My usual foursome does find balls! We usually play 4 rounds on a weekend, so have a lot of time(at times) to look for them. We have found over 300 on a given 2 rounds with a concerned effort. Only about 3 or 4 dozen premium though. We use them. Why not save $40 a dozen? Most are not water balls either. Lot of fragmites here, like bamboo, that we look in. FWIW, myself included, would not usually matter anyway what we hit, as we are not "that" consistant? JMHO
Did play a coursein Pa, Glen Mills, said to be a real good course, that was mostly pro-v's! Was under par for 7 holes, so I didn't find a lot. Pa Player, you play there yet?
