subject: How To Earn A Living Selling Pre-owned Golf Balls [print this page] Used golf balls are always good to use when you are practicing your golf game. When you do not want to waste brand-new balls that are likely to simply go missing, it is best to practice using these older options instead. If you have lots of these balls, however, you may consider the idea of making some money off them. As such, here are some tips on how to make money selling used golf balls.
The first thing you need to do is to purchase a retriever. A retriever will allow you to fish out golf balls from different ponds on golf courses. There are a number of different retrievers that you might consider getting, and so should look at the different options available on the Internet and in your local golf shop.
When you have this retriever you should then get in touch with some local golf courses and find out whether they would allow you to use it on the course. Surprisingly, you will find that most courses will allow this to happen simply because they do not want to do the job themselves.
When you have got all of the balls together you need to check them all out. Not all of them will be able to be sold and many will be damaged and should thus be discarded immediately. Those that are fairly fresh and just dirty can simply be cleaned and then will be ready to be sold on.
You can then start to decide how you are going to separate the balls. You might want to separate them by their different brands or you might consider the idea of making some mixed sets. You need to decide how you are going to do this before you start to sell them.
When you have done this then you can then call up some local golf courses and driving ranges. These places will always require plenty of used balls for their different customers to use. As such, you can sell them to them throughout the year and demand is always likely to be fairly high. In fact, you may even sell back some balls that you have retrieved from the golf course to the same course.
There will be other places where you can sell the balls as well. For example, mini golf courses will also be in need of these balls, or you might even consider the idea of setting up an online shop.
