Dick's Sporting Goods has 48 Top Flite D2+ Distance (x-out) balls for $34.99.  It does not say so on this online advertisement, but my local store has them for buy one get one free.  The clerk said that a lot of the stores are doing this.  It's about $0.36 per ball.  As it happens, my kid's baseball team gets 20% off of everything, and the offers stack.  There are online offers of this sort that stack in the same way, making it an even better deal.

Saw the buckets of them stacked over by the putters at the local Dick's this past Sat.  If I was not ball poor right now, I would snap up a bucket.  Just today I picked up a shag bag (that was full of balls, zipper stuck) at the local Hospice store for $5.  Ball count was 70 balls (mix of mostly Pinnacle &Top Flight, Titleist (NXT's, Pro V1s), Noodles, Wilsons as well). Basically a ton of balls for free - granted some are scuffed, but most are totally playable.  This will be my new practice set of balls for backyard chipping, pitching.....AND I got a Top Flite putter for my 3-1/2yr old grand son for $2!  Seeing all those Top Flites in the shag bag reminded me of the buckets of 'em at Dick's!

I've played that ball and for me, at my index, they were good. If I hadn't just loaded up on the KIrkland balls from Costco I would buy them again.

    • I have trouble with vertigo on occasion, but have gotten nutritional and biofeedback tips to keep it at bay. Dehydration can help trigger v-like symptoms so one recommendation, along with maintaining overall hydration, is to start with 8 oz. of water early in the morning. A meta-analysis on Golf As Physical Activity indicated that golf is rated as a moderately intensive physical activity. This scientific literature review came from the University of Edinburgh. The physical activity level ties into hydration. A former university colleague was a marathon runner who had published a couple of articles on endurance training. He likewise said that golf was a moderate physical activity especially when the round stretched past  the two-hour mark. For hydration he recommended switching from water to electrolyte drink on the back nine (past two hour point of exercise) to prevent cramping. At the two-hour point of moderate activity, water starts flushing electrolytes out of the body, which can lead to fatigue and cramping. (I have had trouble with leg cramps in the past during exertion.) During a round, I start out with water on the front nine and switch to sports drink on the back nine. If the day is unusually hot, I may drink 8 oz. of Pedialite concentrate before going to the course. Maintaining overall hydration plus on-course boosters keeps me going.
    • Personally I’d try booking direct first - either via the Vidanta golf reservations number/email or through the resort concierge - especially for Christmas/New Year. Vidanta’s main courses (Greg Norman and Nicklaus designs) are popular and can book out fast this time of year, so direct often gives you the best shot at your preferred tee times.
