Linda,
I was sure I was correct after having a little difference
with another player who questioned switching balls on the tee. He mentioned
something about having to get permission from other players. I very calmly said
that's after you tee off and if the ball is damaged.
On another note, should I be tossing all my old rulebooks?

Dear Lou,
A player may put a new (different) ball into play at the
start of each hole. Assuming no lost or damaged balls, he could play his
18-hole round with 18 different balls.
Don’t toss out your current rulebook until midnight,
December 31. You might want to keep it around for old times’ sake.
Linda
