How Many Balls in your Bag

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

The contents of my ball pocket - sad but true

 

[One Planer]

Just a sleeve of 3.

 

[bluewolf]

Somewhere between 3 and 6 usually.. I prefer carrying so I like to keep the weight down..

 

[SAPCOR1]

Usually around 20, one for every hole and a couple of extra just in case.

Only lost a couple in the last half dozen rounds so my logic isn't working...

 

[Imurg]

My recurring nightmare is running out of balls and having to borrow a Top Flite...
My bag is full of balls...!!!

 

[Hobbit]

'Bout 6 new and same used. Always start with a newie but if playing badly and lose it an oldie comes out.

 

[Khamelion]

Three brand new ones and a half dozen selection of found balls.

The new ones are for Saturday comps and the old for when I'm messing around trying stuff I wouldn't usually during a comp, for instance trying to drive the corner off the 6th, over the trees and not being bothered if it ends up lost.

'Bout 6 new and same used. Always start with a newie but if playing badly and lose it an oldie comes out.

Same here Bri, always like to start a comp or outing with a new good yin and see how it goes.

As for Gareth who says he only carries 3, i'll be honest and say thats just plain daft regardless of how good you are or arent. I rarely lose more than one a round but im prone to the odd knife or generate a bad scuff from a stoney bunker where after it should be changed. I really dont fancy playing more than a few holes on my last ball in a comp.

 

[Face breaker]

I'll usually carry 9, 3x Srixon s/f, 3x Srixon ad333 and 3x Titleist proV1x's !...:thup:

 

[Ian_Bristol]

I have started to leave balls out of my bag as I was carrying to many. I am down to about 10 and don't bother picking up unless they are good quality.

 

[ArnoldArmChewer]

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

Ha, the Warwick and the hexagonal dimpled Bridgestone (I think) too, like you I played with pick up's, or rather ones my dog had recovered from deep undergrowth, he used to love hunting golf balls, 50 a night was easy, I sold them to the pro as practise balls, this funded my first set of bladed irons and persimmon woods. Happy days.

 

[Region3]

I put a dozen in at a time, and refill when I get down to 2 or 3, so usually between 2 and 15 new ones.

There's also usually 3 or 4 old ones, either mine that have played a round or two, or pick ups that are good enough to keep.

 

[Fyldewhite]

I carry so usually start with a sleeve of 3 new/very good balls and a few others, maybe just a couple, maybe 4 or 5. Tend to throw rubbish balls back or pass to anyone in the group who wants them.

 

[Ethan]

8 or 10, a changing mix of Pro V1x, Nike RZN, Mizuno MP-X, Taylor Made TP X and a couple of others I found.

 

[full_throttle]

around 20, normally 12 new ones and a handful of pickups that i use as provisionals and a couple in the ball holder of both the trolley and the bag

 

[Kaizer_Soze]

Currently have 6 e6 in sleeves, 6 z-star in sleeves and about 6-10 mix of those 2 used plus a couple of AD333

 

[Leereed]

About 20,go through stages don't lose any for ages then lose a few around for a few weeks.

 

[Evesdad]

Depends how I'm playing! Usually at least 12.

 

[CheltenhamHacker]

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

Sounds like slow play to me haha

I do love the joy of finding a semi decent ball on the course!

The hexagonal dimple ball of my day was the Uniroyal Plus6 Cool ball.
