Pigamingi: Which golf ball is the best for you?

I cringe every time I visit the pro and hear a golfer excitedly request for a Callaway, Titleist or a Wilson ball, by just uttering the brand name and not adding the model name.

If you walked into Motor Hub on Kiambu Road (seriously, it does exist!) and asked salesman Desagu to sell you “a Peugeot”, the cheeky comedian would look at you and wonder whether you have in mind your Grandfather’s indefatigable Peugeot 404 of Joginder Singh’s Safari Rally fame, your Dad’s Mount Kenya Cowboy’s Peugeot 504 Injection, Pike’s Peak record breaking 208 T16 or the new sporty Peugeot 508? The first two are extinct, so knowing Desagu, he would probably convince you take home an Olweda.
