Fellow reseller here. Learned something about a different resale market.
Tip: the credo that has paid off the most for me in resale: "touch each item as few times as possible." This is meant to save time. Organize while you clean instead of making it a separate step. Even better if grab like 30 5g buckets and organize from the pond. Make these the same container you fill with the water/bleach mix. So much time burned with unnecessary transfers/steps. Less time = more money per hour.
I used to be a furniture mover and we had a similar rule to make sure we could always get it done in a day. "Never pick something up twice if you don't have to" from the house straight to the truck in the stack. Organizing inside the truck can kill the whole day
So many balls! I could probably play like 3 rounds of golf with all those 😂
if you didn't put "of golf" there it would of been OVER for you
@@youraveragescot💀
bro is capping
HE REMEMBERED HIS UA-cam PASSWORD
😂
Yeah he really did 😂
Lol
Yeah I seen the video w&n they dumped them there
You are funnny😅
8:30 I feel like this part could be a lot faster/easier if ya'll put a tarp on the bottom of the truck bed.
Started watching your videos early this summer and because of you guys I also began golf ball hunting on the side and reselling a huge amount of them. Thank you for inspiring me a bit to do a side hustle glad to see you guys drop a new video!
Glad to see you guys making videos again
Also same
I remember going to the golf course when I was A kid in the early 80's and finding golf balls then cleaning and selling them.Brought back good old memories.
That sure was one mammoth task ❤but you both did an orsome job 👌.
Loved the box at the end with the cool and rare balls.
Greetings from England 🇬🇧 Simon and Beth ❤❤❤
This is my first time seeing you guys hopefully y’all had fun this is something I am really interested in y’all did a great job can’t wait to see what y’all do when it comes to a related video.
The St Andews and Palmer balls will be elastic bands inside, they are freaky when you but one in half. As a kid all the balls were like that and they split a lot more often in play, they would bulge out on one side, disintegrate off the tee etc.
this brings back memories, used to sneak onto the golf course in the morning with my gandpa when i was a kid and bring home golfballs that we would find in bushes, counted them after he died we had around 700 of them
That's pretty awesome, guess grandpa was super nice
Some of my best top shelf balls came out of ponds that were emptied for cleaning. If you ever see any balls laying around without an owner around check out the make and model of it. Could be a damn good ball.
Well done lads I love this. I used to do this as a kid and it was like treasure hunting.
I did the same thing once with my dad, rip, in Wayland Massachusetts. We didn't have enough containers to carry the balls out. It was mind boggling
That was like mining for golf balls. Very cool, I bet you could have gotten even more if you stayed a few more hours.
When i was a kid, age 13-16ish, my parents summer camp was course membership for me, and when they drained the hazards i would fill my bag, ended up with a pretty decent collection of oddity balls
Love how you guys are tired from rubbing balls 😂
Annette was working hard that night!
Please do more videos like this.. You guys are the reason that I have a job right now seeking and finding mint golf balls to sell
Will do!
great job, get yourself a pair of work gloves when pulling through all that stuff.. Never know sharp pieces of glass or plastic that will ruin your night. Keep it up!!!!
Thank you for posting again 🙏🙏
Thank you.
I have been watching your videos since your first video came out and to gave me the idea to start for my own and not this summer i earned about 600 dollars.
I am from Norway so its not so many golfplayers but still thank you so much
That's awesome, glad to hear it!
Callaway with B on it is a belfry ball from the uk 🤙🏻
You need to move the red spacers on the garbage can wheels to the inside. Figured it out myself after the can kept tipping over. It will give you more stability.
it would be cool in videos like this to see a box of all the pro v1's you found. Just separating white and yellow is cool but it could be cooler imo by sorting out and showing the volume of quality balls you found.
that is impressive! well done fellas
Get a range servant machine cleaner! Best purchase I made.
Nice work guys.
Years ago when I was young, I used to collect golf balls and what we used to clean them we found a old concrete mixer, a portable one and we put some rubber brushes in it. If I remember right, we use like the big broom brushes and of course we put our chemicals in there to clean themand we could do thousands of them at a time and they came out very very good. Just thought I’d put that at ya.
