I talked to a local shop and they said if I want to skim the water for pond balls and return the range balls I can.

do they make a hand held retriever to skim the water for 4-6 balls at a time?

I just want to get about 80-100 balls which shouldnt take long

I just want a tool/machine that skims the bottom of the floor of the pond

not a single ball getter

I would be doing this for personal use, and to help out the course

not when people are golfing

I get all the non range balls, and it cost me 0 dollars to do

its just something I can do while waiting on a 5 man... as I usually play single and I would say the ponds are usualy 40x40ft

A friend of mine uses an old, weighted bicycle basket on a rope. Just chuck it out there and haul 'em in. You can pretend you're on an episode of "Deadliest Catch".

I have seen a basket looking affair.

Please get one and come down to Gordon Lakes golf course in Augusta, Ga.

We'll head over to our island hole and bring a cooler full of beer. It will probably turn into a party as folks find out about.

Everyone can describe their ball mark in detail ahead of time and we'll hold a contest on who gets the most of theirs back.

Been playing that couse a year and a half.....bet I've lost 6 dozen balls in that surrounding hazard....and then a few on the next hole's tee shot....as I'm normally pissed off when I get there and bust out a big hook trying to kill the ball.

They are holding a Hooters Tour tourney this week....I may head over there and watch that hole....just to see if it bites them, too. It will be playing ~180 yards for them.

I have a rake that is made to pick up pecans from around trees. Sometimes I bring it along on a smaller couse I play and it works great. Just drag it back and forth near the edge of a pond and I almost always get something.

I get behind alot of slow players lately and this seems kinda entertaining

my uncle resells them to friends and has 10x10 gallon buckets full of balls

I figured he goes on land at the course... why not go on water

    • Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

    • I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus. 
    • I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
