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.

    • Which was his second hole, yeah. I talked with Mav's coach/instructor last night, ha ha.
    • Yikes! Colin Morikawa withdraws on 11th tee after the practice swing made his lower back twinge.
    • Wordle 1,727 2/6* ⬛🟦⬛🟧⬛ 🟧🟧🟧🟧🟧
    • My flop shots are 6-7° down (AoA). Does that answer it? 😄  The longer answer is… You have to be able to do both shots.
    • I hope you don't mind me raising this one from the dead. I got shortgamechef's video access thing for a few months in 2024. I watched his yip fix videos (the general gist is similar to the first video above, but with a lot more detail) and it made a lot of sense. I was working on it in my backyard off a mat for a while and my yippy thing was mostly gone. Aside from anything else, the flop shot using that technique is so easy and controllable. But I got onto a golf course for the first time of the year and found myself by the green on a downslope with the ball sitting down a little in the rough and I was, not to put too fine a point on it, f***ed. Shallow is all well and good from a good flat lie and I understand it, but you can't make that your be all and end all. I still don't know if it's a good idea to use steep all the time or just when you need to. I have a hard enough time with one technique, let alone too.  Just got a pitching skillest lesson with Erik and unless I misunderstood things some, he wants me a bit steeper. @iacas - where do you fall on the steep vs shallow argument and how do you vary it according to need?
