Golf Balls...
What is it about golf balls... Apparently where I live... they are like gold or something.
My backyard meets up with a golf course... This particular area seems to be a popular spot for golfers to hit, and lose, their balls. There are a group of kids that routinely scour the area in search of these little treasures. Now, I have found a few golf balls myself... I find them, and give them to my daughter. The difference is... I don't go looking for them. I'll find them while I'm mowing the lawn or something... Anyhow... what do these people do with these golf balls then?
My neighbor actually goes out onto the course itself and looks for balls... He currently has 4 little buckets and some little bingo drum thing filled with balls. I wonder if he considers that some sort of status symbol. "The one who finds the most balls... wins." I don't get it...

Being a golfer who has golfed on the course near your house I can tell you the kids you speak of sell the balls to golfers at the tee box on one of the holes on the course.
They are just trying to make a buck to buy some crack, uhh, I mean candy.
