One of my local churches is right next-door to a golf course.
The pastor goes round once a week and collects up the balls and sells them for charity.

Aptly they're named Amazing Grace balls, because they "once were lost, but now are found"

Im a relatively new golfer, Im loving it like you.
I think the less shots you take in a round, the more each shot has cost you in £s. I think I am getting fabulous value for money when I take over 100 shots to go round 18 holes, and if I were to hit less shots then surely the cost per shot is higher. Come on Martin, you can see the sense in that! Chritina.

Even newer to the game, not yet on the par 9 , still going to the driving range and the chipping area.
But have made a few purchases of of ebay ( you will like this , very MSE) Two new golf bags , 99p each.
Bag , full set of clubs and trolley for 99p and a separate better trolley for ... yes 99p >( all of course demanded collection )Did not intended to get so much gear , whilst not really yet playing , but put in the bids and they all turned up trumps.
PS the glove was expensive £2

Martin, a ball with a locator is going to cost way more than twice the price of a regular ball.