You should pick up a little giant bedding fork to sift the balls. It’s like 25 bucks would make it way easier. It’s what you use to pick turds out of a horse stall but it should do the trick
I met a guy at a Bob Evan’s countertop many years ago. Started talking to him and it turned out he was diver that would retrieve golf balls out of lakes at golf courses. So, I made a deal with him, I would buy every golf ball he brought me for $.10 a piece. I was buying them by the thousands. I started selling them in batches of 100 on eBay. Made okay money, but the dollars/hour made it not lucrative enough to continue the effort. Was a fun experience though. Keep it up boys, you never know where this will lead you!
Great job. In Oct 2023 I was in a tournament with my work in NC USA. My job gave me 3 balls for the day, my boss gave me 3 more balls! Sweet. *** I found 15 more balls during the game *** . I had by own balls in my bag, so I was not worried of running out of balls.
Keep it up guys love the content from the golf ball man from the UK 🇬🇧 😊
If you line the truck bed with a tarp it will be easy to fold up the corners and pull tarp to funnel into tubs
Get an old washing machine and fill it with couple of towels and some couple caps of bleach or de greaser dump some balls in and start the wash YW
Crazy amount of golf balls.
You guys should try using clam digging rakes.
I love how he has a hat on in the middle of the night
i just looked at your site. I had no idea a used golf ball would sell for so much .
You advertise that you don't sell pond balls but then you get golf balls from a pond?
Those balls are so beyond ruined if they were in a lake, especially one that dried up and trapped all them in the mud..
I don’t golf so it may be a stupid question but I’m genuinely curious, why would they be ruined? I could see the sun possibly damaging the, over time if out of the water but other than that I’d think they’d be fine for the most part.
Water can break down the smooth outer coating of the ball making it squish more. Also water can seep into the balls. If your only a beginner golfer there probably fine, but if your more experienced you'll want new balls.
Lakeballs are a big business, as long as they are specifically advertised as lakeballs everyone knows what they are getting.
@@Debbiebabe69 if people want to play with less than optimal performance balls then go ahead! I was just commenting to let people know that balls found in those conditions are generally not in the best shape of their lives
With this many golf balls from a pond, are they still good quality even after cleaning? I started getting some from the pond and alot are bubbled up on the outside …
We need more UA-cam content this was awesome
You need to park on a slight hill and create some sort of funnel system to get them out of your truck
My daughter has just started a golf ball collecting business...so will definitely share this channel with her. When you clean the balls, I notice you soak them in water and some bleach and then clean them with a cloth....do you also clean off any custom markings that have been written on a ball (initials etc) with like a magic marker or texta? If so, I would be curious to know what you use to get these markings off because simply soaking them in water with bleach them cleaning with a rag doesn't seem to remove these markings. Thanks
Great Video! Thank you 🔥👏💪🫶
Glad y’all are making long videos again!
Thanks, more to come soon!
This is pretty cool, i know the video is old but somethings i would suggest if you got the chance to do something similar again would be, a sand flea rake and depending on budget and how much you plan to invest in this bussiness, a shaker Screener Sieve Machine or a couple of cheap 30L ultra sonic cleaners.
Awesome? Good for you guys.
Have fun with them
My grandma passed in 2015, golfing still lives on in me. As a former pizza chef that made fox 2 news I would totally love to have that pizza ball!!! Let me know what I gotta do to get it!
use a clam rake next time you go. good job guys
Dude you need an excavator and a big screener over a tub circulating water and you could just scoop deep and far out washing as you go. You could fill up a dump truck in an hour! 😂
That’s like $3000 of golf balls❤😂
I couldn't imagine finding golf balls at a golf course..
I am so happy you are making vids now!!!!
I like when u sho the rare golf balls I collect them too 😂 👍💎
Interesting, and a bummer to know even a pristine golf course can hide a heap of garbage.
I love your guys videos can’t wait for more, I do stuff just like you guys sometimes with my friends, I am 12 years old
the algorithm leads me to such random videos
So it seems like you could do less work if you consolidated your movements. Why not sort as you are washing each one by hand and putting them in matching piles? Seems like doubling up your work load.
