How many golfballs do you use in a round of golf ?

[Viking Golfer]

Approximately.........

Just want to know how many golf balls you guys approximately use in a round of golf ?

I personally use 1-2 during a 18 hole golf course, but if I play a new course with a lot water hazards and my swing is off I can easyli use up to 5-6 balls and even more if I let my temper take contol :cheesy: :tongue:

My HCP is 4.9 right now BTW.

[MrParr1Noid]

Just the one. :tongue: I usually play a ball until the dimples are beaten flat and it looks grey in color, then I retire it to the shag bag.

[sundial]

I've only played a few rounds thus far, but have used as few as 2 and as many as 12.

[GenErr]

Normally one or two. Of course it depends on the course.

[dtwainright]

Local course that I have played a few times: 0-2

Hard a*s course that I've never played: 8-10 :tongue:

 

Don't have a handicap, but my scores can range from mid 80's to low 100's.

What a great game!

I generally get 2 balls out of my bag on the first tee and unless it is an unusually bad round I will finish the round with both of them. If a ball gets scuffed off the cart path or by hitting something else, I will usually pull it out of play when that hole is complete and replace it with another ball. In recent years, the most balls I can remember losing in a round was 3.

[krs1pitt]

haha, just got back from playing a course i never played before, lost 3 to hazards unknown to me

[br61]

I wonder who voted 0 balls for your round? How is it possible to play a round without a golfball? :tongue:

[bluprint]

Normally 2; depends on how many bunkers I'm in during the round. the ProV1s don't like the heavy sand on the course that I normally play on.

 

Most lost balls in a single round this year 3; normally lose 1 ball every other round on average - depends on how I'm driving the ball and how thick the rough is.

[Golfchicago]

Normally 2 or three. It depends how scuffed up they get.

Confession - I did :tongue: - just trying to give Claus a hard time...:cheesy:

[Clemson656]

Generally, 1 or 2. It could be more somtimes. Never less than 1 though.

 

But if you count by the number of my golf balls used subtracting by the number of golf balls found. Yes, it'd be less than 1 most of the time.

 

Anyway, let me tell you, I never hit more than 1 at a time. :tongue:

[slicefixer]

I would say in a "goof off" round.....1 - 2......in a tournament round 3 - 5 depending on the conditions.....number of full wedges hit......"caliber" of my play.....:tongue: etc. IF I have it REALLY going I won't switch balls unless it gets pretty scuffed up......

[Ascan]

I typically use one, unless I damage it badly or lose it.

[Chris L The Golf Dude]

Depends on the course.

 

Local Club: 0-3 balls lost.

 

 

At Pine Valley Golf Club: 27-33 balls lost.

 

(I won't ever get to play Pine Valley, but, it is the hardest golf course in the world...)

[Teetogreen86]

Usually one or two. Maybe a couple more if my temper is bad and I throw a couple in the woods. :tongue:

[TReed]

Usually about 2 or 3... more if I lose any

[sync71]

I usually go through anywere from 1-4 balls. Just depends on the swing and the conditions and what not.

[kkhere]

about 1 or 2

[SCameron009]

I go through 1-6 every tournament round just depending solely on how many wedge shots I hit. Every 3/4 or higher swing I take with a GW, SW, or LW; I will have to replace the ball with in the next couple holes, just because they scuff the ball like crazy. I would say that I 'lose' a ball every other round or so just due to water hazards/woods and whatnot, but my course doesn't really have THAT many hazards, and I know the club that I need to hit for every hole. If I am in a tournament I am MUCH more picky about the condition of my ball because I don't want to worry about equipment hindering my preformance at all, especially if I have 11 others in my bag that can replace them. During a casual round I will play the whole round with one ball (in case I lose it), but I don't care near as much if I am playing a scuffed ball or not unless it is REALLY bad.

[GolferGal2009]

my home course has a ton of carries and hazards so i lose 1 or 2 but if i'm on... i'll find someone else's lost ball when i'm looking for mine. :tongue:

[DBake]

Usally use 3 or 4 during a round. I like to switch the ball out every 6 or so holes.

[cpa49707]

I normally never use more than 2 balls around, most times the ball I start with is the one i finish with. I try to play smart and keep the ball in play, on tight holes I will use an iron and forgo the distance for safety.

[clinkinfo]

Depends on the course and the time of year up here in the north east.

 

Summer on the home course 1, maybe 2 if I catch a hazard or lose sight in the sun and rough.

 

Summer on an unknown course, could be 2-6 depending on what type of layout and what type of yardage books / GPS system they have and use (how well you can see, understand, and avoid danger).

 

Fall with lots of falling leaves, could be a ball a hole if they don't clear the leaves.

[pitbull808]

Depending on the course. If it's a good course with great greens, I'll change a ball everytime it gets a few scuffs. If it's lousy, I'll play it till the number wears off. Of course all this is also dependent on my driver...which has been known to stray waaaaaay left once in awhile! :)

[Golf_Beauty]

I usually only play 1 - 2 balls. I'm pretty straight so I don't vary off of the fairway much.

[Cameron Circle T]

Playing in a tournament: Potentially 6 golf balls. I swing a driver at about 120 and a 6 iron at 100 and I constantly have my grooves on my wedges resharpened. So playing a course I tend to mostly hit wedges into holes so I like to switch to new golf balls so that I dont end up playing a scuffed ball. I find the Pro V1x to last about 3 holes, so potentially 6.

 

 

Practice: 3 golf balls. Ill usually switch every 6 holes to basically max them out so as to not waste golf balls and I'm not quite as concerned about it rolling perfectly when its chipped etc. so I dont find the need to switch as much as in tournaments.

 

 

Helps that a friend of mine is on tour and hooked me up with dozens and dozens of Pro V1x's so I havent had to pay for golf balls in years. Gives me the freedom to be as OCD about the condition of the golf ball I play as I am.

[niketripp]

I use 1 to 2 golf balls per round and that is if I do not loss any balls in water or out of bounds. This is getting less and less now a days.

[GolfDrillGuru]

1-2 For me, I tend not to loose them, but depending on what kind of ball they are, I don't tend to chew them up either.

 

Note: I would go through 8-10 Hogan Tour Deeps in a round, those balls are crap. :P

[Ken_In_CA]

At my local Muni I usually only use 1 ball, but last month (last time I played :cheesy: ) I played this links type course and well... lost 12! AND that was on 6 holes!! :) Shot 88, was 2 over on the back 9, go figure.
