honestly.....whatever ball is in my bag

Mar 28, 2015, 10:19 PM

I have been playing golf pretty much my entire life (since I was about 10), and I have never, ever purchased a golf ball. Every ball I have ever used was either given to me or found. I worked on a golf course through high school and college. So I amassed a huge collection of them, so much so that my dad sold extras to his co-workers to help me get spending (um, beer) money at college.

I have several dozen still-in-the-box in my shed I have gotten for gifts/prizes over they years. Sadly, some are probably 5+ years old by now. I probably should use them more, but I never think to get them when I go out to play because my golf bag is always full. My game is such that I lose maybe 1 or 2 per round, and I always find a half-dozen or more every time I play a round while looking for my ball (or my playing partners) - I developed a sharp eye for them as a kid. I throw away more from wear and tear than I lose. Part of a successful round is leaving the course with more than you started with

.....

To this day, I play whatever ball I have, I don't really have a favorite. I reckon Titleist 100 compressions have always been preferable I guess, but any Titleist is OK (I seem to find more of those than any other). The names change so much every year, way more than they used to, and I don't keep up with the "latest and greatest".

So I am living proof that the golf ball matters basically NONE (side note: clubs don't either). As long as it is round and still has a decent outer coating. I agree that soft covers/low compression are better in cold weather. Ladies balls are great if you don't care about the stigma attached.
