Got nicked a few times and were eventually prosecuted as i recall, but this would be back in the 80’s….. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I keep mine because I play twice a week and I’m only out there searching for an hour with the dogs and will find around 50 balls. Knew they cost 30-50 quid a box of 12 and I’m not paying that! i could sell this lot for £30 tonight if I wanted so it be nice beer money hobby but i just do it for myself. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
