When playing a round by myself, I often find myself spending more time collecting balls from adjacent fields and woods than I do actually playing golf... there is something strangely therapeutic about it!
Love how grown men get so excited about finding golf balls, the same happens to every amateur golfer. We lose that many, out for nowt. Fun video boys, made me giggle. Batteries and beers required 😂😂😂 keep up the good work 👍🏻👍🏻
Started playing March this year, I'm happy when the balls I've found replace the balls I've lost. Starting to lose less balls now though. But not yet played around with just the one ball.
@@Kpizzle1289 I've played for years and don't think I've gone a single round without losing a ball (don't count short par 3 courses) lol. If you don't lose a ball, you don't get the opportunity to find everyone else's lost balls 🤣
@@GolfMates We used to play '1 point for a tee, 2 points for a ball, 10 points for a club', points taken off your final score. A poor game with the clubs could be turned to a win by a good hoard of golf balls, tees, and if you are lucky, clubs
You were absolutely right. After watching your video I went on Amazon and ordered one of those flashlights. It arrived this evening around dark, I live on a golf course and figured, what the heck. I’m a member at this particular country club so I know where the honey pots are. I went out there with my new flashlight and within 45 minutes I found over 50 golf balls and most of them looked brand new and most were Titleist. It’s easy and fun, it’s like hunting for glowing Easter eggs😆I could well afford to buy my own golf balls but it’s fun and easy. Thanks for the tip👍
Watching on the telly. Mrs just said "are you actually watching Liam look for golf balls?". At first I was proud to say "yes, yes I am". A few moments later, I'm prouder to say she's been paying attention and inadvertently watches enough with me to know your name 😂😂😂
I read a story once from a professional ball picker. He said he always had his best luck feom175-200 yards out on the right because most people slice. Enjoyed your video tremendously. When I first started golfing my two boys always came along and I would show them where to look. Goofs fun in more ways then one. Keep up the great channel Liam from ct. USA.
The most practical golf tip on the internet today! Also, I would recommend some kind of UV protective glasses if you're going to make this a habit. Not sure at what strength UV light you need to consider UV blockers at but better safe than blind
I ordered a UV flashlight two days ago from Amazon, it came today and I went out to our local public golf course just after dark tonight ... I had four holes mapped out where I thought there would be a good chance of finding balls, but after less than an hour and just one of the four holes, my bag was so heavy I quit! 164 golf balls! The UV flashlight is amazing and it works just as you have presented it in your video
Great tip thanks! I've had a good season with 1,243 balls found. 40% top brand urethane so I won't have to purchase any for awhile. Best days catch was 245! My wife thinks I'm nuts but my son loves that he can lose balls without a worry.
Howdy lads. This was the first golf mates video I ever watched and I cannot thank you enough! I bought the UV flashlight and in 1 1/2 hrs found 167 perfect condition balls, 37 throwaways that I gave to my buddy as practice balls and 22 mint condition Pro V's. 2 of my golf mates have since borrowed my flashlights to go out themselves and have gotten a years worth of balls themselves. The best bit though was my wife seeing how happy I was with the result and coming out with me and finding 60 odd perfect balls herself! Cannot wait for golf to start again next week as I'll be out on the Saturday scooping up all the wayward shots with the Mrs. and some Bailey's and hot chocolate. Keep up the great work fellas!!!
Found a Kirkland today while out golfing, incredibly I didn't lose one, keep the videos coming , it was like hearing a kid at xmas, look look , brilliant
Was just thinking that I watched that video with Ebay Pete going on about the Kirkland ball, when I found it today, that's what I thought off, can't get you lot out of my mind when I'm playing
Sergeant Slice here. I recently found "Slicers' Cove" in my new favorite local course. While waiting for the party ahead of us to advance, I was able to pick up about 2 dozen of balls...still probably about another 3 or 4 dozen that I didn't have time to pick up. Don't think I'll ever have to worry about running out of balls!
I picked up a UV torch a few weeks ago after seeing the lad on your forum posting about it and my god its so easy finding them never go short again and sell a few on for profit
My son used to sell these back to the golfers, 50 cents a piece or 3 for a dollar...unless pro V 1, those were 1 dollar each...made a few hundred dollars doing that. The funnest part was harvesting the golf balls, its so exciting, a real simple pleasure.
I bought a UV flashlight after watching this. I took my 11 year old grandson to look for balls. Within 2 minutes of turning on the light he found 6 balls hidden in the grass, 30 ball’s total within 20 minutes of turning on the light. IT WORKS GREAT!!
