Is there a place where I can order trial packs of multiple golf balls? Like 3 of this and 3 of that, as a means of trying balls to find the one i want to play?

Some golf course club houses sell 3 packs, but they charge through the roof for them. I don't know of anywhere that sells a lot of three packs, but I have seen some behind the counter at golf superstores.

I think it would be best to buy a bunch of used balls. If you can find a golf show or expo or something like that they often have people who sell used balls by the ball.

thanks this is close to what I was looking for.

The golfsmith near me seemed to have 3-packs of most balls. I assumed that was pretty normal.

yeah but they charge a ton for them. I guess I should have clarified that I was looking for used golf balls. I have trouble spending $8-$12 on a 3 pack of golf balls. So I would love to order say 3 bridgestone e6, 3 srixon trispeed, 3 taylormade burners, etc and get them all grouped together

The Golfsmith near me sells balls by the sleeve. Go talk to a manager and see if they will give you a discount if you buy 4 sleeves, as if you were buying a dozen of the same ball. I have done this before and have received something off each sleeve. Or, buy a dozen from them and see if they will allow you to return a sleeve in exchange for a sleeve of a different ball. That may be easier for their record keeping. Good luck.

I know the golf galaxy that I go to always has 3 packs by the checkout lines. They look like they probably came out of open boxes. There's always a good selection and you can usually get them at a good price.

if you can find three other friend who want to do the same thing, you can each buy a dozen of different balls and exchange sleeves.

+1 This is exactly what I was going to recommend.

Ah, used makes sense. The prices didn't seem so bad to me, since $8-$12 for a 3-pack is $32-$48 for a 12-pack, which is about right. The prices seemed a lot better than pro shop sleeves, though.

That is a good idea, but it still doesn't answer my question of if there is a place that exists where you can hand select which balls you want.

I know there are some courses that have bins of lost balls and you can pick and choose and generally at golf shows you can. I was just wondering if a store or web site existed where you could do the same

    • Yeah, watched Geoff Ogilvy's bit on Fried Egg about his conversation with some bogey golfer finding #2 most fun to play and the irony in it being so.  Makes sense.
    • So, I think the idea behind it is that the ball is not perfectly smooth (obviously). So, on shorter putts, it is better to hit that point on the ball because it gets the ball into a better roll. You are not compressing the ball with a short putt, so it would act more similar to if you were hitting let's say a 100 sided dice. On longer putts, you might be compression the ball so more of the ball impacts the club face and then that single point doesn't matter.  It might be something he made up, could be a confidence thing, could be a legit thing. Maybe it matters more with how good the greens they putt on.  Also, we are talking about a single point here, and the putter face angle, path, ect.. will change a bit on each putt. So, it isn't like you are hitting that spot exactly in the same way.  Not sure it is worth the effort with so many variables in play. 
    • Looking at the aerial, there is very few holes were short is bad. You can always putt from off the green, so it makes the short game easier. I can see where the big number is out more often. It's not really a course where you can easily go low at either. The sand down there is super easy to play out of.
