The People Behind the Payouts

A small crew of golfers, divers and sorters who decided lost balls deserved a second round — and their finders deserved fair money.

Our Story

It started with one very full pond.

In 2016, our founder waded into the pond on the 14th at his local club to find one ball and came out with two hundred. The pro shop did not want them, the buyers online lowballed him, and the whole experience felt like a racket.

So we built the buyer we wished existed: honest per-ball grading, quotes that do not shrink on arrival, free shipping both ways, and payment inside 48 hours. What began in a garage with a pressure washer and a spreadsheet now processes millions of balls a year for golfers, divers, courses and driving ranges across the country.

Every ball we buy is cleaned, regraded and returned to the game — and the ones that cannot make it back to a fairway are ground down and recycled. Nothing goes to landfill.

What We Stand For

Simple Rules We Never Break

Buying golf balls is not complicated. Being worth trusting with a box of them is where the work is.

The quote is the payout

If our grading comes in better than expected, you get more. It never comes in less without your say-so — decline and we ship everything back free.

Fast means fast

Quotes within one working day, payment within 48 hours of approval. If we are ever late, we add 10% to the payout. We have not had to yet.

Every ball plays on

Recycled golf balls save water, plastic and money. Keeping two million balls a year in play is the part of the job we are proudest of.

The Team

Small Crew. Big Sorting Table.

Every box is opened, graded and paid by an actual human — usually one of these three.
