Great Find!!

Post by mjd »

Just been to My Local golf course - pitch n putt.............. Hoping it might be free on a night, it wan't..... Had to pay £4 to go round, but! and its a huge BUT!



I could not Beleive it when I arrived on the 3rd! (right of the Driving range)

Balls Everywhere! And it wasn't hard to see why, as the Driving range was packed :lol:

and as I sliced my Tee shot onto the 5th fairway there were even more balls galore! spent about 10 minutes just picking up balls



went out with 5 balls, Stopped by at a friends for more, he gave me about 10 balls?





I came back with.............



































43 Balls!!



Thats a gain of 28 golf balls!!

Nice taxing eh! couldn't beleive it. Also that 3rd hole is soooooo dangerous!

They will be those useless "compact" balls. No elastic in them.. and probably stamped with the golf course name.

That said, what are you going to do with your new found balls???!

Aye, those range balls are shite really. Don't play anything like real balls, and don't travel as far. Rubbish!
