They put numbers on the Golfball so that you can identify your own by the number, when two or more people are playing the same type of ball.

In my Bag:

Driver: Taylormade R7 425 10,5°, Graphite Design Purple Ice 85 Regular
#3 Wood: Taylormade R7 Steel 15°, RE*AX 70 Stiff

They have different numbers. That's it. they're exactly the same except for the number itself.

Dang! You mean 1's don't go farther than 4's? Sheesh, I've been throwing away all my 3's and 4's and only keeping the 1's and 2's...

Just kidding, I haven't heard this question in quite a while and I am easily amused.

If it matters to you then it matters.
Golf is alot more mental then you think.
I am willing to bet that over 80% of the touring pros (and rec golfers if they could) have something superstitious about what is on their ball, weather its the number stamped on it or what is written on it.

I used to buy high number Titlest balls years ago. I liked playing with the 8s especially. Now those are basically impossible to find retail anywhere.

Let me get this straight. You

If I could afford it, I would

always play with an 8 ball. But, really, I can't afford to be that picky. I've got another weird superstition - I sprayed my grips with body spray (the kind that girls use) so it smells all weird. I do it because one day a buddy of mine had done it as a practical joke to my putter - I proceeded to get up and down about 10 times that day, and my chipping wasn't that good.

    • I get kidney stones. So 100 oz of water every day. Some nights I drink 32oz between midnight and 6 Am. Which means I dont sleep much.
    • 46 (9 over) Short game and putts were awful!
    • 46+40 for an 86. I just need to play 9 holes on the range before each round. 🤣🤣🤣
    • I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though. 
    • For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.
