My last sale to a wholesalers was 23000 balls in 2 months! 8000.00 bucks for only working for 3 to 4 hours a night. It's addictive as he'll. Have fun from Wisconsin!

That’s insane!! What a haul that was and some good profit made there. How did you manage to clean and grade them? Must’ve taken ages! 😂😂

Me and a mate do this in the winter after our rounds. Found over 3000 last year. Sold them to a company in Scotland and paid for my club membership, Great fun, despite the injuries. Nothing like the purple glow of a pro v1😀

That's a brilliant return on your time investment. Lottie and I went out together one evening and found loads more but not many good ones. I think a Saturday evening after a medal is the best time to head out and find some. Definitely with you on the glow of the PRO V1's!

I've done this a few times at my golf course by just booking a late tee time and checking with a torch whilst trying to play golf in the dark. They shut at say 8 but you can stay on after they shut. They do have a sign up saying that taking balls at "the end of the day" is stealing and you will be prosecuted so I don't know if that applies to members or just people generally walking on who haven't paid a green. It's mad how much the balls light up though, like its blinding white!

Yeah, these UV torches really do work wonders. I'd be surprised if they can legally do anything to be honest, and in truth, who is ever going to take you to court for looking for golf balls. Just because it's nighttime, is it any different from picking up a golf ball during your round that you happen to find lying in the bushes? Not really! My biggest concern when I head out is either a) getting attacked by a random stranger or b) getting attacked by a deer!!

Great video Andy, I've been doing this for 3 years lol I find balls to then sell 🙂normal time out is 1 hour 45 and I typically come back with 280-320 balls. Made just under £900 in that time, and I invest the money back into my golf equipment. My tips are, wear heavy duty gloves, wellies (for streams), and a bump hat, I also heavy duty arm protectors lol

Thanks for the nice comment, Neil! That’s a good return and some exercise at the same time, which is great. I took my little 7 year old out the week after and she had a blast. We found about 30 balls in just a very short space of time, so she was delighted! I don’t know if I could be doing with the hassle of selling them but good on you for making almost £1k!! I think my bigger plan is to go out a few more times, get them cleaned up and give any that I won’t realistically use to the junior section at our club. I’m sure the kids would make good use of them!

I’ve also been doing this for many years, it’s so easy. I walk the dog at night around my local course once a month. It must be a tricky course or the golfers are blind as I always fill a rucksack. I will say, to protect yourself against thorns and nettles. I’ve made £££££ over time, don’t play golf, but sell them and have a list of golfers that always buy.

Love to hear it, Bethan. Looks like you have a nice little business model here and are getting some extra exercise at the same time! I've not sold any of the balls I've found but they'll be useful for the range and I'm planning on gifting lots (the more I collect) to the local junior section at the golf club. I took my little 7 year old girl out at the weekend for 30 mins and she absolutely loved it. I thought she'd be frightened but wasn't scared one bit - even with those birds unexpectedly flapping about! We found 19 balls and she was delighted!!

Totally fine. At that price, it’s a no brainer. I’ve not been out much recently as I still have millions of balls and it’s been lighter in the evenings, but still works fine. It’s powered by standard batteries so they’ll maybe need a changing after a few rounds but it’s otherwise as good as it is in the video. Seriously impressed with how many balls I found with it

There's a golf course around where usually go for a walk, found 3 golf balls without any uv torch. Golf balls definitely go for some coin, each were about $3-4 as I checked online. Could be an alright side gig, didnt even check the driving range or anything yet!

You'll probably struggle to get $3-4 unless they're a decent ball and in great condition but you could try. I think most people have job selling bundles of mixed balls. In truth, I don't personally see doing this as a business unless you live near a course where thousands of balls are being lost, and even then, it's probably more hassle than it's worth. But, as a way of topping up your ball supply for the range of winter golf, it's worth considering...and it's good for exercise!

Yeah it was just on a walk, not as a business, but just had me thinking what if and it was kind of fun. Been through a lot of sht so it was good to take my mind off! haha

The main light beam is actually really good and shines up to around 100 yards or so. The UV has a much shorter range, but in truth, unless a ball is just lying on the short grass, you'd need to be up close(ish) to find it anyway. As you can see in the video, most balls are sitting within the rough or thicker stuff, but it does a wonderful job of highlighting those balls.
