Anywhere in South Dublin/ north Wicklow selling prov1 lake balls?

Can get 3 for 10 euro back home and they're decent quality, is there anywhere around South Dublin doing something similar?

that sounds like extraordinarily bad value for lake balls.

Terrible. Thats €40 a dozen

You'd find a very decent ball brand new for that. The likes of Bridgestone's or Srixon Z stars are often on offer for around the €40 mark a dozen

Could be worth a quick watch for you

zocklie · 07-09-2022 6:17pm

Well the ones I normally get are grade A, 40 euro for a dozen balls that were hit maybe 10 times is still better value than 54 euro brand new

they are 47 quid for a dozen if you buy 3 boxes on clubhousegolf

or go for AVX for 40 quid a dozen.

Plus shipping ...

So there's nowhere selling balls out of buckets in-person it seems ....

You can quite often get deals in B&M shops on the premium balls. €45 a dozen is not a price very hard to find for a dozen pro v’s or equivalent

Exactly

Even McGuirks have buy two dozens for €99 currently on ProV1s

You'd want to be some sucker to take that lake ball 'deal'

We'll just have to agree to disagree I'm afraid 🙂

I don't like lake balls. Performance from ball to ball likely to be inconsistent particularly if some were sitting in water and others were not. I wouldn't pay the same for them as you can get other premium balls for. I think some golf stores sell re-packaged pro vs for about €30 a dozen, but I don't get these.

What are you agreeing to disagree with?

we are pointing out B&M prices…… you can’t disagree with them. They are live on websites right now @ €99 for 2 boxes and I’m just saying you will get them even cheaper from time to time.

Actually ya I forgot - using the code IGW10 on McGuirks gets an extra 10% off, so actually you can get 2x dozens for €89.10

It’s a no brainer if in the market for premium balls

zocklie · 08-09-2022 1:03pm

I was disagreeing with the "sucker" part of the reply

But you’re being sucked into a really poor deal

willabur · 08-09-2022 2:07pm

Can you not agree that 40 quid for 12 lake balls is a shocking bad deal??

Seve OB · 08-09-2022 2:10pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119589348#Comment_119589348

So someone paying way over the odds is not a sucker then?

zocklie · 08-09-2022 3:15pm

I think people's conception of what grade A lake balls are is skewed.

These aren't refinished/ repainted balls or balls that have been underwater for 2 years.

Not all "lake balls" come from lakes either most are just found balls out on a golf course in areas people don't go into to retrieve balls

The balls I normally get where I'm from are basically almost brand new, some might have a singular scuff mark, but u can pick and choose the ones you want.

Glad to see such a diverse discourse on this, maybe I should change the topic of the thread to fit the replies

willabur · 08-09-2022 5:18pm

new topic suggestion

Am I a sucker for paying almost brand new price for second hand golf balls?

:)

waterwelly · 08-09-2022 11:09pm

As a matter of interest how would one know how long a ball has been in a lake or, as I found the other day, plugged in the ground since last winter maybe?

A good clean up and some look perfect.

Might be heavier/harder

Any simple test do you know?

willabur · 09-09-2022 12:37pm

golf balls are porous, so they will take on water. Mygolfspy have done some testing on this, would advise you to look it up
