I'm really not too picky especially early in the season when it is cold. I hate going into my pocket for golf balls when they are $50 a box. I've been hoarding my good ones for years. I still had some I used this year that my mom bought me for my 40th birthday.... 6 years ago. I usually don't break out the new ones unless I am playing a bucket list type place. I read that they start to degrade after time even when not used. I bought 4 or 5 dozen Vice balls a number of years ago and I still enjoy using those as my springtime balls. I am not good enough to really tell the differences in a lot of the balls. I like to hit a low trajectory so I can definitely tell the difference in the flight characteristics on some of them and certainly the feel and how they react around the green with spin.

As soon as I'm cleared to start up golfing again slowly, the weather here in NC takes a shitter and we're lucky to get out of the 40s. Fuck me.

But I'm cleared to start slowly with the range (a good idea since I haven't touched a club in 13 months) and then walk the local par-3 complex with 3-4 clubs a few times. The par-3 isn't horrible as long as you don't keep score, it's easier to think of it as a two mile walk where every few hundred feet you stop and hit a 9 iron.

Sounds like a great way to ramp back up Chet. I wish I had a par 3 near me, pretty sure it would pay dividends right away.

He didn't need to be a prick, but you should only pick up balls that you know for sure are out of play. And only use a wedge to stick up someone's ass. The are easier to replace.

I am bagging the idea of going out ball hunting. I think I am going to probably end up pulling the trigger on 5 dozen Vice balls. I still have a few boxes of Pro V's for when I play a bucket list course or maybe in a tournament. 5 dozen gives me enough to start with a new ball for every round. This year I will track how many I lose per round. Sometimes I'll lose a few and other times I'll finish a weekend with one ball. Probably come out pretty even. Kinda liking these actually ......

I bought Vice year before last. I was happy but I am not at your level. My big point was 5 doz for 4. Maybe 4 for 3. It was a good deal if shipping was free.

The balls feel a little different and perform slightly different than the Titleist. When I am playing 50-60 times a year it is about just having a really good ball and not great. It is under $150
for 5 dozen ( $28.95 a dozen ). You aren't going to find a much better price than that for a 4 piece ball. They have other lower performing balls for even less in all kinds of colors. I play with some older guys and they like the green balls. I told them to look at the Vice.
