and the Fully Developed Claims.

For step-by-step instructions on creating a FDC, go online to www.benefits.va.gov/fdc/ and follow the walkthrough link on the right.

Best bet: File electronically at eBenefits.va.gov. If you need to do it by paper, you’ll need VA Form 21-526EZ, available at your VA regional center. Call 1-800-827-1000 to get started and to find the location of your nearest accredited Veterans Service Officer (VSO) to help with your claim.

Atrial Flutter Puts Heart in Overdrive DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I have been diagnosed with atrial flutter. My cardiologist wants to perform a catheter ablation on me and says it’s a safe procedure. Do you agree?

-- B.L. ANSWER: Atrial flutter is a very rapid heartbeat. The atria, the two upper heart chambers, beat 260 to 300 times a minute. The lower heart chambers, the right and left ventricles, the heart’s pumping chambers, beat at half that rate, still a fast heartbeat.

Atrial flutter differs from atrial fibrillation, a more common heart-rhythm disturbance, in the regularity of the heartbeat.

Atrial fibrillation is both an irregular and fast heartbeat. Atrial flutter is a regular and fast beat.

Fatigue, lightheadedness and shortness of breath are some of atrial flutter’s symptoms.

The heart can’t be allowed to sustain such rapid beating. Ablation, the destruction of heart tissue responsible for the speedup, is an excellent way to put an end to flutter. The heart doctor with a specially equipped catheter advances this thin, pliable tube from a surface blood vessel into the heart. When the doctor has the catheter at the right position, he or she turns on radio waves that create scars in the renegade part of the atrium. The abnormal rhythm stops. The success rate is 90 percent. I wouldn’t hesitate for a minute to have it done.

The booklet on heartbeat irregularities explains the more common kinds of heartbeat disturbances. To obtain a copy, write: Dr. Donohue -- No. 107W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery. *** DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Years ago, on one of the morning news shows, I heard people talking about taking a vitamin or mineral to keep mosquitoes from biting. Do you know what that is?

Mosquitoes prefer my blood. I do not want to use some type of poison, like a repellent. -- P.J. ANSWER: Vitamin B-1, thiamine, has been touted as a way to discourage mosquitoes from biting. No proof of this exists, and I have serious doubts about this advice.

Exhaled carbon dioxide attracts mosquitoes, as do other body chemicals and body heat. You don’t have to fear repellents. They aren’t poison. They don’t kill mosquitoes. They drive them away -- repel them. Ones with DEET work well. Or if you want a natural product, try Repel. It contains oil of lemon eucalyptus. *** DEAR DR. DONOHUE: My concern is “tan without the sun” lotions. The “bronzers” work over a period of hours. If they were simple dyes, the color change would be immediate. It isn’t. It takes hours before an effect is noticeable.

Do they bring a natural skin pigment to the surface, and do they protect from the sun? -- A.R. ANSWER: Most of these products contain dihydroacetone, which reacts with cells in the topmost layer of skin and imparts the tan hue to it. It fades as these cells are shed. The color change does not protect against sunlight.

These bronzers are not skin dyes.

Pet Surgery DEAR PAW’S CORNER: We recently took in a stray dog. “Walt” had a few minor health issues that are being addressed, but he also needs to be “fixed.” The veterinarian says it shouldn’t be a difficult operation, once he’s ready for it, but Walt is a fully grown dog heading into his senior years. What problems should I be on the lookout for, just in case? -- Hannah in Trenton, N.J. DEAR HANNAH: The operation to neuter Walt should be pretty routine. But if you have any concerns, definitely ask the veterinarian about them. It sounds like the vet is holding off on

the operation while some specific health concerns are addressed, which means he is making sure that potential complications from the surgery are handled ahead of time.

Prior to any surgery, a vet clinic will do blood work to make sure a pet safely can be given anesthesia. Your vet may have done this already during Walt’s initial visit, once it was clear he would need to be fixed.

Once Walt is ready for the operation and a date is scheduled, the office should give you instructions. You probably will be told not to feed him for 12 hours before the operation. After the operation, he’ll be kept under observation in recovery until it’s deemed safe for him to go home. Walt still will probably be groggy for several hours afterward. For the next five to seven days, he will need to recover in a quiet spot at home, with minimal activity.

Again, the vet clinic should be informative and communicative about the surgery. Contact it with any questions or concerns before and after Walt’s procedure.

A diet study has revealed some promising news for those who are at “high vascular risk,” meaning they have a greater chance of developing Alzheimer’s disease due to high blood pressure, diabetes, hypertension, heart disease or smoking. Spanish scientists found that a Mediterranean diet can benefit cognitive function -- the ability to process thoughts -- more so than a plain low-fat diet.

