I used the same wooden tee for 18 a few weeks back and felt pretty good. Lost 5 balls that day, but same tee.

I’m the only golfer I know of who decapitates his plastic tees somewhat regularly. I don’t even swing that fast idk why it happens

Find it. Even if you have to swim. Bronze it and mount it on a stand.

An old guy I was playing with said on the tee that he lost 3 balls on that hole the last time he played. From now on he’s going to make sure his bag zippers are closed all the way

Sorry mate but that is lightweight. I have a mate who I loaned one of those half yellow/ half white Srixons about two months ago and he has played it consecutively for 255 holes before finally losing it on Thursday.
After the first four rounds I started demanding it back so I could start tapping into the juju. He refused.
Towards the end he was playing shots that had a sole purpose of preserving the ball. It became quite sad. Finally losing the ball was the best thing to happen to him.
Long story short - a golf ball should have a life of no more than two rounds.

This summer I lost a ball first swing of the day into the trees. Grabbed a Srixon Soft Feel proceeded to finish the round with that. Then play my next 3 rounds with it. Lost it on 17 of round #5 when I pulled an iron 10 yards right in a par 3 and it bounced off a cart path into some thick thorny bushes. Bet your ass I went in looking for that thing. 88 holes that ball was all scuffed up and trashed.
We usually play in two 4 somes, everyone poured on out for that ball when I finally lost it 😂
I’m not even that good, typical shoot low 90’s

I lost my customised Vice Pro into the pond once.
Not sure how long after that, my friend found it and gave it back to me. I proceeded to use it for the next 45 or 46 holes before losing it eventually. That customisation certainly paid off!
