Kramer hits a Titleist golf ball into the ocean in “The Marine Biologist.”
The golf-ball gag appears during the episode’s setup: Jerry tells George that he is a marine biologist, while Kramer is shown repeatedly striking golf balls toward the sea. The ball becomes important when George later discovers a stranded whale and removes a golf ball lodged in its blowhole.
“The Marine Biologist” originally aired on February 10, 1994, as the 14th episode of Seinfeld’s fifth season. It is especially remembered for combining George’s increasingly elaborate lie with Kramer’s seemingly unrelated beach pastime.
Titleist is a golf-equipment brand owned by Acushnet. Common mix-ups include assuming the ball is a generic prop or confusing the brand with other major golf names such as Callaway, Wilson, or Pinnacle; the episode identifies it as Titleist.
