What is the best way to save money on golf balls?

Quality is important. How does one save money over the long run?|||First, learn to hit them straight. Then learn to hit them with height to clear ponds , bunkers and things like that. Then find the course's resident " ball hawk " who finds all makes of balls which he will sell to you reasonably.|||Here are a few suggestions:





1) Buy logo overruns


(if you do not mind the logo, which does not affect the performance of the balls at all).





2) X-out and practice balls


(It is not permitted on the golf course though but should not have any difference in preformace of golf balls)





3) Buy Recycled or Used Golf Balls


1/2 the price of new golf balls and heck, you are help to save the environment. I buy my recycled balls from http://www.lostgolfballs.com|||Try not to loss so many of them...just kidding.





That new Top-flight GAMER ball got some good reviews online. Personally I'd never play it...but the reviews have been good on it.





You can look for some used ones...Most golf stores will carry some kind of either used balls, or balls that have defects on the printing from the original manufactures that they are selling for huge discounts.





Other than that...take a fishing net to your local course..and walk around in the ponds and lakes...you'll find lots or when your playing...if your walking the course...when you walk to your ball, walk in the edge of the bushes...you'll find lots there..but don't slow down play while your looking.





|||Stop hitting bad shots. This is not a joke.





Analyze your game and if you can't hit a club (like driver) confidently into the fairway then stop using it and hit something you can keep in the short grass. You will play better and build your confidence using fewer clubs.





Hit your bad clubs at the driving range with someone else's balls.|||you can find good quality used ones from ebay, and several other sites. Golfsmith has some logo overrun balls for cheaper than fresh out of the box, these are new balls, but with various company logos that were over produced.|||First, try not to lose so many. If that's not an option you can get recycled Nike, Callaway and many other balls for about $27 for 60 balls.
