The new "solid golf balls" don't have any identifiable "shelf life". Titleist says at least 7 years at room temperature.
Balls perform differently at different temperatures, whether they're new or old ... that's always been the case.
If there's ever been a documented example of solid core golf balls exceeding their shelf life, to the extent performance has degraded, I'd love to see it.
Besides, having 8-10 dozen golf balls around is probably about 3 months supply for someone who plays a lot golf ... trust me, they're not "going bad" in 2 months, even if you add in the year they sat in storage at the golf shop.
