  ...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.

  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?

  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. 🙂
