Course Details

Bala Golf Club is a private Philadelphia club that has provided golf to its members since 1901. The course became something special in the 1920's when famous course designer William S. Flynn was hired to take the existing nine hole course to a full 18 holes. There's no room for expansion on the site, so the Bala course has remained at Flynn's original 5,306 yards. The U.S. Women's Open was held here in 1952.

Telescopic Golf Ball Retriever

Balls can be expensive. There's nothing wrong with taking a few seconds to pull a ball or two out of one of those bleeping "penalty areas".

Garmin Approach S12 Golf Watch

This caddy on your wrist knows distances for over 42,000 courses. We doubt that Bones Mackay can even claim to have that much knowledge. And the Approach S12 is a bit cheaper than hiring Bones.
