Product Description: Just when you thought it was safe to walk on the fairway, you hear a strange noise. Is it a bird? Is it a bomb? No-it's the new sound of golf. From the innovative, daredevil country that introduced bungee jumping comes a revolutionary new take on golf, NEW ZEALAND GOLFCROSS, a game where you shoot for goal instead of a hole, with a oval ball that really is smart. For many golfers, constantly assailed with information about the importance of the golf ball's perfect roundness, it comes as a surprise to learn that the oval golf ball is considerably more stable and significantly easier to control than its round counterpart. In NEW ZEALAND GOLFCROSS, author Burton Silver chronicles the evolution of this remarkable game, explains the unique flight properties of the oval ball, and offers shot-making tips and strategies to take out onto the course. With Silver as your caddy, you'll learn how to hit the ball straighter, longer, and with any degree of fade or draw. The deluxe presentation pack includes a competition-grade golfcross ball, along with a rubber tee adapter, so you can experience for yourself the advanced capabilities of the world's first oval golf ball. Beautifully photographed on specialized cross-country courses, this book and its amazing ball are a must for all golf lovers and anyone who likes to think outside the round.
