Would a tennis ball have more volume than a golf ball?
On first analysis, the basketball would appear to have the higher ratio (regardless of units of measure due to its larger size).
But the situation could be interpreted as being rather more complicated than that. The tennis ball is thoroughly covered in very fine fibers, and the basketball has a surface that is dimpled. Both surfaces increase the surface area of their respective objects, but the high aspect ratio fibers of the tennis ball are massively more significant in this effect.
Thus, when considering the actual surfaces, the correct answer would appear to be the tennis ball, by a fairly large margin.
What are some good birthday gifts for him?
Wedding anniversary gifts are not the way to celebrate that special couple. Christmas gifts could also be a perfect way to commemorate the loving bond of a married couple. This magical holiday could be a wonderful time to help nurture the love between them and help you convey your blessings and wishes towards many more happier times together. Christmas gifts for a couple could be based on a special event. Instead of a mere material gift, this holiday time could be a wonderful opportunity to provide them with a romantic getaway or a quite dinner or outing to enjoy their time in each others company.

How do you chip a golf ball onto the green?
Use a club with a high amount of loft, usually a 7 iron or above and use it as almost a putting stroke. The objective is to carry the ball a short distance and let it run out to the hole. If on the fringe of a green and you decide to chip, I would prefer using a pitching wedge. Put the ball at the back of your stance and angle the club so that the shaft and grip is in front of the club face. For the back swing, take it back maybe 1-3 feet, depending on where the pin is. During the back swing, the shaft and grip must still be in front of the club face. When doing this swing you must only rotate your shoulders like a pendulum just like as when you are putting. If you hit it correctly the ball will slightly pop up 2-4 feet and roll maybe 2 feet.

What are the 5 most important golf tips you would give to a new person just starting golf?
1. Visit a practice range but only hit doing half swings with a 7-iron. Take it back so the club points straight behind you (3 o'clock) and swing to 9 o'clock. It will help you develop muscle memory during the most important part of your swing.
2. Don't move your head -- at all. These two things will help you get started!
- Take lessons.
- Take lessons.

Oh, and one more. "KEEP YOUR HEAD DOWN" Not trying to be a jerk but this is a tough sport if you want to get good and have more fun.
I wouldn't necessarily say take lessons, especially if you are just a weekend warrior like a lot of players out there are. Lessons can cost countless amounts of your hard earned money and also, there is no guarantee that you will benefit a bit out of it. All I can say is always make sure that you are enjoying what you are doing, because if you can't do that then chances are it isn't the right thing for you. And also, don't make the same mistake I did years ago when I started playing, whatever you do, don't try to mimic someone else's swing for any club, that will only lead to trouble and since it isn't your original swing, there isn't much you can tell yourself about the swing or how to fix it. Good luck, and I hope you come to enjoy the game of golf like the rest of us have.
1. Take 3-5 lessons per year
2. Buy used clubs, not new
3. concentrate and focus
4. practice putting as much as irons and driving
5. Don't cheat your score or you'll really never know how good you are
1.) Learn to put first for feel and distance control. 2.)Learn to chip form the from the apron of the green to understand how adding loft to the club effects the ball. 3.)Learn to pitch with a sand wedge for the same reason as #2 and learn this shot from 15-70 yards. 4.) Learn the longer shots first with 6,7 or 8 iron and contact the grass after the ball. 5.) Do not use a driver for the first year and save on a lot of frustration and lost golf balls. The Driver is the club that has ruined many a beginners swing.1. Hold the club as lightly as possible. Never squeeze the handle. You will snap hook it left or slice it right if you do, and you'll rarely know which one is coming next.2. S-S-L-L-O-O-W-W D-D-O-O-W-W-N. Everyone knows that more clubhead speed equals more distance, so beginners (and some not-so-beginners) tend to swing as hard as they can. Fact is, solid contact with a "square club face" at impact will produce amazing distance even at slower swing speeds. Try it. You'll love actually playing from the fairway.
3. Think about swinging smoothly THROUGH the ball, not hitting the ball.
4. Concentrate your practice sessions on pitching and chipping from a variety of lies around the green (rough, fairway, sidehill, downhill, uphill) and from putting between three and six feet. Nothing will save you more strokes.
5. If you're a guy, "tame your testosterone" a bit. Don't play from the blue or black tees when you are just starting out. The middle tees will do just fine. Don't assume you need a stiff or XX shaft just because you weigh over 200 pounds. A regular shaft may work perfectly if you slow down and swing smoothly.
1. Work backwards(start putting then chipping then driving) 2. Take your time. 3. Practice as much as possible 4. Experiment with the right clubs for you 5. PracticeI think the best tip that I ever had was to practice, practice, practice. There are a number of golf tuition course and classes available. Previously, I had really struggled to play golf, however, once I started to practice with a trained instructor I began to have a lot more success. If you are serious about improving as a playing I can only suggest finding a good teacher and this will help you improve at golf much quicker than learning from a book or video.Yeah, I agree with everything stated above. A good site I would recommend for references would be: www.mygolfsets.com
1) Know the basics of golf.(You can enroll on a class or have a professional trainor) 2) Observed what and how they are doing in the field. 3) take it slow 4) Be serious on what you are learning. 5) Practice more often. Just like in a singing contest,everybody starts on amateur.. GOODLUCK!

You should swing it like an iron because normally its not used on a tee, if you swing it like a drive on a fareway then you are going to miss the ball.

Hogan's alley - cutting a short walking path on the golf course?
Although attributed to Hogan, the answer below is more likely.
"In the days before hydraulics, superintendents would mow a tee box and then before progressing to the next one (or to the fairway), would have to take the mower out of gear, get off the mower, manually lift the cutting deck and then get back on the mower and proceed. As you might expect, this took time and slowed down the process. Superintendents then decided to just mow the strip rather than lifting the deck. It became a more efficient process for superintendents and the by-product was that golfers did not have to walk through the tall rough. He remembers this from just prior to the 1950s as his father did this at his course."

How long is David Duval exempt?
He is exempt through 2006. He received a five year exemption for his win at the 2001 British Open.
It is correct that David Duval is exempt through 2006 because of his British Open win in 2001, however, since he is also currently #20 on the Career PGA Tour Money List that means that he is also eligible for a one-time one year exemption once his regular exempt status ends. Follow David Duval's journey this year at www.duval2006.com - we are dedicated to covering his progress this year and we feel that he will re-emerge as one of the top players on the PGA Tour.
UPDATED as of 09/18/2008 - The new website is www.davidduval.org - And the answer to this question (as of 09/18/2008) is that David Duval has the Top 50 in Career Earnings List exemption that can be used as a one-time exemption. The 2007 season was covered by the Top 25 Career Earnings List exemption. The 2008 season was covered by the Major Medical Exemption (due to the difficult pregnancy for David's wife). The 2009 season can be covered by the normal exemption rules (Top 125, Win a PGA Tour event, etc.), and could also be covered by the Top 50 in Career Earnings List exemption if necessary if none of the regular exemptions are obtained.

What is the average walking distance in golf?
The average golf course in the United States is approximately 7,200 yards, give or take a 100 depending on the handicap.
---------------
You forgot to take into account the distance between holes which can add as much as 2000-3000 yards depending on the course. As someone who has played golf for 30 years (most of it walking) I would say the average distance to walk a course from the 1st tee to the 18th green is 6-7 miles.
