If you are a beginning golfer, or have thought about learning how to play, buying the right equipment can help you become a better golfer.

You can find golf balls at sporting goods stores, golf pro shops, department stores, online, and in used sports equipment stores. Golf balls come in a variety of colors ranging from traditional white to bright pinks, greens, yellows, and blues. If you have trouble finding your ball in the grass or are unable to distinguish it from others on the green, you may want to buy golf balls in different colors.
Buying a bag of golf balls when starting out is a good idea because you will lose many in the water, sand, and wooded areas on the course. As your game improves, you will notice that you can get through an entire game without losing a golf ball. When playing a good game of golf, you should be able to find your golf ball each time.
Storing golf balls does not require any fancy carrying cases or storage areas. Your golf bag should have a small pocket for golf ball storage that you can use. Always carry at least three golf balls with you when playing a round in case you lose one. Since golf balls are pretty durable, you don't have to worry about them warping or falling apart after being in your golf bag for a few months.

While you don't have to purchase the most expensive balls in the store, you should buy balls that are the correct size and weight so you can learn how to play the game well. Golfing is a relaxing hobby that most people can learn quickly when the have the proper equipment.
