    From the Amer. Herit. Dict. 5th Ed.:

    balata – The nonelastic rubber obtained from the latex of the South American tree Manilkara bidentata. It was formerly used in the manufacture of golf-ball covers and machine belts.

    If you are a duffer/hacker like me, balata balls cut too easily. I haven’t used any since the 70’s. That’s probably when they were discontinued.

    The thing about golf is the better at it you are the less you hit the ball.

    So why do it at all?
