Friend of mine used to provide "home care" for an older lady who lived on a local golf course. She said the lady was always joyous when she found "easter eggs" in her back yard

Bosco lives to find golf balls. If he sees one in our yard, he looks at me crying then looks out back until I let him go get it. If I just happen to let him out back for any reason he makes a beeline straight into the bushes and ALWAYS comes out with a golf ball.

 !As a teen, when kids actually played backyard tackle football .... a Sunday afternoon game across from the "club" was a tradition.... "Goldie" was the lovable neighborhood retriever that always had a tennis ball in her mouth.... she'd just go up to the tennis courts and grab one from outside the fence .

I have a basket of about 50 golf balls that I've found in my yard and I keep it on the deck so they can all see it. I found three in the last week.

About a month’s worth…
 This crate in the garage has been filled a couple of times…  I take them to the First Tee boys and girls club…they have a driving range and their own course. I think my wife has decided she’s going to hand out papers with instructions on how to cure a hook. |

True story- My first job was at a golf club. I washed peoples balls and waxed their clubs.

As to your Wife and the pamphlet for curing a hook.
You could put up a Little Free Library and stock in with things like Golf for Dummies. There is a lot of potential here. |

Fun stuff.
Be light-hearted about it: “May the course be with you...” Bonus points if they are Catholic and a Star Wars fan. Not mine but it works. Last edited by Seahawk; 10-16-2023 at 01:56 PM.. |

Lots of great comment but this thread reminded me of a scene from the movie "Casino".
Do you remember when the FBI ran out of fuel and they had to land their plane on a golf course? As soon as the Wise Guys realized who's plane it was they started taking shots at it with gold balls! lol... "Hundred Dollars whoever hits the plane" https://youtu.be/jFPV16f182w?si=_Pj2_EZ3iVJm20ZN
