Stavross 16,070 Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 When we were kids we used to do the same, there was a course not far from us and on one of the holes they had to take a shot over what they would call a lake, we used to hide in the bushes and when they were out of sight we’d run out and grab them and watch them looking for them, we’d hang around the club house and sell them to other golfers, £2 for 10 and tell them we got them out the lake we were the richest kids in the street Quote Link to post
