Vice golf balls how to#You could be so utterly uninformed about golf that you don't know why your glove wears out in the heel or so bad at the game that you ask for advice about how to play a scramble, but you can still have your very own company. Anyone here in the vast wasteland of golf knowledge can be in the golf business just that easily. No engineering, tooling or testing required, just a small charge for the new soleplate.

Other than building your own supercollider and going head-to-head with CERN there are almost no barriers to entry. In the modern world, it's pretty easy to enter any business. And if you try and fail, I understand, thinking isn't for everyone and you just might not be up to it. ![]() Hey, that sounds famuiliar, I bet some of you have even said something almost exactly like that in a context other than golf.
