Nothing, that seems like a good way to go if you're young and want to travel and enjoy your life whilst young.

I dontknow what kind of level you play to or what your handicap even is (silly US handicap system ) but what i do know, is that these balls perform quite a lot worse than a brand new 1x, or even standard v1.

saying that though, if youre just having a casual knock about with your friends, you'll be more than happy to take the added value of the downpriced refurbs

i order from lostgolfballs.com and order the highest grade they offer and ime ive never noticed a lack of performace, i occasionally get new ones as gifts etc and play with them and haven't noticed a difference

im about a 7 handicap (not that i think that is impressive or anything, just good enough to realize, you aren't that great)

I was conceptualizing the $1 million as your starting roll, with winnings being reinvested in the roll, minus living expenses.

So the question then would be how likely you are to have a $1m drawdown from your starting roll, factoring in the constant drain of living expenses.

But actually this is not what we normally mean by bankroll requirements. If the idea is you need to start with X amount but can spend anything in excess of that that you ever manage to accumulate then your requirement is a lot higher, because over a playing career your likelihood of having a $1m drawdown becomes a lot higher.


So yeah I dunno. Whatever it is it's an amount not many people in the poker world have.
