    Playing some golf tomorrow and am almost out of golf balls. I just play so I can hang with my boys and have fun, so I don't take the game serious at all. Wondering where I can go to get cheap balls. I have always had them given to me for free, so I don't know where to go. Thanks.

    Beerboy's wife knows all about balls: how to clean them, where to find a pair cheap, what kind of hits they can take... you should ask her tonight before you roll over and fall asleep.

    go to the driving range, buy a small bucket, then dump them in your golf bag. Cheapest balls you can get.

    Usually you can go somewhere like big5 or a sporting goods store and get "gently used" ones or "x-outs" (ones with slight defects from the factory) for around 75c a ball. If you have some time, look on amazon.com and get one of their deals where you can get 50 balls for 20 bucks or something. All else fails, you can generally pick up used ones in the pro shop for around a buck a ball.

    A rusty butter knife will stop the itch.

    what's wrong with my suggestion? You said you're not a serious golfer. The difference between a nice range ball and a normal ball is so small only a pro would notice. I always use range balls or balls I find along the course.

    Range balls suck.

    Go to Goodwill on MLK, they have tons of golf balls or look on Craigslist.

    Chorus:

    Ting-a-ling, God damn, find a woman if you can.
    If you can't find a woman, find a clean old man.
    If you're ever in Gibraltar, take a flying go at Walter.
    Can you do the double shuffle when your balls hang low?

    Do your balls hang low? Do they swing to and fro?
    Can you tie 'em in a knot? Can you tie 'em in a bow?
    Can you throw 'em o'er your shoulder like a Continental soldier?
    Can you do the double shuffle when your balls hang low?

    Chorus

    Do your balls hang low? Do they swing to and fro?
    Can you bounce 'em off the wall like an Indian rubber ball?
    Do they make a lusty clamor when you hit them with a hammer?
    Can you do the double shuffle when your balls hang low?

    Chorus

    Do your balls hang low? Do they swing to and fro?
    Do they have a hollow sound when you drag 'em on the ground?
    Do they have a mellow tingle when you hit 'em with a shingle?
    Can you do the double shuffle when your balls hang low?

    Chorus

    Do your balls hang low? Do they swing to and fro?
    Do they chime like a gong when you pull upon your dong?
    Do they have a salty taste when you wrap 'em 'round your waist?
    Can you do the double shuffle when your balls hang low?

    Freddy's sells a bag of used golf balls called "reload" for like $15. I've bought it a few times. 36 balls in the bag.
