Here is an excerpt from Frank Thomas in Golf Digest. I think I was a little off so play away!!!!
What is the estimated shelf life of new golf balls?
-- D.L., Fairfield, N.J.
The shelf life of a new ball today, assuming you're not storing it in a place of high humidity or high temperatures, is at least four to five years. But use them. Golf balls are not like fine wine. Of course, if the balls are of the old wound variety, then they will deteriorate faster and are probably useless today. If you have any of these, leave them where they are. In 100 years or so, your great-great-grandchildren can find them, sell them and go out and buy some new ones.
