Do you carry a provisional ball in your pocket?

[Pitch Perfect]

Funny, the same twonk I posted about earlier, who felt he had to point out to me my terrible conduct the other week when I merely carried on moving toward my ball, so I would be ready to play it also told me I 'Should' have a spare ball in my pocket.
I am sure this must have also been another highly valid and important piece of advice, as I had to walk all of around 15 feet to get another one from my bag in order to play a provisional !
I am surprised he didnt try telling me where I 'should' take my holidays this year as well !

Never carry a spare ball in my pocket

Not carrying a second ball because it puts negative thoughts in your head is just ridiculous. It just smacks of needing excuses for your poor ability.

Professional tennis players carry 2 balls just incase they miss the first serve.

I used too, as i was more embarrassed loosing my tee shot and walking back to my bag to get another. now i dont intentially take one to boost my confidence and hardly loose a ball now (mainly because i leave my driver at home!)

the liklihood of missing the first serve in tennis a far greater than losing a ball off the tee in golf (at least it should be )

Very bad analogy!

Missing the 1st serve in tennis is 'free'!

And many (Pro) Ladies only carry 1 ball at a time. Nothing to do with negative thoughts though.

So what we really need is a ball boy to lob us our provisional when needed?

That's called a caddie.

That won't work - I want my caddie lurking in the undergrowth half-way down the fairway where he can be of far more use spotting which tree I had a lucky bounce off

Well that's OK then, because if he is spotting your ball, you won't need him to throw you a provisional

I must admit I never do and if I need one (on the very rare occasion !!HONEST) one of the lads usually throw's one back to me. Do not l know about negative thought but dare I say subliminal messages with having a ball in your pocket.

As not read all the threads apologises but maybe worth running a poll on how many people go out of bounds in say every 4 rounds when carrying V not carrying the spare ball!

Hit en straight!
