A LOOK BACK AT THE EARLY YEARS...BEFORE THE ALMOSTGOLF BALL: This is to give a bit of a history lesson for anyone wondering where the almostGOLF ball was originated. The LMU almostGOLF Invitational was our first tournament ever! We played it with a blown practice ball that we injected with foam insulation and then dipped in tool handle rubber. Needless to say, it kind of stank...but people really got into it. We did the event to raise money for 9/11 fund, which gives you an idea of how long ago it was. The attention we received from sponsors and players ended up launching our ball company and forcing me (RP) to go from event promoter/producer to polymer engineer.(ouch) Two years later we had a ball that actually worked and is what you can play today and buy in stores...or in our store.
