How Many Rounds Does a Ball Last?

Whenever I take a ball out of play, I hang onto it and throw it in the shag bag when I get home.  Having a supply of practice balls that are the same model that you normally play with is nice because it keeps everything consistent.  If you don't have a shag bag, maybe keep a few for chipping and pitching when you warm up before a round.

This is what I do. They go into my practice bag and I use them around the greens and to hit into my net.

Yes, certainly a good idea. I just don't remember sustaining long term relationships with too many of them. Most abandon me in favor of nature hikes and swims before the make up wears off.

All depends on what side of the bed i get out of. I can have the same ball for 3 or 4 rounds but could quite easily lose one on my first tee shot. Also depends on how much I'm playing full shots with my sand wedge because that club chews up balls quickly.

Yes,  last year I got a net for the backyard and now all balls i take out of play end up with that ultimate fate...
