Gotta love those free golf balls that people dont bother going into the woods to retrieve...especially those Callaways and Pro V-1's

Hunting For Balls In All the RIGHT Places

The best hunting I've found for new, high-quality golf balls is at a PGA TOUR or Nationwide Tour event on Thursday morning after the Wednesday Pro-Am. Just walk up the deep rough -- right side not left! -- and you will not believe how many you'll find. I'm not kidding.

Bring your shag bag!

One of the courses I play is used by the local university, JC and high school. The players are provided with Pro V1 or Pro V1x golf balls. Many of the players don't bother retrieving the golf balls they hit into the woods; they will just drop another ball on the fairway and proceed with the practice round.

I usually find 2 to 4 per round I play.

No woods for me, Coltsfan, and no snakes, either. On Thursday morning after the Wednesday Pro-Am, I just walk up the right side keeping an eye on the second cut of rough.

Voila!

Those abandoned gems are a far cry from the 50 cent 'Club Specials' I played (and hoarded). Sounds to me like an entitlement culture gone awry.
