Kral's Last Round

This was great - our buddy Kral has taken the pill and accepted a job at Microsoft, so he's moving up to Redmond. We had a "going away" round with him at Twin Oaks in San Marcos.

This is the first tee, with about 10 people watching. The exploding ball trick.



We didn't think we'd be able to pull this off. The ball is actually noticeably different than a standard golf ball. Slightly different size, and the dimples look funny. So my x-roomie Dean had a great idea. The night before, he had his daughters color and draw on that ball, plus a dozen real ones. So there were many to choose from this next morning -- we offered one to Kral, knowing which one we wanted him to take.

Check out these other pics and videos from the round, including the goofy putting ball, with strange weighting, to cause it to roll really funny.
