    Not to be confused of course with “balls deep”, which is exactly what it sounds like

      It’s when your shaft is so damn deep that you can only barely make out your ball amidst the shaggy rough entanglement. Courses like Oakmont Country Club, Ko’olau, and Pinehurst are some examples that can challenge even top golfers.

      Of course we still don’t have an agreed upon standard for how deep balls deep actually is.

          It used to be relative but the French have an underground chamber that has very precisely controlled environmental conditions to avoid shrinkage, ensuring exact depth of balls. It’s actually quite scientific.