I really liked this video, not your typical course vlog!! This is how we used to go find scorpions when I was a kid. Pretty sure I still have my UV light somewhere
We have 2 different roll-ups at our club, mondays seniors and wednesday club, of course we have others but these 2 are the biggest, 60/70 players every week, all the prize money gets dished out at the end of the year, this year has been tough, worst news was that our Manager Nikki(54) super lady has contracted stage 4 Liver Cancer, its devastating , every golfer has decided to give all their winnings to help her get private cancer treatment, £1200 from wednesday and the same from monday, £2400, we just hope that this "Golfmates" attitude will help her get better and beat this terrible disease, dont want any help, just thought i would let you know that through your attitude towards Golf and friends anything is possible Liam !! Keep safe, regards Fraser
Love it been doing this all season easy taken 1k balls off the course. My favourite ones have people’s names on them and there faces when you return them are priceless.
I used to go 'golf ball hunting' with my dad in the fall time after the courses had closed up north some 30 years ago. Was a fun time and we'd do it during the daytime too. Being in Florida might be a good idea to try a night time hunt with the light.. be interested to see the results where i live. There are 5 course w/ in 10min of here. Thanks for the idea.
Cincinnati Ohio USA here! I've never bought a single ball my entire time golfing! I play a certain ball and sell enough to pay for golf year round! It's to easy not to do. I've never thought of this and it's a ton of fun! Thanks much for sharing!!
I've been doing this for over 2 years now, I sell the balls on marketplace, and the tp5s prov1 on ebay, I've made just under £700. Probably spent £40 in fuel but still worth it, brought new irons, bag and trolley with my funds. Happy days 👍
Went out to my local course for 3 nights about an 1 hour each time and collected over 300 balls🤣 gave a lot away but there were a lot of good balls even found some of my own. Keep searching lads. Great video.
I like finding lost golf balls, especially Pro V-1's, as much as making a birdie on a par 5. This video made me smile. Oh, my record is finding 32 balls during a round on a wet winter Monday where the rough was tall.
After watching this I thought why not give it a go. Day 5 of lock down 2 so no golf has been played but still found over 40 balls (20 of which are perfecrly playable).. Great tip Liam
Been there with the UV light, back in the day in Beachcomber in Benidorm when I was a young 17 year old whippersnapper on a lads holiday. Nice shower before, dried off with a fresh white towel. Got into the club and under the UV light you could see all of the fluff off the towel in my hair. Went home alone that night 😂
This was the greatest video of all time. I live right by a golf course so I will have my own easter egg hunt. Enjoyed iy mates. You two are hilarious. I would love to play golf with you guys.
Since I have to ride in a buggy...and the cart paths are close to the trees, I drive slowly, and sometimes on Monday morning I can find 10 to 12 golf balls just while playing 9 holes. Some are cheap golf balls, but after the weekend, I find premium golf balls. Two weeks ago I found 7 Titleist Pro V1's on the first two holes...and I think they were all lost by the same golfer, as they were all marked the same way!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
My problem would be that at most Southern California courses I’d have to jump a fence to get in and I’m well past my fence jumping days 😩 I’ll stick to the go out early method, thanks guys!
I have to laugh at you guys complaining about the quality of the balls you are finding yet its you who are looking for free golf balls. Whose cheap now? Great video Liam
Pampas Grass on golf courses here is the USA attach golf balls. In one grass on a hill the was over 810 balls. I have removed thousands from these grasses and will remove thousands more. They have not been cut back in 26 years. I find many antique balls as well as many PROV's and Taylormade. Many High end and many low end. Prov's seem to be the most lost golf balls.
I bought one of these after watching your vid Liam. Found over 500 balls in 3 sessions. Saved me a fortune! Only down side is when you nearly break your neck and it's a bloody To Flite 😂
I really hate all this Americanised 'coming up' nonsense and it's everywhere on youtube now. Please just show the videos and let the viewer see everything fresh in it.
Hi Liam and Mr Barlow, went to my local course, and found 107 golf balls in just 2 hours. Great work guys...but a dog walker thought I was mad.i had the last laugh when I showed him
Another option is to do what I did last year---buy a place halfway down the 18th fairway. I find at least a dozen balls a week in my backyard. I even find a few on my livingroom floor after they smash through the windows. Amazing how badly some golfers hit the ball off the tee.
