Do you know how to handle balls very well? What about playing a variety of balls in different colors and textures? Also- you need to know how to clean balls. Taylormade, Callaway, Srixon ect would not want you playing with their balls unless properly washed.

OK, now for something different (serious).

Post coherent reviews in the GolfBalls forum on your own. People in power, such as mods, will see the posts and actually think you know what you are talking about.

Worked for me and I don't know s**t about golf balls.

Congratulations sir. Nothing beats a good line of BS when your trying to get something done or make a point. In a place where the S#$t is deeper then any place I've ever been you sir have floated to the top.

Well done and well played by you sir.

At my fire department we have a nurse practitioner who is contracted to come in and perform the test. Last year the contract paid off when she found a lump that turned out to be cancerous - the guy had it removed and went through some minor chemo and is back at work now.

To get to where this nurse is you will need a good background in science, get your LPN followed by your RN and then continue on to Nurse Practitioner. No matter how old you are it is never too late to live the dream, continue your education, and then get some contracts to do ball testing. I would urge that you wear at least one glove while you are testing balls by the way. Much more hygienic.
