What clubs are suggested to carry in a golf bag
Golf practice nets are very important for serious golfers. They allow a golfer to practice their golf swing and form and hit golf balls in a small space, like a backyard. Golf practice nets catch the golf balls so the golfer can practice in their backyard without breaking anything or losing the golf balls.
A hazzard in golf refers to any man made, or natural structure specifically positioned in a way that may stress the golfer's game, and cause them to add strokes. Some of the most common hazards are sand traps, and ponds. Sand is much more difficult to hit from so golfers tend to play their balls as far away from these as possible. It is impossible to hit a ball from the water, therefore when a golfer does, he or she is required to take a drop ball which results in an added stroke. Both of these are hazzards to the golfer because the pose the threat of adding strokes, and hurting the golfers score.

There is no requirement that the ball be removed, but it is considered good golf etiquette. As pointed out by one commentator, why deprive someone of that glorious sound of a ball hitting the bottom of the cup after all the hazards, mulligans and lost balls?
As an avid golfer, I love to receive golf balls! Golfers can never have enough! Monogrammed items are so nice to have, especially when playing with 3 other people. Also tees, towels, and gift cards to courses are always nice to have!
On average, about 40,000 golfers are injured by golf balls each year in the United States. The severity of injuries can vary from minor bruises to more serious injuries like fractures or concussions.
no, all golf balls come in the same sizes. The size of golf balls is regulated and must meet specific measurements for both size and weight.
yes
This depends on several factors from skill level, playing conditions, adherence to rules, frequency of play etc... Some "golfers" go out to the beach with a bucket of balls and "lose" them all, while other highly skilled "golfers" restricting their golf to golf courses "lose" very few balls; say, in regulation perhaps a ball every few rounds, and most often merely retire their balls when they wear out sufficiently to effect playability. Speaking from experience, and thinking only of time spent on golf courses, most skilled players (say less than 6 handicap) probably lose 0-1 balls/round, good to average players(6-18+ handicap) 0-3 or 4 balls/round. Of note it depends on how this statistic is scored. There is the semantic difference between hitting a ball O.B. being considered a "lost ball" vs. not being able to find the ball that was just hit (perhaps even including special cases like plugging in the fairway and getting lost).
The golf balls are property of the golf course on which they are, taking these balls could lead to prosecution. However, if you ask the owners of the golf course you may be able to take them.
