Golf Refugees - Black Ball Golf Competition

Golf Refugees, creators of the original black golf ball, are launching a competition to find the lowest score achieved by a golfer using a black golf ball.

Like us, Golf Refugees don’t like rules, so they’re going to keep the free to enter competition rules to a minimum.

This is a worldwide competition, and is open to anyone who plays 18 holes of consecutive golf using a black golf ball, between the 1st March 2009 and 30th September 2009.

Golf Refugees will announce the competition winner  on 5th October 2009.

And if free competition entry isn’t enough, if you contact Golf Refugees with your details and a pre-paid postage envelope, they will send you a free black golf ball.

After your round, all you have to do to, is send us a copy of your signed score card, and they will post all of the results on the Golf Refugees web site.

The winner will receive the ‘Best black ball golfer’ trophy and a selection of prizes including golf balls, clothing etc.

For more information contact Golf Refugees.

The original black golf ball is designed to perform in hot, sunny conditions, It is more visible in the air, but less visible on the ground. Larger than normal Golf Refugees ‘ white’ graphics are printed onto the black ball during manufacture to increase visibility on the ground.

Golf Refugees - the ORIGINAL black golf ball

Golf Refugees initially launched the original black golf ball in the USA, with features in leading style and fashion magazines including GQ USA. It was also used in pro-am events in California filmed by ESPN and played with by Alice Cooper and NFL football stars.

Nike launched their black golf ball some two years after Golf Refugees.

The idea behind the black golf ball created by Golf Refugees, came from a conversation with a leading golf ball engineer at Titleist. If you can increase the temperature of a golf ball’s core materials extra performance can be obtained. Is it also true that when golf balls are tested in laboratories they are usually heated in ovens to a least 23 degrees Celsius.

The warmer a golf ball gets the more efficiently it will transfer energy. Golf balls materials behave in a visco-elastic manner, when contracted during impact they are designed to return to their original shape through rapid expansion. This process becomes more efficient at higher temperatures. The original black golf ball is of 2-piece construction. Where it’s ultra-thin black cover absorbs as much heat energy as possible from the sun in combination with the higher conducting metal-mix core increases the operating temperature
and hence energy transfer efficiency to gain extra distance in hot, sunny conditions.

The original black golf ball is designed to perform in hot, sunny conditions, It is more visible in the air, but less visible on the ground. Larger than normal Golf Refugees ‘ white’ graphics are printed onto the black ball during manufacture to increase visibility on the ground.

Well take a look at the Nike Golf Europe website. At the bottom centre of the Home page is an image link to Juice Holiday. Click and watch a series of “juice” tests supervised and controlled under extreme laboratory conditions. Watch a Nike Juice 312 be fired through several different items inclusing a gingerbread house, bubblegum machine, birthday cake, a jar of mayonaise, and my personal favourite, a lava lamp.

Once you’ve given the videos a thumbs up, you can send the gingerbread test as an eCard. Watching the Juice Test makes me want to go and buy some Nike Juice 312 golf balls. Now that’s what I call good marketing!