I am also surprised you don’t use a tarp or 10. I guess maybe that is a Midwest and Northern thing with leaves and in general. 😂
Awesome channel
i think i saw you mention the danger of snakes once, so i was wondering why not bring one of those ballpickers with the long pipe mechanism and bag to store the balls in?
Polar ball is used for the cannon you see at charity tournaments. They knuckle when shot. You can shoot them close to 400 yards
I cant wait for move videos you are the best
Just found your yt channel and im already a big fan of your content. I hope you will make more vids in the future.
This is royal palms! I used to work at this course 😂
Wow that’s a lot of balls! Can you do a hunt in a creek?
Love the videos and the ambition, keep it up
The pizza and sushi balls were my favorite.
I love your videos,keep doing what you're doing please
Appreciate it, more to come soon!
Since i'm Canadian i my favourite is the calaway canada ball 😅
I was at a driving range one day and got that exact color of putt putt ball out of the dispenser, it’s still in my bag
did you gonna go back when the middle dried more?
Any Pro V1s with the initials SB on it are mine!
did you go back and get the rest?
profit wise, you are 'raking' it in
Have you considered ways to streamline this process? It looks like from the pond to sorting, you're touching each ball 5-6 times.
I’m interested in doing this in my area, how do you approach the course? Assuming you sell the balls, do you offer the course a cut?
If you lay a tarp down before putting the balls in the truck bed, you can collect the water and soap like a bucket when you're at the carwash and clean the balls like a bath tub, not a shower.
I don't know many golfers that want to hit water-logged balls from the bottom of a lake. Cool cleanup project but those balls gonna feel like a rock.
Lots of recreational golfers have no idea of the different types of balls they play as long as they’re fairly new..
@@Tom-ok2rh This has nothing to do with the brand or the model. When a ball sits in the mud or under-water, it soaks up a bunch of water.
A golf ball is supposed to weigh 1.62 ounces. When they sit in the water for too long their weight can balloon up over 2 ounces.
They can even start growing mold inside which will eat and degrade the rubber core. They feel awful off of the club.
If you handed me two identical looking balls, but one is waterlogged, I can probably tell you which is which just by feeling the weight.
I can DEFINITELY tell you which is which once I hit them both. A water-logged ball has a dull "thunk" or "thud" sound instead of the "crack" of a fresh ball.
I love what you do....hope you continue and get some AUTOMATION/MACHINES because otherwise this will not scale well (talking about your back and your time).
Note to self find dried up ponds when we don’t get rain in FL
what are you doing with them after ?
minigolf golf ball is my fav
Cool side hustle
Great vid hope you guys keep posting
Your voice is so chill. Where can I buy golf balls?
Appreciate it, and you can go golfreuseshop.com to buy some golf balls but I also linked our website in the description of this video.
@@golfreuseare you going to start posting a lot cause your vids are very entertaining and enjoyable
I feel super thanks for asking
Those net fulls are closer to 2 to 3 hundred. A large bucket at the range usually has 100
I have that exact same St. Andrew’s ball. They’re sold as replica/collector balls.
Pro v's for life, heaven!
How do you guys convince the course I live on one but I’ve never ask them to go on what’s the key
I love your work
You could use a shop vac fastened to the top of your trash can to suck them back into it after washing
You found a St Andrew's ball that might actually be from St Andrew's in Scotland, dude. I don't care to know, but I hope you know of St Andrew's.
Does this affect the performance of the golf balls? Staying in there for this long?
You're moving them so many times you should have brought those buckets with you and have them in the back of the truck
Yes however that trash can and 8th way full prolly weighs at least 20-40 lbs
I ride by bike around the desert outside of town collecting scrap. I also collect the golf balls, but they are in bad condition. I have like 20 of them
Water-logged golf balls don’t fly very well.
In another video you said as long as the balls dont sit in the water for long they are ok and you dont find balls in the water. So do you tell the people buying those balls that they were in a pond?
You realize most used balls were found underwater right?
How do y’all find these dried up golf ponds? I’m trying to find some in my area but don’t know how to 😂
He sounded like the definition of tired
