Binned. Balls. Golf Balls (brand new).
What's Hot
Any golfists on here want some new balls?
I've got 5 boxes of these, brand new and un-hit, 4 mini-boxes of 3 balls in each, so 60 balls in total. Had them for ever with a vague idea that - one day - I'd start playing golf regularly and would need a decent supply of balls to replace all the ones that I'd be bound to lose. But I haven't, and can't see me ever doing, so not a lot of point in keeping these.
They're corporate branded, from a long defunct (and not at all embarrassing!) corporate.

Keep them - maybe one sunny day you'll get back out "there".
Having just done a quick Google, the wisdom seems to be that they'll last for ~10yrs, and these are certainly a lot older than that (I'd guess close to 30yrs).
They'd have been more than 10yrs old when I used some of their brothers and sisters in the few rounds that I did play. Perhaps that's why my scores were so bad ...
Before anyone else says it, yes, looks like my balls are too old to be properly functional.
I worked for them for a few years. The company had gone through a few rebrands in the preceding years, and all the old-branded stuff had to be disposed of each time. I was just starting out with golf, so grabbed a load of these thinking that they'd come in very handy. The fact that they're still unused probably tells you how far I got with the golf ...
If you just want to get rid of them and got a golf club nearby you could donate them to juniors as practice balls. Just did this with a few bags of old practice balls I had and a lot better than sticking them in a skip.

The beach I spent most of my childhood summers at was next to a golf course, so they just turned up naturally. These days I buy them specifically for the purpose!
