I am going to try to collect golf balls from the woods at my course. Are they're people here that would be willing to buy them. Give me some prices, you would think is reasonable for different types of balls.

Take alook at eBay. There are a few sellers that sell "lots" of 50 or "lots" of 100 golf balls. You can buy either a mix of different balls or all of one kind. Each set is rated as to quality. I actually purchased a "lot" of 100 mint golf balls and shipping from FL to AZ was only $10 due to 100 balls fitting into a USPS "flat rate box". All the balls appear brand new.

Yeah its rough reselling.


You can get maybe $15 for a dozen proV1's that look like they were taken out of the sleeve and hit directly in the woods. Any inkling of a scuff, its basically a AA ball or worse. My favorite thing is buying a 100 or so Penta's or ProV's at the start of the year from the eBay users. Usually lasts me the whole season.

Waiting out the 2 feet of snow that just dropped on the course....

So, nobody is interested in any balls I find. So does anyone no wher
I could sell them.

Just get permission before you go out looking for golf balls. You can also ask the pro shop if they'd help you sell them. It will be hard to compete in price with online used ball sellers. I buy used Pro V1's from a bucket once in awhile at a course I go to. I believe they get them online and put them in the bucket. They sell the balls for $1 each and I get to pick the good quality ones. Hopefully you can ziploc bag golf balls in packs of 12 and try selling them at the pro shop. Or you can turn in all the balls you find to the pro shop in return for free rounds at the course.

If your course ever runs along a public street you could always try selling them there. I played at a course recently where you need to pass through a neighborhood to jump holes. Setup right on the street was a guy selling used golf balls out of the back of his truck.

I've also played at a course where a homeless gentleman was walking through the trees picking up balls and selling them. I tossed the guy a few bucks. At least he was trying to make an honest buck.

I would be intersted in buying them. I used to buy relaoded balls from my golf shop, but the shop has since gone out of business. Is there any reason why one should not buy the reload balls?

What's in my bag
SQ driver 9.5 degree
VR Irons 4-AW
White Ice #1
3 hybrid pro v1

Definitely purchased reloaded ProV1 balls last week for $13. Can't go wrong with that price at all.

Driver: VR STR8-FIT Tour *9.5
Woods: VR STR8-FIT Tour 3 *15, 5 *19
Irons: VR Full Cavity 4-AW
Putter: DF 990
Ball: Juice Plus 312

Someone will buy them. We bought 200 or so Titleist golf balls at a yardsale for $4!! We got 150 or more that were mint condition. That was a steal, but you should get $10-15 for a dozen big name balls if they're mint. Less if they show ware and tear.

Cleveland Hibore XLS Driver: Nike Ignite2 Irons: Adams SW and LW: Odyssey White Hot Mallet: Bridgestone e6 and TreoSoft Balls etc...

    • Day 34 (14 Dec 25) - Got outside for a few moments to work on bump and runs with the 4h (again using the exaggerated weight shift reminder of the left (lead) heel). Finding that it helps keep the downswing arc extended.

    • I am currently playing a Cobra Ltdx LS 9 degree driver and Cobra Ltdx LS FW3. Both with Tensei White stock stiff shafts and original weights of 12g (heel) and 3g (toe). My miss is usually a pull fade or sometimes a slice, swing is out to in. Driver swing speed about 112 mph. Grips are stock regular. Intended change: Driver: Switching to Tensei White x-flex one inch shorter which I suppose would be 44,5? Changing heel weight to 18g. Changing grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Change hosel setting to standard draw. FW3: Changing heel weight to 16g (apparently not available in FW weights, but supposed to be something called "internal weight" a club builder can add which fits between the weight and the screw?). Change grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Changing hosel setting to standard +1. The goal is to 1) get better grip since I tend so lose grip in warm and moist conditions with the current grips and 2) mitigate the misses to start more straight with less side spin. Also considering adding the Cobra Ltdx LS FW5 instead of my old Taylormade R9 and getting 14g heel and 6g toe weights with the same grip as the others and hosel setting standard +1.   All of the above is based on conversations with ChatGPT and, as everyone knows, it can come up with pretty much whatever but I spent a few hours asking about different perspectives etc and this was the recommendation. So, my question is basically, does it make any sense?   Thanks.
