Only Utica Urban Golf SAFETY BALLS are allowed in Utica Urban Golf. After all, safety and respect are paramount.  These balls are sold as ALMOST GOLF POINT3 ball. They have been called “the ultimate practice ball” and are well known for their limited distance, softness, light weight, and safety.  Their website says the ball is, “completely safe for off-course practice and play.” They go on to say, “Our ball is safe for kids and the ideal tool for schools and youth organizations.”  Our experience confirms that.  That’s why no other ball is allowed.

Small quantities (tubes of 24, 10 packs) are available, as are larger
quantities (36 packs).

Almost Golf Point3 SAFETY BALLS are the OFFICIAL ball of www.UticaUrbanGolf.com.

We find these SAFETY BALLS to play authentically (with limited distance) while being soft, low density, and, ultimately, safe.  They roll on asphalt, but not forever. They drive properly, but lose energy relatively quickly.  We've never caused any damage (and I personally drove one, full-strength, into the side of my Dodge Caravan from about 20 feet.  Not a mark, scratch, or dent).

Urban Golf scratches the soft balls up quickly.  They're good for about 1 round of 18 on the asphalt and grit. The yellow color is messy. It rubs off all over our hands, pockets, score cards, etc.  That needs to be dealt with ASAP.  And the plastic 36 Refill Pack container was so flimsy that it didn't survive shipping (the balls were OK, the clear plastic container fell apart within the cardboard overpack).  We consider both issues relatively minor.

These SAFETY BALLS look perfectly real.  So know that, when pedestrians see you teeing up a golf ball on Main Street, they have to assume you are using a REAL ball. If a kid on a bike is approaching, and you are chipping in their direction knowing that the ball is safe, they have to assume you are using a real ball.  Therefore, it is imperative for all Urban Golfers to make people aware of what you are doing, and that you are using a soft SAFETY BALL. Take a moment to stop, show the ball, discuss it, let them check it out.  Share information, make friends, and keep the sport alive.

In short: these SAFETY BALLS work so well they have been named the OFFICIAL ball of Utica Urban Golf dot com.
