Ever notice this doesn’t happen with the soft commodities? Wheat? Soybeans? Rice?

American golf ball is 1.68 inches in diameter, or 4.27 cm.

Volume of a sphere having radius 2.33 cm is 40.7 cm3.

Density of gold is 19.32 gm/cm3.

Mass of solid gold golf ball therefore = 786 gm, or 27.7 oz (more than 1.5 lb).

Therefore value of 27.7 oz golden golf ball at current gold price of $1357/oz would be $37635.

“BUM” = That`s British English and Canadian slang, not American English slang- for buttocks.
“Buns” is American slang.
I ain`t in Canada. I don`t speak Canadian.

2.2 pounds of gold per carry.

A feat not possible for a hetero man.
