professor Well, as a 14, you must either be fairly good & playing tough courses/wrong tees, or you just aren't that good. If you aren't that good(at scoring), a possible reason could be those balls are causing it. I just don't know. Even free, why play something that might be in the way of better scores? I wouldn't. I'm lower than 14 & ProV1s are very low on my list of balls to play.
