I have waaay to many in there. Probably 3-4 dozen at the moment, to be honest. But I ride most of the time, so bag-weight doesn't bother me much. 

I tried some used ProV1/ProV1X balls about 6 months ago and fell in love instantly. Haven't played anything else since. My father works at a golf course and sends me all the Titleist balls he finds, and I haven't been losing them lately, so the supply is up at the moment and I always keep around a dozen misc. balls or so in case someone else needs a ball, 'cause they can't have my ProV1s!

It depends on what bag I am taking to the course.

My Cart bag usually has 15 or so balls in it.  I like to play 3 of the same brand all marked up with my logo and dot scheme.

Last time I took that bag it was feeling a bit heavy so I emptied all the balls out and counted 76 balls!  Holy Crap!  That's a lot!  I usually find at least 5 balls when helping a friend find his ball in the woods.

My Stand bag has 12 in it following my usual 3 ball, brand/marking scheme.

Driver: :callaway: Diablo
Woods: :callaway: Big Bertha 2 & 4
Irons: Miura MC 102's 3 - PW & Mizuno MP 67's 3 - W
Wedges: :mizuno: MP-R12 52* & 58*
Putters: :ping: WRX Ti4

I started on Sunday with about 12.

by end of the round I had about 80 - 3 dozen of which I'd consider high-end premium balls.

(slow day, lots of ponds and woods)

Every round starts with exactly one dozen balls, identically marked. Any that are lost get replaced before the next round.

When they get too scuffed or worn, they move to the shag bag.

Wait, all identical?  I assume different numbers at the very least. 

I try to do different colors across different balls in the bag at the same time in case I need to pull one out as a provisional.

I actually don't note the numbers. I keep a red Sharpie in my bag, and if I hit a provisional I give it a quick mark.

I have thought about marking them with different colors, but I am compulsive enough where I'll probably have to have the same amount of each color...and that's a pain. Haha.

    • Day 446 - 2025-12-20 Woke up early and got some swings in before teaching putting all day. Looking forward to doing the same tomorrow.
    • It's miles better, though.
    • Went up to Erie for a lesson. I still need to work on how I shift my weight into my right leg and turn into the right leg. I extend it too much and externally rotate it too much. That all causes me to over rotate the hips and cause weight shift issues in the downswing. I need to feel like my right leg gains flex (it doesn’t), and my knee cap faces forward. The right hip sinks back and right. I need a need a ton more internal rotation. I still have some right elbow issues in the backswing. The path is better, but too much right elbow bend. I need to maintain width in the right elbow and let my right shoulder retract more, let’s say at A3, which helps keep that right arm extended.
    • Day 130 12-20 Today was just swinging what i had and go from there. Did focus on getting to lead side. Recorded swings for lesson  and hit real balls.
