Interesting observation

[Davebud]

I have been walking the bike trail through the upper end golf course out here by my house. The trail is a county owned park of sorts, it winds through 2 different golf courses and in my walks over the last couple of weeks, I have found a few golf balls. Imagine that. Anyhow I now own 7 Pro V's, a couple of the Titleist DT so/lo's, a Nike One black about 4 top flites a Nitro(Yeah that just sounds like a quality ball) and a Cougar, and one Dunlop gold. Missing from my walks are any Callaway balls, I would have thought that I should have found at least one by now. Just an odd observation.

Check the fairways. Bound to find them there.

at the price callaway charges for them, people make sure to look harder for them....

[Davebud]

But at 4 bucks a ball for the Pro V's, I have to wonder.

I'm suprised you haven't found any warbirds. Any Maxfli Blackmaxs are keepers. I play them and I love them. I also don't lose many of them.

I'd have thought you'd only find crap. No ProVs/Callaways or anything. I usually think: "Anyone crap enough to hit a ball into the trees shouldn't be playing expensive balls"

Titleist and Callaway would be out of ball business if this was the case.

I find so many ProV's it's not even funny. I think the hype they get makes guys think they'll be Ernie Els if they play the right ball.

I buy expensive balls (Callaway HX.Tour 56) because I rarely lose them. If I lost 1 a round, I wouldn't buy expensive balls. I'd be playing Wilson Smart Cores.

Thanks to my evening walks and the fact that I have only been playing one or two rounds a month, I can play expensive balls and lose them. My shag bag for out behind the house is filling nicely too. I have two levels of balls the ones for the course and the ones I hit behind the house with my wedges.

I haven't even had to buy any balls this year and I have been playing Callaways and Titleists. I find atleast 2 or 3 top-of-the-line balls every round. I have never spent more than $20 for balls. It is pointless when I can find what I want by walking off the fairway 10 feet. I swear, I dont think people even look for there balls if they aren't in plain sight.

I'm with Dave on this one. I have a shoebox full of ProV1's, Callaway's, etc. Any Nike's I find go to my wife, since that's her ball of choice.

I used to pick up any found ball and I've got two huge boxes full of crappy balls. Now unless it's one I'd play with, I leave it out where someone who might use it can get it. Most balls are in almost new condition and I play with those. I've got boxes of unused new balls I've been given because I end up playing with found balls I don't mind losing.

i keep and play anything worth playing.... but anything else is added to my 5 gallon bucket out back, i'll get a pic soon, but i severly rolled my ankle playing bball and am layed up at the moment

[Adam Pettman]

Every Time I play and get stuck behind some old guys that refuse to let me play through, I drop my bag on the tee and head off into the woods that surround the course. I normally return with pockets full of balls but never more than 1 callaway.

I don't find balls because I don't go in the rough,unlike you scabbing rooting duffers

Do you have many trees where you play? I usually take a little walk along the treeline on certain holes and pick up a few.

[Davebud]

I am usually off in the woods well beyond the rough.
