New golf balls

Playing golf for the first time with a new acquaintance, we were on the first hole, which was a long par four with water to the right and a deep ravine to the left.

My new playing partner takes out a brand new sleeve of balls, tees one up and immediately hits it into the water on the right.

Seemingly unconcerned, he takes another ball from the sleeve and hits it into the ravine. Then he takes the last ball from the sleeve and hits it into the water.

Going back to his bag, he reaches in and pulls out another brand new sleeve of balls.

"Why don't you hit an old ball?" I asked.

"I've never had an old ball", he replied.

He might need to buy some of those "radar" balls, or maybe the ones that float. Sounds like a fishing buddy of mine that used to cut off brand new Gamakatsu hooks and throw them in the lake after catching one fish, or hooking a stump or something! I guess guys like that either wanna impress others or think it will improve their chances somehow.

If I were you I would have faked a injury and left the course.

I read the story as him being a guy who loses so many balls that he never gets to use a ball a second time.
