One of the most popular methods of saving money on golf balls is to search the golf course for golf balls fellow golfers have lost. This can be time consuming, but can also be very rewarding. Looking through bushes on the golf course, can find you hundreds of used golf balls.
When you have found a good supply of used golf balls, you will need to give them a good clean. They should clean up like new. We will show you how to clean your golf balls so you can make the most out of the used balls you find.
The first option and of course the least expensive way to clean you used golf balls is a bucket of hot soapy water in your own back yard. You can clean large quantities of dirty golf balls all at the same time. Of course this does take time especially when they all need shining up again afterwards.
All golf courses have professional golf ball cleaning machines that you can use. You might choose to purchase a golf ball cleaner for your own home. There several different machines that you can choose from. From larger professional sized ones to smaller and more affordable golf ball cleaners.
