Like Steve said, there's no direct way to do this. However, you can make it a
little simpler by using an array.
#declare n=20;
#declare Pos=array[n]
#declare Pos[0]=<10,0,10>;
#declare Pos[1]=<14,0,11>;
...

#declare GolfBall=sphere{0,1}
//Then run a loop to put the golf balls
#declare i=0;#while (i<n) object{GolfBall translate Pos[i]} #declare i=i+1; #end

//and then another loop to make the ground
difference{
    plane{y,0}
    #declare i=0;#while (i<n) object{GolfBall scale 1.1 translate Pos[i]}
#declare i=i+1; #end
}
