Yes, We Make Money From This
Let’s cut to the chase: Golf Takes Balls is an affiliate site. When you buy golf balls through our links, we earn a commission. That’s our business model.
How This Actually Works
You click our link → You buy balls → Retailer pays us a small percentage → We keep making content about balls.
The price you pay doesn’t change. Whether you use our link or type the URL directly into your browser, you’re paying the same amount. We just get a cut for sending you there.
Our Partners
We work with:
- Amazon Associates – Because everyone shops on Amazon
- Rock Bottom Golf – Great deals, solid affiliate program
- GlobalGolf – Especially for used balls (pre-loved, if you will)
- Vice Golf – Direct-to-consumer balls that don’t suck
- Other retailers as we expand
The Important Bit: Our Integrity
Here’s our promise: We will never recommend a ball just because it pays better.
Our affiliate commissions range from 1-8% depending on the retailer. That difference isn’t enough to compromise our recommendations. We’d rather build trust and have you come back than make an extra $2 on a one-time sale.
We recommend balls based on:
- Actual performance characteristics
- Real value for the money
- Fit for different skill levels
- What we’d actually put in our own bag
If a $20/dozen ball is right for your game, we’ll tell you. Even if the $50/dozen ball pays us more.
FTC Compliance (The Legal Stuff)
The Federal Trade Commission requires us to disclose our affiliate relationships. So there it is. We have financial relationships with retailers mentioned on this site. We may receive compensation if you make a purchase through our links.
We also clearly mark affiliate links and include disclosures on relevant content pages.

P.S. – Yes, we’re aware that “Golf Takes Balls” is a double entendre. That’s the point.
