If you’re the kind of golfer who wouldn’t think of playing a ball that’s been violated by some unknown hacker before you, then you’re going to be looking for ways to buy cheap golf balls out of the box. Often times a difficult task but not an impossible one.
I’ll start off by saying that you’re rarely going to find much of a difference between retailers on the price of brand name golf balls.
A dozen Pro V1′s are going to cost you about the same amount at TGW, Rock Bottom, Global Golf and all the other major retailers. The manufacturer’s set a Suggested Retail Price (SRP) and the retailer’s tend to stick to it like mud to your son’s sport clothes.

So Where Can You Find Good Deals On Cheap Golf Balls?
Well the best option for finding cheap golf balls is to hunt down some logo over-runs. These are balls that have been been branded with some company’s/sports team’s logo so they can be given away as a promotional tool.
What ends up happening is there are more made than required, and the left overs are offered for sale at a discount.
These balls have absolutely nothing wrong with them…unless you’re a Tar Heels fan and the balls come branded with a big Blue Devil.
In terms of performance these balls are no different to the ones without the logo. They are just cheaper.
Logo over-runs can be a bit hit and miss – the ball you want won’t always be available. So when they do come up for sale it’s a good idea to buy a few extras and put them away.
Golf balls aren’t like fish…they don’t go off.
You do need to keep them out of extreme temperatures (hot and cold), but as long as they aren’t left in the garage during a crisp Michigan winter than they’ll hold their condition just fine.
So Where Can I Find Logo Over-Runs?
There are a number of online retailers who have dedicated sections for logo over-runs, which are listed below. Maybe bookmark these sites and check back with them regularly. When your brand comes up for sale…BOOM! – you can pounce on that deal.
