What was the most golf balls you lost in a round (and was your handicap)


Big money

Recommended Posts

Talked with my neighbor yesterday. And he lost 24 golf balls on an extremely challenging course near us. Astonishingly he is a real solid 8 handicap. So obviously it was a very hard course. And he had just a terrible day

Keep it in the short stuff

6! I hit two out of bounds in a row with a 3W in route to carding a 9 on a par 4. I then couldn't pull my head together after the 9 and sprayed it around the course to lose 4 more and carded an 89 in a tournament.

So I used to (I hope I'm using that past tense correctly!) lose a lot of golf balls per round. Not sure if it was two dozen, but probably close, my second season playing and first time out on the "big" championship course ... which actually is a pretty tough course. So that's gotta be my record but I was like an 80 hcp.....

 

Since then one of my golfing goals has been, obviously, to reduce that number. I'm still a bogey+ hack but the other day I came close to ZERO .. it wasn't until #17 that I sliced my drive really badly .. it actually went into the #18 fairway and was technically playable, but for the sake of keeping moving I counted it as lost and re-tee'ed. So 1 is my low record :-)

I can't answer that--but it would be a lot.

Until I got to the right track.

 

Lots of trees but no natural woods. Sort of like a huge city park, only not flat.

 

You could get stymied easily enough, but you almost never have to walk or ride all the way back to where you played the shot unless you're OB.  

 

If every course emulated Pine Valley, I'd have migrated to the pool rooms to play nine ball.

 

But here we are, talking about lost balls.  In the wound ball era, we also had broken ones.

Not 100% sure but I would say 7-8. I am currently playing with a ball that has made it 2 full rounds. Thinking of retiring that one, maybe a wall hanger with the title “Lone Survivor”

Honest answer is I don't know, but I had to buy balls at the turn. I was likely mid 20s as far as my handicap. I don't miss those days!

Let's see I was about a 20 hdcp. League championship weekend a bunch of us would go over day early and play a practice round that usually included several beverages. . I lost 7 balls on 1 hole.. the worst part was a par 3 over water.. tee shot hit rocks on far edge, dropped close to waters edge and promptly dropped 6 more into the water, tin cupping it.. finally said F it. And walked away. .

Yeah, as a beginner, I didn't hit the ball far enough to lose to many. Unless there is a ton of forced carry, beginners shouldn't lose to many.

I would like to thank you all for your generous donations to my over full ball pouch.

I find soooo many balls in plain sight it's crazy.

 

I think that often times that people don't make a mental mark of where their ball actually went, and then they're off looking in the wrong place, then get pissed, and just drop another and fire away.

Depends on the time of year. We tend to lose more in late fall when the leaves are blowing all over the place. Our group instituted a 'leaf rule' for fall play: if you can't find your ball drop one - no penalty.

 

FYI I think the most number I've lost in a round is 6.

9. First round back after rotator cuff surgery. It would have been 8, as I could have gotten the last one, but wasn't willing to risk wading through the poison ivy to get to it.

I doled out 8 several weeks ago on Jack's course in Bend... :unsure: One was on a par-3 that I hit very pure (for a change) that flew over everything and must have bounced off the rocks and exploded. Looked for 3-4 minutes until the marshal came along to hurry us up.

 

My brother-in-law had a worse day. He bought two full dozen of new "somethings" at Dick's that morning and exited the course with only 7 survivors I believe... :blink:

I think I was around a 12HC and lost somewhere like 19+ balls.  Had a swing flaw that I just couldn't get off the tee.  Even tried to use an iron and would lose it.  That was a brutal summer.  Had I think 10 dozen Nike Platinums I had just received and the swing flaw hit.  Lost all 10 dozen in like a month (playing  several times a week didn't help either). Pretty sure I lost the balls between my legs that summer too from playing so badly...It affected my mental game as well that up until this year I carried a minimum of 2 dozen balls in the bag just in case that swing decided to come back.  I'm down to only losing anywhere from 0-3 balls a round now.

Happy to help. I hope you treat them better than I did  :D

 

 

There are rounds I definitely don't spend much time looking for my ball. Mostly it's during rounds for fun with friends where the score won't be used competitively outside of any bets we made. I would rather keep the flow of the game going than bring everything to a stop hunting for my ball. Penalties taken normally if woods or a hazard is involved. Very long rough that's soft and most likely plugged? Are there leaves everywhere? We have a gentleman agreement for no penalty stroke if we all can confirm the landing zone as in play, but the ball is just nowhere to be found.

Hard to know, because I've never kept count of how many balls I've lost. Instead, I keep count of whether I'm over or under on lost vs. found balls. Go into the woods to rescue your ball and come out with three new friends? You're two up!

 

Now, I'm more particular: go in looking for my Project [a] and come out with three Top Flites? I'm still one down :)

Yes and no on the worth it. Ko'olau was once considered the most difficult public course in America. Because of its difficulty and physical location it doesn't get enough play to create the amount of revenue needed to maintain it at a high level.

 

I love the course because it is in many ways like playing wacky putt putt. If you go into understanding you are not going to get country club conditions then it truly is a joy to play.

I honestly couldn't tell you the most I've ever lost, but if it's more than 4 I can't remember.  The only round where that might have happened was back in 2014, probably in September, where I met a buddy at a course I've never played before (and haven't since), and shot a smooth 100.  I was just getting back into the game after my son's death, and was still trying to get my swing back.  I know for a fact that I hit several OB on one hole, but I don't recall losing a lot of balls, just hitting a lot of really bad shots.

 

The normal for me honestly, is when I am playing with someone who hits a lot of shots into the trees, where I am looking for his ball, and I usually walk out of the trees with 2 or 3 balls that weren't his.  Many times I walk off the golf course with more balls then what I started with.  I've got a paint bucket in the garage full of all of your lost balls and then some.

 

The bigger problem I have is wearing out a golf ball before I lose it.  And a lot of times I can play the same ball for multiple rounds, unless I happen to hit a cart path or ricochet off of a tree or two, which ultimately leaves the ball with road rash or assorted other scuff marks.  I personally think that golf ball manufacturers pay golf courses to lay down cart paths, so that they destroy more golf balls, forcing folks like me and you to buy more golf balls before we should really need to.

I've become a snob in my hunting - I summarily reject any ball that does not meet my lofty standards and launch it further into the garbage. Topflight, Pinnacle, and Slazenger are among the brands that don't make the cut.

 

To answer the original question, though, I don't have a firm count but I know I've ended up down around a dozen a couple times when I was probably a mid-20's handicap.

Oh yeah... Fall.... :(

 

Leaves plus the lower angle of the sun causing a glare making it even harder to follow your ball....

We have lots of leaves in the fall, with this added bonus: right at that time, a crop of golf-ball-sized mushrooms sprouts throughout the course.

 

They are incredibly frustrating when you're looking for a ball.

 

Satisfying to explode with an iron, however.
