Use a 2x2 x 9" drill a hole of 1 1/4 "(Speedbit is the best) 1 " from one end  and drill an other one next to it 
Best way is drill these holes 1/4 " deep on opposite sides 
THEN you drill the other side right through 
Clean the oblong holes with a knife and put the wood in boiling hot water for 15-20 minutes 
You should be able to push the golfball through the wood with a firm push 
and you'll be all set 
Personally I use 13/4 " x13/4" but you have to be VERY careful drilling 
Good luck and let us know how you made out