The participants (average age 69) were assigned different diets for six years.

One, a Mediterranean diet, included extra-virgin olive oil and mixed nuts.

The results for those on that diet were “statistically significant.” It’s thought that the diet not only reduced cognitive impairment, but also slowed its progression to dementia.

Additionally, heart attack, stroke and related deaths were down by 30 percent. The key ingredient: olive oil. Apparently, a chemical in olive oil (polyphenol) clears plaque buildup from the brain seen in Alzheimer’s disease.

The Mayo Clinic likes the Mediterranean diet, too. Its website cites research showing that the diet was associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular mortality, cancer, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases.

What does the Mediterranean diet consist of? A lot of vegetables. Lots and lots of vegetables. Specifically: Plant-based foods such as vegetables and fruits -- nine servings a day Grains, rice, pasta and no-salt nuts Whole-grain bread dipped in olive oil Virgin or extra-virgin olive or canola oil instead of butter No salt -- instead use herbs and spices Red meat no more than a few times a month Fish and poultry at least twice a week Fatty fish, such as mackerel, tuna and salmon, high in omega-3.

Go online for recipes or check your library for Mediterranean diet cookbooks. Ask if your doctor thinks this kind of diet would be appropriate for you.

¥ It was American industrialist Henry Ford who made the following sage observation: “Whether you think that you can, or that you can’t, you are usually right.” ¥ It took Leonardo da Vinci four years to complete his iconic painting the “Mona Lisa.” ¥ If you’re planning a trip to the United Kingdom this summer, you might want to add a side trip to Llanfair in Wales. The town’s Welsh name is llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantsiliogogogoch, which means, roughly, “Saint Mary’s Church in a hollow of white hazel, close to a whirlpool and Saint Tysilo’s Church and near a red cave.” The sign at the railway station that has the town’s name is 20 feet long. ¥ The next time you’re aviating in Alaska, keep in mind that in that state it’s illegal to view a moose from the window of any flying vehicle.

Q: My propane grill doesn’t seem to have the same oomph anymore. It takes a long time to heat up, and the flame seems low even on the high setting. Is there anything I can do, or should I just go invest in a new grill? -- Lucas G., Pittsburgh A: If the burner (or burners) looks clean and in good condition, the issue may be that the flow of gas from the propane tank to the grill is restricted. There are a couple of common reasons for this.

One problem is a poor connection between the grill and the supply tank. Or, the overpressure device -- located on the propane tank’s regulator -- might have been activated.

The overpressure device was implemented on all LP (liquid propane) tanks in 1995. Its purpose is to keep you safe in the event of a gas leak -- due to a damaged line, tank or other issue -- by restricting gas flow. However, the device

inadvertently can be activated. For example, turning the grill’s control knobs to the “on” position before opening up the control knob on the propane tank can sometimes trigger the device.

Fortunately, the fix for this (and for the connection) is pretty simple. Open the grill lid and turn off all the control knobs on both the grill and the propane tank. Disconnect the regulator from the propane tank, being careful not to damage or strip the connecting nut. (Wrap a soft rag around the nut if you need to use pliers to loosen it.) Wait 30 seconds, then reconnect the regulator, being careful not to overtighten or damage the connection. Test the gas flow by opening the tank’s valve all the way -- if you smell gas at this point, close the valve and re-tighten the regulator connection. If all seems fine, then light the grill according to manufacturer instructions.

Home Tip: Keep propane cylinders from being damaged by placing them out of the way of foot traffic and near to the ground. If they’re dented or the regulator is damaged, take the cylinder to a dealer for exchange or repair.

¥ What’s in a name? Well, a great deal, it would seem -- at least according to those trying to make it big. Joan Crawford was born Lucille La Sueur, Roy Rogers was Leonard Slye, and Dean Martin was Dino Crocetti. Issur Danielovitch (wisely) changed his name to Kirk Douglas, and Archibald Leach decided he preferred to become famous as Cary Grant. ¥ Before 1948 on the island of Bermuda, cars were forbidden. ¥ You might be surprised to learn that the cowboy hat was not as widespread in the Old West as might be assumed from watching old movies. The most popular headwear on the frontier was the bowler hat. The bowler had the advantage of stability; it wouldn’t blow off in high winds.

It was worn by Bat Masterson, Billy the Kid, Black Bart and Butch Cassidy. *** Thought for the Day: “The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it.” -- Oscar Wilde

¥ Family reunions are fun and worthwhile. Being together with many generations is a wonderful experience. Often, these gatherings are highly scheduled, but remember to set aside time -- and a designated place -- to simply sit and talk.

