Scotty Dog

I'm a 9 handicap and, for an 18 hole round at my home course, I'll carry around six balls typically. (Note that I often carry my clubs, making the bag's overall weight an issue to manage.) At an unfamiliar course and/or in a cart, another sleeve may be added.

When playing decently, I have gone a number of rounds without losing a ball. I'll continue to play an undamaged, unscuffed ball in casual rounds until the ball is lost or damaged; in tournaments that are important to me, an undamaged ball will be retired after every round or two, then played again in subsequent casual rounds until lost or damaged.
