Yeah I'm more familiar with the weight of golf ball than a proper weight system

Looking it up, it’s even less useful than I thought: a golf ball should weight “no more than “ 45.93 g, apparently. It’s not even a fixed value with a margin of error ffs!

So it weighs almost as much as no more than 45.93g, what's the issue?

For my European friends that want more precise measurements: it's about the weight of ten 1-euro coins.

You're welcome!

Thanks America

I can't wait for my country to introduce the Euro so that I can finally ascertain how much a golf ball weighs (almost).
