I think they have a search box on top of SB enter golf balls,there are lots of threads.
its a hard job & could be dangerous you hear about divers new and old dying doing this!
you need to be safe,visibility can be zero,your solo diving,most times no fins are used,you use a minnow basket with a net on the bottom that is cut out,you need a sorter & counter rack,burlap bags purchased at feed mill,pallets to stack and ship filled bags.
it's hard work and money can be good $20 + hr
That said you need to get a in,,, most golf courses are contracted by a golf ball recovery company that pays the course,recovers the balls.
You may contact several courses in your area for contact information on whom dose recovery for them.
Then get in contact and do some training with the divers in the area.They will for sure give you low yield areas to work and your pay will be not much but as you learn the ropes you may get some areas to do and work as a subcontractor.
Good luck man, be safe!

Why ask us? If you want to do this, go talk to the golf course owners. It all boils down to that.

I'd be worried about the water quality. Just think about all the fertilisers, pesticides etc that get used on a golf course and most of it is going to run off into the water traps and storages.
Some water on golf courses has such and unnaturally blue colour that it prob'ly glows in the dark.
