Buy Pro-v1x, $54 a dozen... this will ensure you try really hard to hit it straight.

I really want to start using better golf balls, I'm tired of using $15 a dozen golf balls, I want to try better ones. I usually lose about 2 golf balls per nine holes on that course. I know a good alternative is to get used golf balls, but I can't find a good place to buy them. What should I do.

Start by playing on a golf course w/o barbed wires Try your local golf shop that sells used club. They usually sell decent used balls for $4-$5 a dozen.

One of my customers yesterday gave me 18 Pro v-1's that he had used slightly. He went on to tell me he was a 2.8 handicap and probably lost a ball every 7 rounds. He's 61 and has been playing 50 years.

Don't you HATE people like that?

As I approach 60, faster than I can enjoy, it's becoming apparent to me that with my limited schedule, I'm probably not going to get my game back to the same nice level it once was. I now doubt I will ever be the scratch player I was. I also doubt I will break 80 as often as I would like... One time in 5 seems to be the average right now.

As for losing balls, if I play at one country club, I never lose a ball unless I hit it into water. The rough is simply too sparse and there is nowhere for the ball to hide. If I play at a different course, I can lose 5 balls in a round. They seem to think their setup should be like the U.S. Open.

It's a hideous truth, but the more you care about your ball/score, the more likely you are to lose it/screw it up. If you're thinking about losing your ball, you're probably gonna lose it.
