Binned. Balls. Golf Balls (brand new).

This seems like an opportune time to demonstrate my complete ignorance of golf and also show my age.  As kids we would peel off the outer white layer of hard plastic and unravel all the lumpy elastic until we got to a small squishy black ball in the centre that contained purple liquid reputed by our peers to be toxic and able to cause blindness if squirted.  We would roll the elastic on our thighs into increasingly thicker "pleats" until we had a really thick multi-stranded catapult elastic.  The rubber balls burst nicely on the sides of buses, street signs and school walls, but ball bearings caused infinitely more damage to things.

Are golf balls all completely solid now?

As kids we used to remove the outer white layer of hard plastic and make a deep, but not too deep slash in the elastic & watch it go randomly shooting off in all directions while shedding the stringy rubber winding.
Cut too deep & the above happened, accompanied by squirting the white sticky (latex?) inner fluid all over the place.

Simpler times, or simpler people?...

Nowadays, kids just watch videos of such things on their Ipads...
