Subject: Old Golf Balls
I am about to pick up the game again, after a three year hiatus due to
a back injury. I have three dozen, very expensive balls, that are
approximately 3 1/2 years old.

Question: How much do they lose sitting around for that period of time
(they were indoors)?

Well, at least you'll have something to blame your shitty play on.

Like how the pins are to blame when you bowl poorly.

Google that question. I did, and found a website by Frank somethingorother
who worked at USGA lab for many years. His study found solid core balls lost
practically nothing after 10 years. Wound balls did, though.

Would have to assume the only thing different would be the technology
itself.

Nothing to speak of.
And certainly nothing at all that would compromise a 3 year old swing :)
