Overview

If you're a typical golfer, you have accumulated more used golf balls than you need. You can clean out your garage and make some extra money by finding a place to sell those balls. If you take the time to clean the balls and separate them by brand, type and quality, you can ask for a higher price on eBay or at flea markets.

Practice Facilities

Visit local driving ranges to find out which ones buy used balls. Although some upscale facilities buy only new practice balls, many driving ranges do not.

Golf Courses

Golf courses, just like practice facilities, may buy used golf balls for either their driving ranges or to resell as "experienced" golf balls in the pro shop.

Websites

An Internet search will reveal sites that buy used golf balls, but most of them require you to sell a minimum of several thousand balls. These sites include ILoveToGolf.com and OnlyGolfBalls.com. Another site, wbugb.com, has no minimum and bases its pricing on the average market prices for the brand of ball.

First, Prepare Golf Balls Before Selling

Over the years, you may have collected many golf balls that are stacking up in your house. Whether they are old golf balls you no longer use, ones that were hit into your yard, or golf balls that you hunted for, there is a chance that you will want to sell them and make some cash.

Selling your Recycled Golf Balls

Now comes the fun part, selling the golf balls you have collected and making that sweet, sweet profit!

Collecting Golf Balls–Getting Permission to Hunt

As you can see, selling gold balls can be a surprisingly lucrative business. The thing is, though, even if you have been playing golf for your whole life, you probably do not have an infinite amount of golf balls to resell. And, if you want to turn this into a side business or a full-on career, you are going to have to start golf ball hunting!

Collecting Golf Balls – Using the Right Tools

Now that you have permission from a golf course (or golf courses) to use their grounds to hunt for balls, it is time to start getting the right gear together. What you can afford and how much money you want to make will determine what kind of supplies you need to buy.

Staying Safe while Hunting for Golf Balls

Staying safe while searching for golf balls is a very important aspect of this work. Unsurprisingly, one of the major things you need to do to stay safe when you are diving is to be knowledgeable on how to operate your equipment effectively. Improper use will cause serious injury.

In Conclusion

If you want to get some extra money, selling used golf balls is a great route to go!

How to Find Golf Balls

A good time to find used golf balls is when you are looking for your own ball in the roughs, weeds, trees, trenches, and bushes. I’ve often found that when I go looking for my own ball off the sides of the fairway, I can easily end up with an extra two or three balls. Another player’s loss is your gain.

How to Clean Golf Balls

Since they’ve been plucked from the bottom of lakes and the deep rough, the golf balls you’ve found are probably going to be covered in mud, so you’ll want to clean them before you start selling them. Second-hand or not, no one wants to play with muddy balls, and peddling dirty balls won’t do your reputation as a seller any favors.

Sorting Used Golf Balls and Assigning a Price

Now that they’re all clean, it’s time to sort the golf balls into categories and price them up. Chances are, you’ve collected a wide variety of balls; some may be in excellent condition, others may be a bit worn out. And some may be premium standard, while others are more budget or practice-orientated.

How to Sell Used Golf Balls?

Finally, it’s time to sell the golf balls, and reap the rewards of all that hard work.