Great idea ,tried this out Liam and some No's and Data for you . I found 101 balls on 4 holes at my golf club in 4 visits and 24% Srixon 19% Titliest 17% Callaway 11% Taylormade . Does this mean people who use Srixons are the worst golfers 😂 Cheers Steve
You did well considering I was there the night before with my dog. Bagfulls! Dog is too busy now, sniffing out coronavirus cases at the airport. Great video!
I live two blocks from a course. It’s my fav wintertime pastime. Put some music on and have a ball. Or a few thousand. In one winter season I accumulated enough to fill 3 55 gallon drums, 21 5 gallon buckets and many many 30 gallon plastic totes full of good useable balls. It’s sooooo much fun. Like an adult treasure hunt!
I’ve been doing this for years now and don’t even play golf. I walk the dog with a UV torch once a month around my local course. Genuinely fill my rucksack every time, I guess these golfers need more practice. I have a list of local golfers that always buy x50 for £10 and this helped me through covid reduced pay without question, it so easy.
Well boys, I went out for 30 minutes last night with my new UV torch and got 25 balls. Can't wait to get out again soon and stock up. Thanks Golf Mates!
Brilliant Liam and Mr B. Amazing how they light up. My dad goes out a few nites a week to collect balls. So I usually have a look around and get the best for myself. Then sell some to my mates and work colleagues.
Did this last night. Went to The Wisley near time me (reckoned there would be good balls there due to course) found a Titleist pro v 1 - no 26 with JT printed on it, yes the ex England captain is a member there. Half hour found 7 pro vs, 5 calloways, 2 titleist s and a few others 👍
There's an old guy at our course that walks it 3-4 times a day in the trees looking for balls. He's got an old Cadillac with a trunk absolutely full of balls that he sells to everyone. I was astonished the first time I saw it. All of them sorted by brand and the premium ones by brand and type.
How awesome is this video Golf Mates? Can you please give E Bay Pete back his Kirkland golf ball. WOW what a great idea Liam, Mr Barlow and great video Joe👍👍🏌️⛳️🇨🇦
Went to my local course on Saturday night. Found 54 balls in just over an hour. Cheers Liam 😄😄. It was a bit eerie been on the golf course on my own though 🤣🤣
Here in New Brunswick, the season is just about over officially but after a whole season, we too have found some great finds. Lots of varieties of Taylormades including TP5. Thanks for a very entertaining video. Always enjoy GolfMates
When playing a round by myself, I often find myself spending more time collecting balls from adjacent fields and woods than I do actually playing golf... there is something strangely therapeutic about it!
Found 30 🏐balls Saturday in an old bramble patch that the greens keeper knocked down for spring clean up...lol
My guess? It’s similar to an Easter egg hunts, a joyful time in our childhood.

Can’t belive how excited I all were really funny to watch might give it a try with how many I lose lol
It’s addicting! Grandkids and Grandpa, both acting like kids!❤️👍
We was that
How awesome is this video Golf Mates? Can you please give E Bay Pete back his Kirkland golf ball. WOW what a great idea Liam, Mr Barlow and great video Joe👍👍🏌️⛳️🇨🇦
Lol I will
Went to my local course on Saturday night. Found 54 balls in just over an hour. Cheers Liam 😄😄. It was a bit eerie been on the golf course on my own though 🤣🤣
This is such a brilliant idea! The UV light is perfect! Definitely going to try this especially now its getting darker later now!
Thank you
@@GolfMates Can't wait to see how many I can find! Going to carry a rucksack and a nice flask of coffee and go hunting! :D
Blimey you lot were more excited than kids in a sweet shop. Ordering one now🤣🤣👍🏌️♂️⛳️
Lol 😂
You boys!!
Funnily enough I’ve recently bought some gold ball finding glasses
I’ll do you a video when they arrive
Went and found a back pack full today. Alot of fun would like to try this uv method soon
I ordered this torch yesterday and it arrived today. I’ve just found 14 balls in an hour. Interestingly it’s sold out on Amazon so everyone is at it.
daughter bought me one for xmas 3 years ago but never used it.. think i'll give it a go after lockdown
Absolutely a must
Here in New Brunswick, the season is just about over officially but after a whole season, we too have found some great finds. Lots of varieties of Taylormades including TP5. Thanks for a very entertaining video. Always enjoy GolfMates
Great stuff, everyone will be on it now. Should thank Stegga from the FB Group though. He’s been pushing this for some time 👍👍
Cheers!
The excitement were like two young lads on christmas morning opening presents.
Brilliant well done another great original video
Thank you
Now there's something to do during lockdown... Great stuff boys