Here are some other great family reunion tips from our readers. -- JoAnn ¥ T-shirts are fun for reunion memorabilia, but we also did water bottle koozies this year, and they were a big hit. You can write your name in permanent marker on one side, and then you can keep track of your bottle. -- B.F. in Georgia ¥ We find that when planning our reunion, the young adults really like theme parties, so we always have a mixer theme night

to start. We had a scavenger hunt for the children, where we collected clues about some of our more senior family members. To figure out who it was, the kids would listen to them tell stories and ask questions. What a great time for all! -- T.E. ¥ Make sure that you schedule sitters for the little ones so that the adults can relax and participate. Last year, each adult with kids (and some who just wanted to help out) took shifts to be official kid wranglers and entertainers. They did an outstanding job, and the unscheduled parents had time to reconnect with adults without dividing their attention. It felt good that someone was designated “in charge.” -- P.G. in California ¥ Our family has several members with allergy restrictions and alternative food requirements. I made sure to write up a list, which I made copies of and passed along to all our planned food venues. This way, there was advance notice for those who needed gluten-free and vegetarian options. -- M.S. in Florida

HOLLYWOOD -- Tom Cruise has decided not to star in the remake of the classic ‘60s TV series “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.” in order to concentrate on “Mission Impossible: 5.” Director Guy Ritchie (Madonna’s ex) is zeroing in on Henry Cavill, flying high as Superman in “The Man of Steel,” to team with “The Lone Ranger” Armie Hammer as a pair of secret agents. *** Openly gay James Duke Mason, son of pop star Belinda Carlisle and Morgan Mason (son of James Mason of “A Star is Born” with Judy Garland, etc.), has been cast by director Matthew Mishory (“Joshua Tree, 1951: A Portrait of James Dean”) in the noir thriller “Disappear Here.”

When they needed additional money, Morgan came on board to produce, as he did in 1989 for “Sex, Lies, and Videotape” with James Spader.

Meanwhile, Francesca Gregorini, daughter of Bond girl Catherine Bach and step-daughter of Ringo Starr, will direct “Emanuel and the Truth about Fishes.” The film premiered at The Sundance Film Festival and stars Justin Timberlake’s blushing bride, Jessica Biel, along with Alfred Molina and Kaya Scodelario (of the British TV series “Skins” and last year’s remake of “Wuthering Heights”).

And speaking of remakes, the latest film becoming a musical is “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” aka “Willy Wonka.” The title role is so demanding that four boys will alternate in the part, as they did in “Billy Elliot.” The show opens June 25 in London at The Drury Lane Theatre. *** The Chateau Marmont Hotel has always been a hangout for celebrities, such as Leonardo DiCaprio, who keeps an apartment there. “Life at the Marmont,” by Raymond Sarlot and Fred E. Basten, is a wonderful account of the good old days in Hollywood. First published in 1987, it has just been reissued by Penguin Books. Stories and anecdotes by Jill Jackson, who wrote this column before me for decades, are featured on no less than nine pages throughout the book. It’s available as an e-book or in soft cover at www.penguin.com. *** Sharon Stone isn’t thrilled with a full-page article by Hollywood & Swine in the showbiz magazine “Variety.” The headline reads “Sharon Stone Named Suspect in Cannes Jewel Heist.” The story, meant to be tongue-in-cheek, unfortunately points out that she hasn’t starred in a film since 2006 and questions why she was even at the Cannes Film Festival. Therefore, with no real reason to be there, except to see Michael Douglas in “Behind the Candelabra,” she must be the thief who stole $1.4 million in jewelry. In very small print they state, “This content was not produced by Variety, but we find it very funny.” Somebody must have been stone, but it wasn’t Sharon!

Some new reports say segments of the economy are springing back. Others aren’t so positive. Depending where you read: --Consumer attitudes are better than they’ve been in the past five years.

--Fewer people say that jobs are hard to get.

--Home prices are going up because there are more people trying to buy.

Or: --People are now feeling the results of the increased payroll tax and the bigger bite out of paychecks, and retail sales have fallen.

--Consumer confidence is falling.

--More people expect the unemployment rate to stay high.

How are things at your house?

If things are better for you, that’s great, but don’t let down your guard. Take our collective experiences of the past few years, and don’t make assumptions that the economy is going to continue to get better, if indeed it is. Here are some suggestions: --Watch the small expenditures, because they add up. If you’ve gone back to buying morning coffee out, calculate what you spend in a year. Use the public library instead of buying books on Amazon. Decide whether you need all those cable channels. Put a filter on your faucet instead of buying bottled water.

