Golf Ball Divers

[K Mejean]

I still didn't get how much money they make. I would consider doing it on the side if the money was good. Hell I live in Florida. There are a ton of golf courses here. Someone hook me up with some info here. I might seriously want to do this.

I make 8 cents per ball. The company I work for pays for all of the shipping, shipping bags and labels. They also send me receipt book, etc. I have heard of some divers making 10-12 per ball, but they have more expenses to cover themselves.

Does your company have any divisions in Florida?

Sure those gators are all small. Usually not more than 4 feet. I would probably carry a speargun and a couple good dive knives.

None of the above. I subcontract for a company that has contracts with the courses The courses get compensated (by the contractor) with either cash or balls. All I do is let the contractor know when I want to work, check my email for the location and head to the course. When I get about 30,000-45,000 balls (about every two weeks), I let the contractor know and they setup the shipping. Good easy money!!! I see your from Colorado. Looking for a job??

I'm brand new to the business and actually I'm doing my first two courses this weekend. I'm carrying all cost so far. Depending on how things go I may take you up on a job. e-mail me some details on what your offering (petegalle@gmail.com) and I'll keep in touch.

By the way "Bags" says Hi. I work with him at Buckley, small world huh...

Were you the guys on that episode of Dirty Jobs? Those guys had quite a set up for cleaning, sorting and packaging.

All I know is:
1. Lakes eat my golf balls... and I want them back....
2. Trying to carry golf clubs and scuba gear... has got to be hard
3. The only good whole on the course is 19
