    ...allowed players to find used golf balls lost by other players.  Maybe they don't have much life left to them, but it'd be a fun little extra just like in real life when you find a ball better than yours.

    Oh, no! WGT will start selling diving suits in the pro shop then!

    I like your idea, though. I find it very interesting! 👍

    A buddy of mine and myself did this very thing many years ago. I still have about a 100 of the balls left, but then again I dont play much any more, only a few games a year. We prob got about 500 balls out of 1 pond in about a hour.

    Does anyone on a golf tour pick up other players' balls? (This is World Golf Tour!)

    Which club to drop for the sake of a ball retriever?

    Which success rate to expect at which cost?

    Is it just me or does Simon's picture appear to depict a diver shaking hands with a disembodied hand!

    EDIT :

    What an imagination, Scott! 😆 Have you been watching lots of detective dramas or murder mysteries lately? 😉

    Love a good murder mystery Simon, I always enjoyed Prime Suspect. : )

    either that or he found a golf glove, but might as well toss it back as it looks kind of stiff to me.

    I've got a neighbour selling those balls every weekend or so during the summer. 😁

    Yeah, he just took off one of his gloves and about to toss it on the ground. 🙂
