simple question.... can you use a different type of ball on certain
holes? i.e. short par 3 with tough hole location vs. long par 5... use
a high spin on par 3, low spin on long par 5.... a guy in my office
said the PGA tour has a local rule where you have to play the same ball
type for whole round.... is that true for top amateur tournaments? or
is it considered basic etiquette??.... i guess i could also ask if
people think it's a good idea.
thanks in advance!!! also curious what are the lowest spinning balls.

The PGA TOUR adopts the 'One Ball Condition' which can be found
in Appendix I of your Rule book.
If that condition has not been adopted then players may change
types of balls anytime that the Rules allow them to substitute
a ball (including between the play of two holes).
Generally, the One Ball Condition of Competition is adopted
only in professional events or those limited to highly skilled
amateurs (i.e. you won't usually see it adopted at a club-level
event).
It's a good idea if it works for you. I tend to use balls
that feel good when putting or chipping. In 'leaf season'
I will play any old ball, however.

What ball works best for hitting out of a creek?
