I am in need of some golf balls. I am not that great and do lose a good amount of them, so Titliest Pro V1x's are out of the question. I really like Nike Juice's, and I'd like to buy them new somewhere for cheap...

Is there any good golf balls that you can buy in bulk? I like soft golf balls, don't really care about spin, distance, etc...I go for feel.

The new Wilson Titanium balls are fantastic IMO. I love 'em and they only cost $18.95 for 2 dozen. How's that for cheap?

I go used 98% of the time. I buy off of Ebay--usedgolfballs is the sellers name I think?? Just check their f-back percentage. For example, I picked up 6 dozen Srixon Z-UR's??--for less than $35--at least go with AAA or higher. Or, you can check your local Kmart and Walmart--I find refurbished, refinished, recycled balls there for cheap all the time. Precept Laddie, Maxfli Noodle, etc, etc.

Anyone heard anything about the Maxfli Black Max? I found a great deal on those bad boys, and it says it has the urethane cover, same as the Pro V1x's...

good? bad?

You didn't specify a price range. For new balls you can find good close-out prices online at Rockbottomgolf.com. For used balls of varying degrees of quality the best online site I've found is Knetgolf.com. Otherwise check the deals at the major retailers which often have bins of logo overuns featuring popular balls at bargain prices.

Sports authority has the Nike SFT double doen pack on sale right now for 20 bucks. They play long and soft, not a ton of spin but really playable. For $20 its a great deal.

Top Flite D2 Feel. $15/15 pk. at your local sports store or even Wally World. I played this ball all last season, it's an all around excellent ball and dirt cheap too.

If you like a little firmer cover ball, the D2 Distance ball is excellent also. Same price, same locations.

Well right now, I got my eyes on this:

4 dozen Maxfli Black Max golf balls for only $25...they are used, but in great condition. They are at my local golf shop.

Are these any good? I did some research, almost all 5/5's...it has the softer urethane cover like the Pro V1x's aswell.

Precept Laddie Extreme and Noodle Long & Soft. You can get these new and really cheap on either ebay or rockbottomgolf.

You can go to both places and find higher end balls much cheaper, too. Just food for thought.

At the begginning of the year I was playing a course and found a ball labeled "Nitro". I had never heard of it and took a swing with it. It had a good feel so I played it the rest of the round and the next day. It took me over 4 rounds to lose that damn ball. Im not sure what it was about it but I had great control over it. I found some at Rockbottom golf's website. Currently they are selling them at 3 dozen for $21. I bought some that I bring out on really tight courses.

I am a 6 HDCP and use $19.99 balls. Precept Laddie X. Good ball for the money, soft enough to scuff with the wedges too. My son is a 10 and he uses the Bridgestone e5+ (24.99 a dozen). His Mom likes him better than me!

    • I run tournaments and want to put in a local rule that allows relief from tree roots and rocks that are not loose impediments. We have some really terrible lies in some of our courses in my area and nobody is getting paid enough to break clubs. Let me know if you think the verbage for this rule makes sense. Local Rule Roots and Rocks You may move your ball from a tree root or buried rock one club length for free relief no closer to the hole. However you may not use this rule to get relief from a tree, bush, boulder, or other foliage hindering your swing. Your only option here is to play it as it lies or take an unplayable for a one stroke penalty.
    • Makes sense.  Like I said, I wouldn't have been upset at their original offer either, and based on the fine print it seems like they've held up their end of the deal.  
    • If you've only had to adjust retroactively one time in 8 years and have around 5 people each year without handicaps, that's like 40-50 people total so it sounds like you're doing a pretty good job. I think your questions give enough to go off of. This might be a good way to get new people to actually post a few scores during the 6 weeks leading into the first event. Something like "New members will be eligible for tournament money once they have at least 3 posted rounds in GHIN" or something like that. If they can get 3 rounds in prior to their first event, then they're eligible. If not, they'll soon become eligible after an event or two assuming they play a little bit outside of events.
    • This is a loooooong winded narrative so if you don't like long stories, move on. 😉 Our senior club typically gets about 25 new members each year. We lose about 25 members each year for various reasons (moved to FL/AZ, disabled, dead, too expensive). Of the new members, usually 20 have an active GHIN handicap. About 5 each year do not have a GHIN handicap. When they join our club, we give each member a state association membership that includes GHIN handicapping services. We play a series of handicapped tournaments over the summer. When we sign up a new member who does not have a GHIN handicap, we attempt to give them an estimated index until they have sufficient scores posted to have an actual GHIN index.  Our first event typically is around May 15 so, in theory, a new member has about 6 weeks to post a few scores. Posting season in the Mitten starts April 1. Inevitably, several of the unhandicapped individuals seem  to either not play until the first tournament or can't figure out how to enter scores (hey, they are seniors). That situation then leads to my contacting the new member and asking a series of questions: a. Did you ever have a GHIN handicap? If yes, which State and do you recall what it was? b. Do you have an alternate handicap through a non-GHIN handicap service or a league? c. What do you think your average score was last year (for 9 or 18) d. What was your best score last year? Where did you play and which tee was used? e. What do you consider a very good score for yourself? Based on their responses I attempt to give them an index that makes them competitive in the first couple events BUT does not allow them to win their flight in the first couple events. We don't want the new members to finish last and at the same time, we don't want someone with a "20" playing handicap to win the third flight with a net 57. In the event some new member did shoot a net 57, we also advise everyone that we can and will adjust handicaps retroactively when it is clear to us that a member's handicap does not accurately reflect their potential. We don't like to adjust things retroactively and in the 8 years I have chaired the Handicap Committee, we have only done it once. So here are the questions to the mob: Any ideas how to do this better? Any questions one might ask an unhandicapped individual to better estimate their index/handicap? Would it be reasonable to have a new player play once (or more?) without being eligible to place in the money?
