CREATING TRANSITIONS TO THE GOLF COURSE: In 2005 we first met Phil Mickelson Sr, at the PGA show in Orlando FL and talked about his San Diego Junior Golf Programs. In 2007 he was gracious enough to come to one of our shoots and tell us about how he uses the almostGolf ball to migrate his junior students from his in-school golf programs to the golf course as well as how this ball could have saved a lot of broken windows back when his son was learning to be a champion golfer in their legendary backyard.

Jeff Jones: Junior Golf Success Program

I have had a chance to use the almostGOLF ball for the last 10 weeks of my junior golf camp and the response from the players and the professional staff has been phenomenal. The durability and playability are great and the ball is sure to be at the top of our list of products we recommend for all of our junior golfers.  As a recipient of a PGA Growth of the Game grant, we will be using the ball in a number of local schools for our First Step to the 1st Tee Program.

Felix Rabanal: PGA Grow The Game Coordinator

The use of the almostGOLF ball has allowed us to reach inner city school kids in a way we never expected. It has opened our eyes to a new doorway for introducing the game of golf.  The kids in our 23 youth center programs around Albuquerque, NM are more interested in learning golf than kids who are exposed to golf courses and traditional programs. The programs built around the almostGOLF ball have had significant impact in growing the game and serving city youth center programs.

GROWING IN-SCHOOL GOLF PROGRAMS THROUGHOUT WISCONSIN: Carolyn and her husband Steve were one of the earliest PGA pros to begin taking the almostGolf ball into schools. To date they are in over 30 schools with dramatic results. Carolyn has proven that by eliminating all the traditional barriers to entry of time, money and travel, and bringing the fun of golf to the students is the fastest, least expensive and most tractionable way to grow the game of golf. Just one example is where they had one school where they couldn't get a single girl to come out and try golf. Today, in just four years, they have 60 girls in the program.

" almostGOLF is truly impacting the growth of the game. Their ball allows golf to be brought directly onto school campuses, where kids of all ages can experience the game in a fun, safe way. This type of exposure is instrumental in developing the next generation of life long golfers."

BRINGING GOLF TO SCHOOLS AND CORPORATE CAMPUSES: Scott Kmiec, Executive director of the New Jersey PGA discusses how the almostGolf ball has opened up a whole new world of proactive golf education by allowing PGA Professionals to reach out and take golf instruction off the course and to hundreds of schools and corporate campuses across the state. This new level of convenience has made it possible to expose golf to thousands of new golfers who would normally not have been able to try the great game of golf.

Forget 'Swiss-Cheese' practice balls
 

"A few months ago I received a dozen almostGOLF Balls through my affiliation with the Tour Players Club. My friends and I are having great fun using them for practice. I have a net in my backyard and use these without any fear of ripping a real ball through the net. I still get the same impact and feel, which allows for effective practice. My neighbor and I hit them back and forth from our front yards some 100 yards apart. I would really like to order a couple of dozen as they make a nice gift for my friends. Keep up the good work, this is a great product."

"Forget swiss-cheese plastic balls, or solid ones with a seam.  These practice shells are the answer to your backyard nightmares.  You may not have a woodland out back, like Mo' Golf does, so invest in these rogues for indoor and outdoor practice.  We've bounced them off curios, windows, cats, and computer screens, with no breakage." 

     Buff-Golf.com

"Great practice ball for adults and children...Can be used around the house, backyards, indoors and alot of other applications. Have actually done a few tournaments for kids in the fields around their schools and have helped put clubs in hands of kids who would never have had the opportunity. Great item!"

"My 4-year-old is around the course all day.  The ball is ideal for him.  It is easier for him to hit it well."

     Mike Pullen
    
Owner, St. Augustine Shores Golf Club

"Trying to make sure we weren't seeing something that wasn't there, we took a handful of almostGOLF Balls out to St. Augustine Shores Golf Club and had a few random players try them out. Everyone who tried them liked them.  Accurate, good feel and sound.  The ball has true flight."

"Almost has game - almostGOLF Balls fly much farther than wiffle balls and mimic real golf ball spin, but are soft enough not to damage buildings. Good for backyard practice."

almostGolf balls are INCREDIBLE!
 
"Thank you so much!!! Incredible!!! I finally had the chance to give the balls a shot on the course. I had so much fun it was freaky.  I felt like I was playing a real and very expensive  course. The distance and trajectory on these balls was exactly what I had in mind. I think the (limited distance) course I played would be perfect for an almostGOLF Tour Championship. The response from people watching me play these balls has been overwhelming!  Everyone wants to try them and they all ask how they can get them. Another funny thing happened, my swing tempo has actually improved. Thus improving my ability in striking conventional golf balls. What a great side effect from playing almostGOLF.  I would love to buy more white almostGOLF Balls, so I can keep pushing your product and getting more people involved. What a great product !!!

I recently purchased a dozen almostGOLF balls hoping that they would work as advertised on the package. Within a few days I had the opportunity to practice with them and was AMAZED how well they worked. I was so pleased with the product that I ordered an additional five dozen and have enjoyed using the product ever since."

Just wanted to drop the almost golf company a quick email complimenting the point3 practice ball. I've tried numerous practice balls over the years (whiffle, foam, assorted plastic models) with much disappointment. That is, until I saw an ad with Dave Pelz endorsing the point3 practice golf ball. What a fantastic product! I was very surprised how such a simple product could help improve my golf game. Not only do the balls fly impressively far, the response of a hook or slice is easily seen. I really like the feel of a slight compression when hitting down into the ball. I use them weekly in my backyard. The carrying tube is an added plus. Kudos to team and continued success with the point3 practice balls.
