How many balls do you carry in your bag during a round. I carry 6, when I hit the 3 mark at any given time, I reload 3 more.

Depends on the course, usually 2 sleeves new and 6 loose used. If I've never played the course before or if I know there are lots of places to lose a ball I add a few more. I also realized a few years back that at any course where I lose a lot of balls, I usually find more than I lose looking for the ones I've lost. Tends to be a net gain.

I start with a new ball each round and carry a dozen used ones in my bag.

To many to count, I walk a lot at work so I almost always take a cart. When play is slow I walk around the tee box where there is some very tall grass and find balls all the time, they go into my bag and a few times a year I take them all out, keep the good ones and hit the other one at the range. I will find 100 to 200 balls a year.

Dozen. I usually don't run through that, but my last round had a lot of water on the course, and oooooooohhhhhhh boooooooooy!!!!!!! Let's just say Wilson took several dips! I may up it to 15 just to be safe until I get it right. The last time I started off with 1 on about 5 holes, then............

I usually have a sleeve or two of new ones and several used balls in my bag. I haven't really counted them. I'll cycle used one's out occasionally for practice balls. There is a nice big field near my house that I hit balls into occasionally and go out a retrieve them 2 or 3 times a year.

12-30
depends on how much cleaning I've done For tournament rounds, I have six new and at least six used of the same make and model, just to be safe. |

However many I have left. Doesn't matter if I'm playing a course with 32 water hazards and long grass or a dry course with no water, trees, or long grass. Could be 4 balls could be 12.

Six to ten--all pre-marked and ready to go. I think it's a product of my Scouting days--Always be prepared. Because I can't remember the last time I lost a ball. Occasionally, I'll have to throw out a scuffed ball, but I get about 3 rounds to a ball.
Truth be told, even though I carry my clubs I've got everything in there I might need: Rain gear, layers for cold weather, extras of almost everything outside of clubs (there is a 14 club limit). |

I'll carry 2 new balls to put in play. If I loose those I'll play used balls for the rest of the round.
