but the courses had beautiful scenery. . . and i had a couple of pars by the end of the day. none of these were high end courses. . except one. . . a british open qualifier links course where I lost about 2 boxes in the heather

I can't think of another consumer product, more driven by ego, than golf balls. I know plenty of guys who can't break 90, who insist they NEED $55/Dozen Titleist Pro V1's to "play their best game". Nonsense.
If you can't break 80, no golf ball is going to mean more than a stroke or 2 to your average.
My average from the Blue Tees in TV last winter, was around 74-75. I won't pay more than $25/Dozen. I just bought 8 Dozen Maxfli Tours for $22.50 a Dozen ... I should make it January!
