THe Found Ball Thread
Came across a Pro V1x at Manderley the other day that a couple gave away at their wedding, their names were stamped on it with a wedding bow. I figured I wanted to be friends with a guy that hands out Pro V1's for a special occasion. LOL
Got me thinking that it would be cool to have a thread where we can post what unique balls or balls from far way we've found on the courses around here.Donny Vantage NFL Guru, since 1974

I found a ProV1 a few years ago that had Tiger stamped on the side, like it came from the factory that way. Not sure if you can buy them like that but I thought it was cool.
I got a fever. And the only prescription is more golf equipment.

I found one last summer that had the phrase, "replace your divot you dumb s$%t" written on one whole side (three lines one on top of each other). Also, this summer I found a lot of Pro Vs that have "practice" stamped on them. Somebody told me that these are used at pro tournaments on the range then resold. Not sure if there is any truth to that or not.

I always wanted to write "If found, please call xxx-xxx-xxxx", or "If found please return to the pro shop" on the ball just to see if someone actually would.
I looked up what a ProV practice ball was a few months ago because I had heard the same thing about being used on the range, and wondered how many balls the pros could actually go through to be able to sell them retail after.
This is off Titleists site:
1. Pro V1 Practice golf balls are conforming products that differ only due to a cosmetic blemish such as paint, ink or registration of stamping. Pro V1 Practice golf balls do not have any construction or performance deficiencies.
2. Pro V1 X-Out golf balls are also conforming products. However, they usually have a cosmetic blemish and/or occasionally have a minor physical defect that should not significantly affect its performance. More often than not, the physical condition causing the ball to be stamped as an X-Out is so minute that it is not recognizable by the player.
Both products may be used in the casual round of golf including those with scores posted for handicaps, and most competitions, with the possible exception of high level competitions invoking the Local Rule requiring balls to be on the List of Conforming Golf Balls.

This is an interesting post since I've had several dozen Titleist NXT Tour balls labelled with:
IF FOUND
COLLECT PRIZE
1800DUFFERS
I've had staff ask me if the number is valid.

The resort I worked at in Hot Springs, Virginia had those for the short game area of their Training Academy.
Needless to say, I didn't buy many balls that summer.
