When you play 18 holes of golf, going by the RULES how many golf

I don't understand what the rules have to do with anything. You can have 0 in your bag or a thousand. So I'm not answering because I don't understand what you're asking.

Next time you may want to consider adding a poll to a forum question like this... and if you could shorten the sig file, I think folks would appreciate not having to scroll past it.

From the USGA Rule Book- no rule on how many balls you can carry. Tin Cup is a movie.

5-1/5 Whether Player May Borrow Balls from Another Player


Q. During a stipulated round, a player runs out of balls. May he borrow one or more balls from another player?

A. Yes. Rule 4-4a prohibits a player from borrowing a club from another player playing on the course but the Rules do not prevent a player from borrowing other items of equipment (balls, towels, gloves, tees, etc.) from another player or an outside agency.
If the “One Ball” Condition in Appendix I is in effect, the player would need to obtain the same brand and type of ball as required by that condition.

the correct number of balls you should have in your bag is " ENOUGH "

there was a story about Tiger and Steve(his caddy). During the US Open at Pebble Tiger hit driver off the 18th tee, pulling it left into the ocean. Steve give him another ball and asked "you're sure you don't want to hit the 2i?" Tiger said "yes" and proceeded to pipe it down the fairway.
After the round was over Steve admited, that it was his LAST ball in the bag... Supposely TW was practicing putting in his hotel room night before and Steve forgot to load them back into the bag....
Can you say "I was SOOOOO close from losing the best gig in the world" ?

    • Day 34 (14 Dec 25) - Got outside for a few moments to work on bump and runs with the 4h (again using the exaggerated weight shift reminder of the left (lead) heel). Finding that it helps keep the downswing arc extended.

    • I am currently playing a Cobra Ltdx LS 9 degree driver and Cobra Ltdx LS FW3. Both with Tensei White stock stiff shafts and original weights of 12g (heel) and 3g (toe). My miss is usually a pull fade or sometimes a slice, swing is out to in. Driver swing speed about 112 mph. Grips are stock regular. Intended change: Driver: Switching to Tensei White x-flex one inch shorter which I suppose would be 44,5? Changing heel weight to 18g. Changing grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Change hosel setting to standard draw. FW3: Changing heel weight to 16g (apparently not available in FW weights, but supposed to be something called "internal weight" a club builder can add which fits between the weight and the screw?). Change grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Changing hosel setting to standard +1. The goal is to 1) get better grip since I tend so lose grip in warm and moist conditions with the current grips and 2) mitigate the misses to start more straight with less side spin. Also considering adding the Cobra Ltdx LS FW5 instead of my old Taylormade R9 and getting 14g heel and 6g toe weights with the same grip as the others and hosel setting standard +1.   All of the above is based on conversations with ChatGPT and, as everyone knows, it can come up with pretty much whatever but I spent a few hours asking about different perspectives etc and this was the recommendation. So, my question is basically, does it make any sense?   Thanks.
