and searching out in excess of 10,000 golf balls, when she finds a ball we have a little play acting from tilly-miss, throwing the ball in the air and running circles round it, she is very proud of her work.

We retrieve from woodlands, walkways, fields, and hedgerows, tilly-miss is ideal in going deep in the hedgerows, collecting the ball i cannot often reach.

We have to date sold in excess of 15,000 golf balls from ping to titleist, from black to blue, orange to pink, from yellow to white, we have every colour available, we have many logo brands from corporate business also available including some very good branding whisky advertising brands.

We retrieve around 200+ balls weekly, we are out daily at sunrise for a few hours, returning in the afternoon and evening for the late night collection, some days we are finding 140 daily depending on weather conditions, when the sun shines the golfers play more often than when it rains, but this does not bother us because we have very busy courses close at hand.

We do not retrieve from lakes, all our balls are found by the dog and myself, we average 3 miles easily on our search, then again in the evening, i firmly believe in the old saying search and you will find, and that is very true, i can spot a ball in amazing places, i know where to look and know the courses inside out.

Do you ever wonder why people such as myself do this sort of thing, people say you are mad, others laugh and think i am crazy, but it is great fun, really good and healthy, and it keeps tilly-miss in fantastic shape and she has a healthy lifestyle which is very important to me.

I often go home aching in agony after doing so much walking, some woodlands are very hard on your feet, the bending and crawling through hedgerows is the one that hurts, but seeing that little white or coloured ball all alone, i have to get it.
