More than just two? Just had a count as been picking up quite a few of late. And I've got 50. No wonder my bag feels a bit weighed down. Time for another 'downselect' to maybe a dozen or so - half dozen to play with - half dozen I'll have when I fancy trying something out when by myself.
 
Fifty balls in your bag! I'm surprised you can lift it! :)
I've typically got between six and a dozen in there. Usual ragtag assortment of whatever I've found whilst traipsing about in the long grass.
 
normally 6 new ones and about the same in decent pick ups or used ones. After a round, somehow the number is lower. I think there must be a hole in my bag...
 
A lot less than there was at the start of the season! Just stocked up on some new ones though so will be refilling before the weekend
 
I only take 1 ball out per round....focuses the mind.
 
I've got loads in my bag. As many as will fit. I change my ball every other hole to find one I like. My good lady thought it hilarious one day to unzip the pocket when I ran back in the house for something. Pulled the bag out the back seat and balls everywhere.

You see - as a kid I couldn't afford to buy golf balls and in any case wasn't bothered about what I played with. We're talking in the days of the Dunlop 65, Penfold Ace, Commando, Slazenger, Price's Everlasting (no actually - even I drew the line on these). So I just rummaged about when playing - and that habit has stuck with me. Every round I'll pick up about half a dozen :)
 
I usually carry about a dozen around with me. Right now, I've got eight new Srixon Distance and a few 'pre-owned' Srixon Z-Stars out of the bargain bucket in the course shop @ 50p each.

That's it - my mates laugh as I'll often be found wandering through the rough rather than up the fairway. Of course I don't need to but for me finding a golf ball is a little visceral thrill I love. I spot one - is it a TopFlite - or is it a nice shiney ProV1? Besides it has made me an expert ball spotter and finder :)
 
I always carry, so to keep the weight down, only ever have 6 balls in the bag. If I ever lost those I would walk in. Not happened so far.:whistle:
 
Walking across courses in Glasgow as a pre-teen was one of my fave things to do. Used to come back with a hugh bag of balls. Windy Hills was very lucrative.

always between 12 - 15 for me, I dont lose too many balls now but its just always the amount I like to carry.
 
15-20 loose in the ball-pocket and 2x sleeves in the trolley netting.. I always like to have plenty of ammo.
Bout this for me aswell , no idea why

Probably 6 new Pro V's , 6/7 Non ProV Titleist , bunch of old pro v's

Now i think of it there could be 30 in there ,, Yikes time for a clear out
