Do you guys ever play with dirty balls?
Not since I hired your mom to be my ball polisher.

Guess who’s golf season just got shut down for a month?
This guy’s.
This province is an epic failure.
Next weekend appears to be set as my first round of the season. Weather permitting of course.
Followed by a trip to Arby's for some Beef n Cheddars.
Are your guys ball snobs, do you stick to one ball ?
Im pretty particular to Pro V and TP5.
We are hitting daily records more often than not now. Toronto specifically is in a rough state.Is it truly that bad ? I would riot if that happened here. Also apparently the border is shut down , not sure how that is gonna go for cabin owners in Lake of the Woods ?
Played my first round of the year with a Kirkland. Double dozen from Costco for like $40. Hell of a beater ball.Are your guys ball snobs, do you stick to one ball ?

I usually don't care, but always find my way back to Callaways or Srixons for some reason. Probably all in my head.Are your guys ball snobs, do you stick to one ball ?

I play Srixon Z-star or Pro V1s. That’s it.Are your guys ball snobs, do you stick to one ball ?

I have used Nike PD Longs for years. About half the price of the Pro V/TP5, normally.Are your guys ball snobs, do you stick to one ball ?

When Nike got out of the equipment business, my local course, which had a Nike contract, sold the balls at a ridiculous discount, so I bought about 30 boxes.
Should last me a while yet.
I grew up watching my frugal dad win club championships using Ultra balls, so I know I don't have to keep up with the Joneses with high end golf balls.
The only factors for my dad were that Ultras were cheap and seemed to make it through a round okay.Ultras were OK. I liked Titleist, but they just cut so easily (meaning the surface cut). Pinnacles were cool off the tee because they were rock hard. But ultimately it never made much difference.

edit - I will also play the Bridgestone Tour XS, too.

on a par 3, sure.That’s the main reason I play with Srixon. They do well in terms of durability.
I saw a titleist study on a par three course where they grouped high medium low handicaps together. I don’t remember the specifics of it, but the main take away is that the higher handicappers increase in performance performance was greater with a higher quality ball Then it was with the lower handicap or group.
In other words it actually benefits a higher handicap or more to play a more premium ball.
That study should be taken with a grain of salt because of who performed it, tho.
To add to my frugal dad story. Back in the 80s he was using Spalding irons from the 60s. Until he had to stop playing because of a permanent blood clot in his knee about 8 years ago, he was still using the same irons.
He only ever replaced the grips. He did buy metal woods eventually, but used wooden woods well into the 90s.
