Golf Refugees: I Love These Guys & Their Multi-chromatic Balls

We've written about Golf Refugees numerous times over the past few years, which isn't surprising as they tend to come up with innovative, exciting products quite regularly. In addition, their unyielding commitment to environmental sustainability is remarkable... and "making golf greener" is something that anyone who loves the game should be thinking about.

The UK based indie eco golf brand produces an awesome, edgy collection carbon neutral organic cotton polos and t-shirts,  and recently introduced a gorgeous line of hand-dyed, striped polos that one can customize to create a beautiful, bespoke golf shirt.
Golf Refugees also produces the BinBag, my favorite golf accessory... ever.

It was their elegant black balls, however, that first caught my eye several years back, making me an instant fan, and now in the spirit of multi-chromatic awesomeness come spiral graphic golf balls.

"These are golf ball designs from Golf Refugees, I want these more than I want anything" 
That was the immediate response from one of their Facebook fans.  I second the emotion... and their awesome looks are the only things these kaleidoscopic orbs have going for them. According to the ball's designer, the line that's created where the clockwise spiral on one side meets the counter-clockwise spiral on the other, serves as a natural alignment aid. How cool is that?  I'm guessing these balls would be easier to find than less brilliant balls... and I'm hoping the double spiral design may just have a hypnotic effect that'll help me get "into the zone" when I'm standing over it.

Golf Ball Painting: An Artistic Autumnal Activity

Here in New England the month of October is know for crisp, clear days and dramatic displays of fall foliage... and the many hues of Autumn make the final weeks of our waining golf season uniquely wonderful.  However there is a bit of downside to the seasonal display... particularly for golfers who have difficulty keeping their balls on fairways.  Such players quickly learn that those gorgeous golden leaves have a voracious appetite for golf balls...fallen foliage will devour your small dimpled sphere without leaving a trace, which can be... frustrating.

I know that frustration first-hand unfortunately but I still charmed when I came upon this whimsical idea for an activity that makes the meeting of golf balls and autumnal colors into an awesome fall art project for kids.  Little Linksters myself included are sure to love this one.
