They are not on the USGA's list of comforming golf balls.
okay
because a few weeks ago, i was putting w/ range balls on the practice green because i had ran out of regular balls and the coach threatened to kick me off the team if i used them in practice rounds and/or tournaments

because you would have probably been DQ'd from the tournament round. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want to use some ratty, old range ball for playing purposes even if they were legal. I'm not saying that's what you were going to do, but I can understand your coach's concern. I've got boxes full of balls at home. If you want a bunch, I'd be happy to send them to you for nothing. Serious offer.

Only condition is you'll have to mention him by name when you win at Augusta!
That's a very generous offer, riyl, and I commend you for it.
I wonder why manufacturers don't sponsor more high school golf programs, thus helping build brand loyalty at an early stage? I'm sure Titleist is not worried about its market share, but wouldn't brands like Pinnacle, Maxfli, Dunlop,Wilson, etc. benefit by donating a lot of their "blems", especially to schools in disadvantaged areas? Or do some of them already do that and we just don't hear enough about it?

Yeah, I could see it now...as he's putting on the green jacket..."and I'd like to thank Chris in California for donating those top of the line Wilson Pro Staff balls from 1996. I couldn't have done it without ya".

When I was on the HS team, we had almost zero budget for anything. We could barely pay the cost our home course charged us to play and practice. I wrote a letter to Titleist at the time and told them our sob story and they were nice enough to send out 15 dozen golf balls, towels, 10 bulls eye putters, plus other stuff. It was really nice of them and helped a lot of the guys on the team out. It would be a great thing if they did more of that.
Additional point, in addition to the "non-conforming" issue...pros who operate the range on a course they manage take a dim view of people taking the balls that they own.
You might wanna try keeping golf balls in your golf bag. If I'm not mistaken, that's where they belong seeing as how you're gonna need them play with. Personally, I keep two balls with me at all times.
