Nah, they have divers come once a year. Fill up big bags. Don't know
what they do with them. I've
got too many 'free' balls now, and the grandkids don't want anymore.
When I find them now, I'll give
the guys I'm with first dibs, then they just get left where someone can have them.
The divers sell them.
They end up at flea markets and dollar stores.
The balls that the grounds keepers find at my wife's course end up in
a barrel at the pro shop, for free. It speeds up play if you get free
balls
The problem is that you old guys are cheap and if you lose a 25 cent ball you are going to
take your whole 5 minutes searching for it. If everyone in your group loses a ball every
other hole then you will cause a hell of a back up on the course.
My father in law was cheap and he was determined to find his lost balls.
Beware the golfer with a 25 foot ball retriever.
When I played golf, I normally finished with extra balls. When you drive
to the edge of the fairway, more likely to happen on extra balls.
