This video reminds of a time around 40+ years ago going on different Golf Courses late in the night and barefooted & walking through those muddy bottom ponds an feeling for Golf Balls between our toes to take back home to hit with a 9 iron Golf Club. I then called the Golf Balls my one hitters. I had a 4 acre pond outback behind my house and when they didn't clear the pond, then they would stay in the pond. There's a couple of thousands that are still in the pond. ⛳🚩

Watching you digging up all those golf balls got me to thinking back when i was a kid that's how we made extra money, was getting into the golf course ponds and getting the balls out and selling them back to the Club House. We got a .25 for the bad balls, and .50 for the good balls !! Shit it added up, and we was on our way with a pocket full of money , so we thought anyway...lolololol.... Good times, Good times !! lolol.. Great as always Chris !! Have a Great evening Man !! And , On too the Next.....

Imagine Chris having to use matts to clear a water hazard pond 😀 They got the job done to the clubs delight I'm pretty sure. Anyone else notice who many golf balls he was scooping up with each scoop. Most likely a couple of thousands of dollars worth that have been cursed at by golfers.

So can tell your viewers about the schooling and training you had to get into this line of work because what you do is beyond grabbing a shovel and digging a hole in the ground, I know there's a lot of math involved in these complex jobs you do.
