The constant whining from some Cat 1 Golfers about the WHS, we are amatuers who play for fun, if it’s bothering you that much, find another sport.

The constant moaning about the flag having to stay in

When I am stood on the first tee, particularly prior to commencing a competition, I will always announce to who ever I am playing with, the make, the number and the markings on my ball. I will then do the same for the ball in my other pocket, the one that is going to save me from having to walk 50 to 100 yards to my bag for a replacement ball when I have hit my drive with the first ball into a location that will insist on keeping said ball.
We have four holes where you generally dump your bag and then walk back to a distant tee.
I will be irritated if you haven't anticipated needing a provisional or second ball, just like I was on Saturday when both members of the other pair put their drives where we all knew that barring a miracle, it would never be seen again and so took a slow walk 70 yards back to their bags for another ball. Why?
Is it so hard to carry a second ball? According to my mate yes. He says that you are planting a negative thought in accepting the possibility of needing one. He also has no shame when he asks if he can borrow the ball he knows is in my pocket having done just that.

I agree with your mate. I wouldn't carry a spare ball in my pocket. Mostly because I don't like having things in my pockets when playing. So having a spare ball in my pocket would be annoying.

Chuck them on the ground beside the tee box.
About 4 holes yesterday there were 4 balls on the ground next to the tee box. Highest handicap 6 but well prepared for potential reload and several provisionals were hit.
Just remember to pick them up when you leave the teeing ground

I’m rather with BiMGuy on this...though I will occasionally do what you suggest...albeit rather reluctantly...Chuck them on the ground beside the tee box.

I always carry my bag up to the tee on the one place like this at ours. Looks messy and lazy dumping it behind the previous green. Etiquette, innit?
Also, I might decide to play a more conservative provisional ball with a different club.

So you want to borrow mine as well?

Only if you had a spare Titleist AVX in your pocket.

Where do you keep your tees, ball marker and pitch mark repalrer?
BiMGuy

In my pocket of course. But the absolute minimum. Ball marker, small pitch mark repairer and 2 (1 long, 1 short) tees.

If I played at the course in question, I'd just put up with it, because I'd get fed up trudging back to my bag to get another ball, four times a round.

Or you could borrow the one I have in my pocket.
(i) As long as I don't need it.
(ii) As long as it isn't a comp.

Why?
I played a 4bbb match and they went through that nonsense, 10 seconds later I couldn't remember anything that they said and given it's your responsibility to identify your own ball why bother?

Why not it takes less than 5 seconds?

Do you also announce the make and colour of your underwear on the tee?
