  1. Lakes give a lot if u dive in them prolly 100k a year up to make even more but you gotta watch out for alligators 🐊

    1. I’ve actually seen someone with a wetsuit and snorkel gear with a fucking shitload of golf balls one time at a course. No doubt he was selling them. Some courses have special rakes that take the bottom of the ponds tho

    2. I hit 3 shots off the tee into a pond, a diver came up and asked what was going on. Blew my mind.

  3. Careful where you do this especially at night. Some courses will have wild critters that can do a lot of harm. Alligators, coyotes and so on

    Edit: And skunks! That will ruin your week too

    1. @@Knell000 Yeah dude. Golf courses in Florida for example have lots of alligators in the water. You can see videos of it. They also have lots of green iguanas and those can take your toes, fingers, ruin your shoes, take a chunk out of your leg. They death roll and have cookie cutter jaws with razor sharp teeth. Florida also has alligator snapping turtles. Not much of a threat, but they can take fingers and toes too if you get too close. Golf courses in certain regions are full of wildlife and it’s not always harmless. Coyotes kill cats and live in my area of SoCal. I went to the cemetery the other day and saw 4 coyotes. They descend into the city from the mountains and surrounding desert to eat critters and scavenge garbage. Just remember to stay safe wherever you happen to be.

    2. I remember that I saw 2 stray kittens that were jumping about in the trees.
      Still don’t know if they were found or not

  5. Next side hustle idea: selling crack
    You could also be one of those people who get hired to cry at funerals or even better, confess peoples secrets at the funeral

    1. This gave me a good laugh lol definitely a better idea than collecting golf balls 😂😂

    2. Sell crack.
      Buyer of said Crack dies due to over dose
      Cry at funeral
      Confess they brought Crack and some other secrets

      EASY MONEY

  6. The golf balls are glowing like collectibles in a side quest
    “Golf Balls Collected: 13/30”

    1. If it was a Ubisoft game it would be like
      1/50 white golf balls
      5/50 green golf balls
      2/50 smooth golf balls
      10/50 vintage golf balls

  7. I did this with a friend one time when we were on a course, rumors had it they would pay us for turning it in to the the desk. Well we spent the whole day collecting, had 200+ balls and they paid us exactly $0

  8. You can separate the premium golf balls (pro-v1, tp5, cromesoft, etc…) from the budget balls and people will gladly by those balls for 2$ each

  9. I did this and ran an eBay store when I was 16-17 and sold over 6,000 golf balls. Had it down to a science. Pro tip washing machines with some towels and you can crank out several hundred golf balls damage free to the washer at a time. (I literally did this while my mom was asleep at night she still doesn’t know). From there you separate them into categories. titlest pro v 1 is just straight money man those sold so hot and for so much more. I did pro v 1s by grade that I’d assign to the condition of the ball in packs of 15. Why 15? A small flate rate USPS box with a tracking number and insurance included with the box and tape and print the label online at home for a discount and that’s the lowest possible way to mail 15 golf balls. ($35 you get for the balls, minus 8 for shipping, 2 eBay fees) From there packs of random assorted good condition 100 golf balls in a medium flate rare shopping box USPS again printed at home, sold for $45 minus $14 and minus $4 eBay fees. So essentially every golf ball was worth at least a quarter, and every pro v 1 was worth at least 5x as valuable. So then you just need to target the rich of the rich golf courses, the ones where everyone plays pro v 1s. Figure out spots you can hit up discreetly / tough to get. I wore full camo with a large backpack and would fill it up within an hour or two. I’d get incredibly dirty on my hands and knees on all fours. You do whatever it takes. Crushed college tuition money with this. Still got my eBay certificates from being a top rated seller. 2009 represent

  10. Hey man, I started lawn mowing a couple mouths ago and made bank, I ride my bike around my neighborhood and ask people if they want their lawn mowed. I charge about 10-20 bucks depending on the size. Try it out.

  11. “I found some golf balls strapped to some random guy, so I cut it off and sold it on the dark web. These special golf balls cost $10,000 so that was cool.”

  12. It’s been a hustle in multiple places across America for a long time most popular amongst middle school kids

  13. Picking golfballs during the day is back because if someone hits the ball and you pick it up they won’t be able to find it so they have to take a drop
