I refuse to buy new golf balls. In Canada, you can't even get a dozen new decent 2-piece distance balls for <$30 - Titleist Trufeel are $29.99 Cdn. plus 13% tax. I'm not good enough to notice much difference in golf balls, (+/- 15 handicap) but I still like to play good 3-piece urethane balls. Besides, I usually lose at least one sleeve per round! My go-to site is lostgolfballs.com. They have great variety and various qualities, prices are reasonable, and I have never had a quality issue. I buy 5A (mint) or 4A (near-mint), but NOT refurbished - had issues with those. Most of the 4A's are almost new, 1 or 2 in a dozen might have a small scuff. My problem is I keep seeing "deals" from other sites and end up buying some to try them! No issues with quality (foundgolfballs.com, halfpricegolfballs.com) but now I have about 25 dozen various brands in my basement!

I rarely pull the big stick - my 7 - yes 7 wood - consistently goes 230 ish, usually out-driving playing partners hitting driver. Play around 6,000 yards, so not usually an issue. Sometimes wish I could smoke a driver on the par 5's, but then I'm not usually good enough to go for the green in 2 anyway! So a nice layup to wedge distance is what the doctor orders. Of course the driver is ALWAYS great on the range...just can't bottle it up and take it to the course!!
