I just ran across this recently, but I guess it's pretty common now.

Golf ball carving?!

Last I looked a golf ball's innards as a kid, there was a little ball in the center which was wound with fine rubber strips all the way to the skin.

Guess that dates me....

This stuff is getting too weird. What ever happened to grabbing a stick off the ground and whittling it? Did we run out of sticks, or did we just get hungry?
