Being the Ball Christmas 2000
Book Tour Dates




Being the Ball
12,000 Mile Holiday Tour

Billy Balata, author of Being the Ball, will travel across America, stopping in eleven states teaching golfers how to get the most out of the game. Billy will set up a putting green inside the bookstores, where holiday shoppers compete for prizes.

"Three putts past colorful Christmas trees and my artwork sculpture made of broken golf clubs is free—and everyone who tries wins something. All you have to do is join the fun," says Billy, who was dubbed "The Course Clown" by the Los Angeles Times.

If you are looking for a gift for that special golfer in your life, remember self-help author Billy Balata's words: "Being the Ball teaches any golfer to laugh at his own shortcomings in golf and life."
