Golf Ball and related experiments

Finally, I got my hands on a golf ball. The first time in my life. My friend had one used ball and he gave it to me. Just like that. Probably only because I had not held a golf ball in my hand before. :-)

I took the ball home and showed it to my 6 month old daughter. Now, she has not seen a ball earlier to this one. So, the first ball that she saw is a golf ball. And the size of the ball is such that she can completely hold it in her small palm. It was nice to watch her play with that ball.

Later in the evening, one of my cousins dropped by. Even he had not seen a golf ball earlier. So, when he held it, he looked at it for quite a while, bounced it and heard the sound it made and made a comment that I will never forget :
"For the weight that it seems to have, it makes quite a silly sound!"

And then, I took the camera out. Anything that catches my imagination shall and will be clicked. :-) And so here is the first snap that I clicked of that golf ball. Yeah! It is quite worn to look at. But, what the heck? It still is a golf ball. :-)

What followed this one was pure delight. But you have to check the "Reflectarium" posts for my experiments with the camera. Check how the same golf ball looks in my pictures...
