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....

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?

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

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.

    • I found this video... Old Method 1. Open the clubface a ton 2. Open the stance a ton 3. Swing along the foot line New Method 1. Set up with the handle lower, and the ball further away form the body. 2. The clubface still opens up, but lowering the handle helps in not having to open the stance as much or for some keep the stance closed. Keeping the stance closed allows them to keep their weight forward much easier.  Now, I question that the PGA Tour players are hitting steeply down into the sand. I think they may have gotten this wrong in the video. You can load up the weight on the front foot, and still hit the ball shallow. The amount of sand taken out in some of the swings is not that much, and the divot doesn't look that deep.  Thoughts?
    • I would say I am not a fan. Honestly, I never ran into a situation where a tree root was anywhere close to the fairway. I am not a fan of free relief from a natural occurring feature of the course. Guess what, you have an option, unplayable lie. I know people think fairways should be pristine and free of all things that could inhibit your shot. I've played courses were big a** trees overhang a fairway and you have no shot at the green. It happens. If you think you will injure yourself, or do not want to chip out sideways from a root, then take an unplayable lie.  If you apply this rule, what is stopping someone from not being able to take a right-handed swing to being able to take a swing? A tree could be in the fairway (think hole #18 at Pebble Beach). They are like, I need relief. Now they get to have a shot at the green when the tree is there as an obstruction, something to play around.  Sorry, I do not think this is a good rule at all. If the course has that many trees, that it comes up a ton. Then vote as a club to have them removed. 
    • I've thought about this quite a bit since I've started using Shot Scope. Not all shots from a certain yardage that end up a certain distance from the hole are created equal, but I guess the thought is that over time those should even out since there would be other times where you're hitting into a funnel pin or something where it plays "easier" than what the SG suggests.

    • I voted decent weather golfer.  Generally it needs to be over 50 and sunny with no wind or over 70 if there is wind or rain.  I generally don't play in the rain or when it is over 95 unless it is league night and I can't reschedule or some type of event. Most of the time that I have played in the rain is because we just got caught in the rain, almost never tee off in the rain. We did tee off in the rain the first time we played at Eaglesticks, but it was warm and there was not much of a chance of rain and while it absolutely poured for a while, it stopped after 4 or 5 holes.