--Pay down your credit cards. Once one is paid off, either put that money on another payment or put it in savings every month. After your cards are paid off, save, save, save every dollar you can. Don’t cancel the cards, however, because that will lower your credit score.

--Don’t make credit-card purchases unless you know you can pay off the balance in three months. Consider whether you can instead save the money in three months and pay cash instead.

--Consider whether service work on your vehicle will keep it running a bit longer, instead of buying a new one.

--Review your tax deductions to make sure you don’t get a big refund at the end of the year. Getting a refund means you’ve given an interest-free loan to the government.

Do you hear a note of caution in all this? No matter what “consumer confidence” poll you read, you can find one that says the opposite.

Yes, it might give the economy as a whole a boost if millions of people run out and spend, spend, spend. But you’re not responsible for the economy. You’re only responsible for your home and family.

And being cautious about spending is still the way to go.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Count to 10 if you must, but don’t lose your temper, despite that person’s (you know who!) efforts to goad you into reacting. Your restraint will pay off in a big way.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This week finds you in a sociable mood, ready and eager to enjoy the company of family and friends. It’s also a good time to seek out and renew old friendships.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Patience is called for as you await a decision about that project you’re eager to launch. Meanwhile, try to set aside more time to share with that special person in your life.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Avoid becoming involved in a workplace dispute early in the week by insisting both sides submit their stands to a neutral arbitrator. Things begin to cool off by Thursday.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) It promises to be a busy but productive week for the Big Cat. The pace slows by Friday, allowing you to catch up on matters you put aside but that now need your attention.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A suddenly disruptive family situation is best handled with a cool, calm and collected response. Wait until things settle to let off all that pent-up emotional steam.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your practical side dominates the week as you reassess your finances to make some sensible adjustments in what you plan to spend and what you expect to save.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) An unexpected meeting with a former colleague opens some interesting possibilities. But you need to press for full disclosure before making a decision.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A recent flurry of activity eases by midweek, giving you time to readjust your disrupted schedule and make new plans for a weekend getaway.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) You’re usually the one who gives advice. But now it’s time to open yourself up to counsel from friends who have your best interests at heart.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) You might find resistance to your call for a full inquiry into a workplace problem. But by week’s end even the most rigid naysayers begin to come around.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A recurring problem surfaces once again. Maybe it’s time you used your creative talents to help you find a new approach to resolving it once and for all.

BORN THIS WEEK: You are guided in what you do both by your intelligence and your emotions. An acting career would suit you quite well.

Choose The Right Golf Balls For Your Game

By: Ronald Piper

If there is one aspect of your game that you can improve for very little money, it is choosing the right golf balls. Whilst you cannot improve your game massively without practice, patience and skill, getting the right golf balls can help speed up the process of improvement can give you an edge over your opponents. There are balls for every type of golfer, from those who require better control on the greens to golfers who want that extra bit of distance on their tee and iron shots. Whatever sort of game you have, here are some examples of the best golf balls around that will add something extra to your golf game.

Balls for practice

They have been in the golf business for 40 years and have been at their present location for 10 years.

Specializing in new and used custom brand name clubs.

Getting better at golf is all about practice, and so it is important to have a good stock of practice golf balls to use. These balls still need to be of a good quality, but ones that perhaps you don’t mind losing if shots go wrong. Practice balls are usually cheaper, and so it is advisable to buy them in larger amounts. You can also get softer or basic plastic balls to use in your garden on park to practice shots without damaging property or hurting people around you. These balls are great if you just want to practice your swing without going to the driving range or golf course.

Make sure you have a variety of practice balls to help you improve your game.

Balls for added control There are some golf balls on the market at the moment that are great for those players who need to add control to their game. If you have the power but lack accuracy, choose a golf ball that will help you hit straighter and keep those shots on the fairway. Many balls have the ability to cut out backspin, meaning you can be sure your balls will stop on the greens where you place them rather than running away from the hole.

Balls for distance Many of the golf balls on the market today are designed to give players more distance than ever before. These balls are hi-tech and can fly through the air at incredible speed. Particularly good for those players who can swing quickly, distance balls will allow you to hit the ball further than you have imagined doing before. If you are struggling with those par 5 holes and need the extra power, then a distance ball is a good choice.

Novelty balls Not all golf balls are about serious technology and features though. There are plenty of interesting novelty balls on the market as well. From balls that flash and light up when they are hit to balls shaped like American footballs, there is something for everyone in the novelty ball market. If you want to have a little fun with your golf game, then novelty balls are a great item to purchase.
