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

[par3forme]

12-15 - this might have made a good poll question

[par3forme]

12-15 "good" balls, 10-20 random found or not so good balls and one yellow smiley faced novelty ball for my 3 year old son for when he comes out with me

this might have made a good poll question?

At tournaments, 14 Pro v1's, or if I don't have has many, any other tour ball will do (Nike One Platinum, Callaway HX Tour 56/Tour ix, TM Tp Red, Maxfli Blackmax...).

When parcticing I allways have the other balls like Nike Juice/PD soft, callaways, maxfli's inesis...

[Fourputt]

No clue. It changes daily. I have several used balls that I've retired from competition, but which I still pull out and use for casual play until worn out or lost. But that number is never the same, and since I never waste time counting them, I couldn't even make a wild guess.

i carry 7 sleeves...as a just in case. 1 day I had a horrible round at a course i've never played in Florida....I went thru 3 sleeves.

[ks8829]

6-8 balls at a time.

[chipper2]

I carry about a dozen new balls and about a dozen old or found balls. If just a practice round old balls are OK to use and lose.

[jonjones]

3-4 sleeves with 2 or 3 crappy balls for hazzards.

[dave s]

Anywhere from 12 to 3. When I use the last sleeve a reload with a new dozen.

Same here. Was going to say 12 - 15 balls TOPS. The ones I find go in my wife's bag. They don't last long there, either! dave

3 or 4 if I am walking because I pull the rest out to cut the weight down. Riding I don't count but 7-10 maybe.

[bleedcubbieblue]

I always carry 5 balls when I play a round of golf. I think odd numbers are good luck, and I figure if i lose more than 5 balls in a round, i might as well walk in!

[bogeyhitter25]

I carry around a dozen. I'll usually only lose one, or none.

[golf_junkie27]

At least two dozen. I give balls away if someone asks what I'm playing with and should someone run out, I'll have extras.

[iQuest Golfer]

6-10 experienced balls with a sleeve of 3 new ones to use depending on the game. They are rotated as they wear. I keep the news ones in a different pocket so there is no fraternizing. I want the new ones to be excited about playing outta the box.

I like the idea of using the old balls to placate the water gods... I think I've found a new ritual for the old timers that complain... ...the balls that complain.

about a half a dozen. three in the holders on the ogio and three in a pocket. I don't know how many found golf balls though I have. there is quite a few right now. I also have the one colored ball for par threes. I replace when needed one sleve at a time.

[ToddziLLa]

About 8, then another dozen or so range balls in case it's a really bad round.

[yeis20]

approx 2 dz mixed of my normal balls, only add 1-2 sleeves as balls get lost or scuffed up.

I dont bother picking balls up I find on the course that are "lost" usually unless it is a high end $3.00 per ball type and I give them to my playing partners if they are into those types of balls (i.e. prov1)

[Fraser]

Far too many. I have three different pockets of balls. V.good, average and rubbish balls I tend to find on the course.

If I hit a practice shot, as I often do if I'm playing alone, then I'll use the rubbish balls so I don't feel bad about leaving them if they go awry...

I need to cut down!
