Doesn't work that way for a golf ball. The carpet might break up the

i have wood floors that were installed in 1962. they are over a basement
and craw space. they can be colder than carpet. and i know they can be
a pain in the ass to keep up with, i would not have carpet. specially if
you ever take up carpet and padding and see the dirt in it.
