Well Marshall,

You can go to your local Pro Shop on the 14th of this month and Titleist has a buy three dozen, get one dozen free for a final cost of about $37.00 per dozen for the new 2013 ball.  You get a bonus of having personalization done for free or numbers from 0-99 as well.  That the best deal right now for new golf balls.  Good luck!!

That's a better deal now than the leftover 2011 stock that is $39.99 where available and priced to sell.  Large retailers have X'd out balls, not legal for competition, but are primarily cosmetic rejects.  They are 29.99 a dozen.

I've had a lot of luck with Lostgolfballs.com. They are used, but the mint ones go for around $25 and they are truly mint hit only a couple times, no ink. but they might have corporate logos. I buy them all the time, and am never disappointed, just stick with the mint for playable balls.

problem with used balls is that they come from the bottom of a lake. Usually these are water-logged.  Yes they are cheaper however its worth it to pony up a few more dollars to get a new dozen

Lostgolfballs FTW! Great service great product for a lot cheaper and they usually run sales and free shipping over 75 dollar orders!

there was a study about this. Balls that are in water for 8 day lose 5 YARDS. off the tee. I think titleist or some other golf company did a study on this

Sorry, but this is not true. Water will eventually permeate the cover of a golf ball.
