In 1986, Parton partnered with the Herschends and together they reopened the park under the name, Dollywood. With Dolly Parton as the face of the park, attendance soared in the first year under the new name. But Dolly brought much more to the park than just her name; her years of experience in the entertainment industry would play an integral part in growing the park into the immensely popular theme park it is today.
Hi Doug. R&D: Today's Titleist golf balls can be safely stored for five years or even more, as long as they're kept away from excessive heat. Attics and cars, for example, can get very hot during the summer and can dramatically shorten a ball's life. Normal indoor conditions should be fine for storage.
The average lifespan of a ball in the MLB is 6 pitches, IIRC, and the average number of pitches per game is 275. This is somewhere around 46 balls per game - obviously dependent on factors for each individual game. Side Note: Home teams are required to have 90 balls ready to go for each game, I think.
