I actually lucked out this winter, I got ~3000 used range balls for 400$ from a friend who was selling all his range equipment and closing his range (a lot of work for very little $$$). I picked out all of the ones which looked to be in great shape (about 500), and im keeping the rest for our annual Canada day party at our cottage. 2500 balls to drive into the water should be a good time and make for some drunken laughs (and lost clubs in the ocean im sure).

The good ones are my practiced balls. We own a 4acre field in back of our home, so most of them will end up there, over and over. Not looking forward to picking them up.

In the Ogio Kingpin bag:

Titleist 913 D2 9.5* w/ UST Mamiya ATTAS 3 80 w/ Harrison Shotmaker & Billy Bobs afternarket Hosel Adaptor (get this if you don't have it for your 913)
Wilson Staff Ci-11 4-GW (4I is out of the bag for a hybrid, PW and up were replaced by Edel Wedges)
TaylorMade RBZ 5 & 3 Fairway Woods

Cobra Baffler T-Rail 3 & 4 Hybrids

Edel Forged 48, 52, 56, 60, and 64* wedges (different wedges for different courses)

Man that would be ablast hitting them balls into the ocean like that...seeing as I have never ben on the ocean .... LOL

I too have large pastures around my house; I keep one bush hogged real low to hit balls into. I would have a permanent back arch picking up balls if it werent for my shag bag. If you dont already have one I would advise you get one...they are a back saver.

You can also check out www.knetgolf.com . Once you sign up for their emails they will often send you good deals. Right now they have a deal going on for 20% off everything for a limited tim (30% off everything for Canadian customers).

I currently play with a few guys from UK and when I mentioned a shag bag one day they thought this was hilarious. One of them decided to get one and went to local Golf Galaxy. He couldn't find one so he asked for help but was afraid to say "Shag Bag" so he was describing it. When the salesperson said the term he and his wife busted out laughing.

I know this doesn't really answer the question, but I just rotate my used balls to the shag bag. I used to include balls found on the course, but really don't even have to do that because I just don't lose practice balls faster than I add new ones.

But then, I'm not hitting full shots in a field......primarily putting, chipping, and sand practice for me.

In David's bag....

Its funny how fast you can loose 100 balls when you are hitting into a pasture. But then again its equally amazing how good the mower is at finding them.

I buy my practice balls from a local golf shop that sells them in potatoe sacks. If I remember correctly, I paid $35 for 750 balls. I just hit them out into a field or before a round if their are woods around.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By DeadMan · Posted

      Day 47: simulator day! Played St. Andrew’s and shot a +1. Not bad, especially with having to putt at this simulator set up. Had about 5 minutes at the end to work on some feels as well.

      I think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%! @M2R, I've never heard of "Ask Golf Nut" but I'm dubious of his claims in the video and really, really dubious of what's on his site: "Why AskGolfNut Is the Most Trusted Data-Driven Golf Resource". Hmmmmmm.
