As the title says,
I did do the Golf Ball tutorial (with adding some of my own thinking:) )

and went working further on it... I want it to look like the golf ball is high up in the air.

this is what I have so far :

You are close to you're desired effect. A few crits are:
1. Your light source and your shadow on the ground don't match up. The light is coming from bottom right corner and the shadow shows it is coming from top right.
2. If the ball was supposed to be high in the air your shadow should be smaller.
3. The edges of the ball shadow are too defined, may consider blurring / feathering the edges.
Like I said you are on the right track. I'd like to see another one.

Looks better. Try adding a sand trap or some other object to give it more depth. Good job though.
