LOL!!  Bet Sergio felt that way.  When we go to Sandestin I'll get out early in the morning and I've got a few places I'll hit.  Long pants, boots, gloves, ball retriever and I don't reach for anything with my hands. It's rough where I go.  Seems like everything down there will cut you or has thorns.  Depending how ambitious, or hungover I am, I'll find 600-800 every year and seems like about 1 out of 4 is a excellent condition Pro V.  Started finding a lot of Bridgestones and Tailor-mades lately.

If you find some balls with red rings on them and a bunch of smiles on the side, those are mine and I'd like them back.

I'm holding out for the one somebody's gonna invent that locks onto your lost ball.  THAT's one I would get my money's worth out of.

Could be, but then you would need a deep sea diver wet suit to get yours off the bottoms of the ponds/lakes you lose your balls in.

And when you dive into these lakes and ponds in Florida, just realize you're not sitting atop the food chain anymore.  I know I've gotten a little more careful when I start looking around the waters edge when I go looking and I'm not talking just about the cotton mouths.

My method, buy cheaper balls and don't spend more than 2 minutes looking 

I give it a good 15-20 seconds, especially if it looks like copperhead country.  The guy I play with most often and I have come up with the "found ball rule".  If you find another ball in the general vicinity of where you hit yours it is now your ball.  Play on.

There is nothing worse than playing with that guy that wants to spend 10-15 minutes looking for his ball.

It should at least count as two clubs...

I'm beginning to realize I should never play with any of you guys.

I thought this was how every amateur played.  As long as it doesn't have a range stripe on it you're good.

Agree with this 100%.  Not my fault you bought 3 ProVs and don't wanna lose one. Be better.

You weren't invited anyway, I heard you don't even drink beer when you play.

They got it. $25/ball and it downloads spin rate, ball speed, carry distance, etc onto your phone. Also has built in gps so you don't lose it, as long as you're down to swim after it when you dunk one. You big ballers need to get down on that.

a friend of ours showed up with one in his bag last summer.

when he wasn't looking, someone drew dikks all over it.

he didn't see it til he pulled it out to get a ball a few weeks later. it was awesome.
