acrazygolfer Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 The price for regular grade gas reached $3.11 here in Southern California. This is ridiculous given that Exxon last year paid its CEO $69.7 million or $190,915 a day, including weekend. With crude oil at $71 a barrel, it won't be long before the price of golf balls would sky rocket since ball components are made of petrol products. Golf balls require Surlyn and other polymers and copolymers, each a derivative of oil-based processes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because they work really hard to deliver a great product at an affordable price. :tsg_smilie_rolleyes: Edited April 19, 2006 by the1stunner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
