Since we arrived in Singapore (2001) - I go cycling quite a bit - and one of my routes parallels a couple of holes of a local golf course.

For months I never bothered - then I decided that finding lost balls would add a bit of enjoyment - also pushing in low-gear through 2 Kms of thick grass would add to the exercise.

Average find is 3 or 4 balls per cycling day (I don't go everyday).

Best was 12 - and worst is Zero (happens quite a lot).

Update...update... - 30/12/2002 - found 14 today!!

Ignore all that!! ....Today 04/01/2003 - was THE Day...21 balls found - is the "Golf Ball Count" moving in unison with "Stock Exchange Indices" - maybe there's a correlation - more on this idea soon.....

AND NOW (28/01/2003) we've surpassed ourselves - 23 balls found!!

To date (end December 2002) - I've found 190+ golf balls - now the problem is to find something to do with them - I don't play!! Any ideas??

This was "the pile" early March, 2003 - 411 balls....

July 2003 - I now have 612!!

September 2003 - 796!!

June 2004 - 1132........HELP!!

December 2004 - getting more difficult to find these days - 1268

November 2005 - 1437 very slow now!!

August 2006 - 1486... deadly slow..

November 2006 - 1500+ - running out of space - must get rid of/sell

Update.....Update..... as at July 2007... been advertising "used golf balls for sale" on eBay.... Brilliant!! Have sold them all - 1,600+ balls at either 15 cents per ball for scruffy/no-names or 30 cents per ball for good looking "named" balls. Am now - "re-stocking".....

Update....Update.... as at August 2008 - more than 2,000 balls found and sold - if you're interested... Google search for "mikecurley" +"eBay" - first hit should be my eBay Ad.

Update....Update.... as at 11th September, 2008.....my best day yet!! 81 golf balls found - so many, I had trouble carrying them all... I need more days like today!!

Update....Update.... as at 27th May, 2009 - have stopped using eBay and am relying on this page from now on.. http://www.mikecurley.netfirms.com/MainHome.htm#Golf
