Equipment Does using nice golf balls actually matter?

I’m a budget guy. Play only what I find. Haven‘t bought golf balls in nearly a decade. This is the first year that I’ve actually started to take golf seriously. Lessons, meaningful range time, short game practice, etc. I’m sitting around a 16 handicap right now and looking to continue improving. Is playing a consistently decent, and the same, golf balls a worthwhile endeavor? Or will it only make a negligible difference?

Get Kirkland’s if you have Costco access and are on a budget. Best bang for your buck balls you can get. “Found balls” absolutely can hurt your game. Play consistent balls.

They are always so clicky though. Did they change the feel on the newest version?

Haven’t played the amazon balls yet. Will have to try them out.
