How many golf balls do you carry in your bag when you play?

[mdouet]

Around a dozen. I keep playing until I run out of holes or balls, whichever comes first. ;)

I usually carry at least 6, but about a dozen if the course is really tough. The most I've ever lost was 8, but that was when my handicap was in the upper 20's. I typically don't toss away a ball just because its scuffed up, but if it gets really bad it goes into a bucket of balls that I hit on the range.

I have about 20 in there now, I hope that will be enough (going to be playing my first real round on the 26th)

I usually carry 2 dozens of Pro V1x, but that runs out quickly since Vokeys destroy em.

you should really try the Callaway Tour i. So much more durable than the Pro V1x. A better ball in my humble opinion. I usually take two new sleeves. I like to walk the deep rough after a long ball in the fairway. While the others in my group are playing, I'm finding balls in the rough. I'll pick up the good ones.

I also think it depends on whether you ride, push, or carry.

I either push or carry, and when I carry I want the lightest load possible (while still bringing all 14 clubs!). So I only carry 6 balls in that case. When I push, I can bring as many as I want.

[Jamboboy]

I never carry 13 balls.

Great idea!!! I'm definitely gonna try that next time.

I think I currently have 5-6 balls in it right now. That's about average. I have a box of 6 dozen ProV1x that I pull from when I need them.

I always have a minimum of 50. Beginning of august I took out a bunch of balls from my bag. There were 88 in there (and I always walk). I end up about +1 on balls every round, so it adds up pretty quick.

i currently have 9 golf balls in my bag, i have 3 crappy golf balls, 3 pro v1s and 3 callaway hx tour 56

A golf ball weighs 1.62 oz. That means with 88 balls you are carrying an extra 9 pounds of balls! Even with 50 you are carrying 5 lb. of balls.

For perspective, my entire bag, loaded with everything including steel shafted irons, snacks, and 24 oz of water, is about 22 lb. (plus a couple pounds if I'm carrying rain gear)

14 new balls for tournament or $ play

30 balls ( previously played) balls for a practice round

[Bigbuckley]

i keep about a dozen "good" balls in the side pocket and about 3 dozen balls i have found around the course. My dad had 8 dozen balls in his bag last week. he decided to clean it out because he threw his back out lifting it.

Depends on whether I'm walking or riding...

If walking, maybe 8 (just in case)

Normal cart golf - may bag is a repository for balls; There may be 35 in there at one time....

[chingali]

Usually about 5 or 6. If I ever need more than that for a round of golf I'm giving up.

[julius06]

Never less then 18. Ever.

I normally fill the bag in the spring and hopefully not run out by the end of fall. I would say about 3 to 4 dozen, but I'm not against playing the good ones that I find in the woods when I'm looking for those sneaky little suckers that want to find the gopher. So actually, who really knows. I won't lie. It's probably more than I would like to admit.

[907golfer12]

I put a dozen in my bag and then let them run out and put a new dozen in there now. I haven't bought a dozen in like 2 months, but I have to before my round tomorrow.

I have a fetish for a pocket full of fresh clean balls. It gives me that secure, at peace feeling that everyone should have with his golf set-up. I kinda over prepare. Clean towel...clean balls..(no remarks)...clean clubs...I think I have an illness. Maybe obsessive compulsive!
