Walker570 Posted December 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 Having received some very useful information from one of our members this offer is now withdrawn. He asked me to check the model of the balls and on looking I found in extremely small lettering which I could only decifer by using my magnifying specs .... refurbished..... So they will go into the practise pail for my wife at the range. These balls have apparently been recovered from lakes and ponds on courses and then cleaned up to look like new. They apparently used to have the term in large print, but now the printed word is almost undecipherable certainly by the naked eye. Hmmmmmmm !!

Dave-G Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 I watched a guy mooching about on my local course one night with my thermal roof spotter. As I got closer I saw he was shining a UV torch into a ditch. It turns out he was an old acquaintance who collects lost balls and sells them to members of the club. The UV light makes them glow.

Swarovski Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 (edited) The yellow ball certainly looks like a driving range ball.. As for the others they would go just like new balls all over the shop with most club golfers as this is where they came from... Long grass and the water hazards.. Beats paying silly money for a ball to lose it on its first hit 😅 Edited December 7, 2020 by Swarovski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Best Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 I know a farmer bordering a golf course. His wheat gets full of balls and golfers are strictly forbidden on his land to look for them. They are 50p each in his farm shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisheruk Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 Never thought of selling them on FB Hmm, there are always loads around on the golf courses I shoot, may start popping them in my pocket 😳 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlistairB Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 I used to pick up hundreds while out walking the dogs. The half decent ones got sold to the golfers in the office for between 50p and £1 each depending on make and model, Pro V1 and Pro V1x being the most expensive.
