around a dozen. half will be new ones the others a few rounds each with and would have been used in bounce games
How many balls do you start a round of golf with?

No joke - probably around 30 balls... I pick up everything I find and tend not to have many clear outs. However, I play with a lot of mates who arent really golfers so I end up throwing them 5/6 balls when they quickly start to run out

I use a trolley, so weight not a factor, so many balls in the pocket of the bag.
If I lost them all, in one round, I'd join the bowls section?

I'd estimate about a dozen or so. The number doesn't change a lot as I don't tend to lose a lot, nor find too many. I carry less in my carry bag than cart bag purely for weight reasons.
When I used to collect my late brother and his bag from his home I always said how heavy it was. He said he emptied it one day and found 64 balls in the bag in total! I know he was a bit errant with his shots but ...............

When I changed my bag, think I had 90 something. New bag has a smaller pocket so probably from 30 to 70.
Have been know to lose 1-6 balls during a bad round.

I think this deserves one of those footjoy coffee mugs that were going around a while back. I applaud this number ??. I'm pleased I've found someone even more paranoid than me.When I changed my bag, think I had 90 something. New bag has a smaller pocket so probably from 30 to 70.

Always six. As I carry don’t want any extra weight.

Can’t believe you lose three in a round Mike.

Have you weighed different brands to find the lightest?
I prefer to carry sunglasses rather than an umbrella for similar reasons, but sometimes that doesn't work out too well.

Usually 6, could be less but no more unless I’ve bought some at the shop.
If I lose them, I should do everyone a favour and go home! If I’d lost three I’ve probably scrubbed the card anyway.

I carry, so it's 6 normally and then the odd one I find goes in.

Know someone who is cat 1 and refuses to carry more than his handicap. Loved watching him walk in during a big comp from the 5th hole once!

2 or 3 sleeves plus the one sleeve I am playing, 7 to 9 balls.
I also have a handful of ransoms in the bag, just in case. And if I find a premium ball I play that (until the stream crossing)

6 of the balls I play with normally (pearl/A lake balls I buy in bulk when needed) and a few decent provisionals (and some yellow/orange in winter), so anywhere between about 10 and 20. I normally use an electric trolley, but if I carry I'd just have 6.
