I have just finished teaching a guy to dive who works for our local golf course.
A few weeks ago he asked if I would be interested in getting two or three divers together and diving the courses water hazards to retrieve the lost golf balls.
Could be a bit of a laugh I thought, and something that I had heard of people doing before.
I sorted it out with his boss and it turns out they have had people do it before, but not for about five years.
Now for the good bit.... he wants to pay us $500 per day, plus 75 cents per golf ball for the good ones, down to 45 cents for the not so good. He reckons that the last time they did it they got 1000's out (three oil drums full).
Sounds like we can't lose, has anyone tried this before and got any tips?, the water is about 6ft deep and we where going to do a jackstay search with a boat on the surface following the divers. We where also going to have four divers split into two teams and taking it in turns as the water is going to be about 40 degrees.
