Someone is taking my balls !!!

I have a backyard range next to my house and someone took 40 of the 50 balls i hit Friday ???

This happened a few weeks ago and I thought I was getting old and did not remember picking them up ... but it has happened again and I know I did not pick them up yesterday because it rained all day.

Now I am going to have to setup a trap and try and catch them ...
 
Use a bear trap they will regret stealing real fast.

That's why they make shag bags............LOL

I've been through the same thing over the years.
 
Sounds like you need an electric fence. hehehe

That sucks to get that many taken.
 
Squirrels ...............
 
Is it near a street or something where a pair of greedy eyes might see? Did Ole Gray stop by to refill his shag bag?
 
I usually pick them up after I hit but it was very late Friday when I hit the 50 balls just before dark. Then it rained the entire next day so I was going to pick them Sunday morning but someone beat me to it ... won't happen again ...

Well that just makes me think...

If it is your property? Put up a trail cam. I use to hit balls on public property (jr. high school field) and I always picked them up, but left them for the next day a few times, and none was there when I went back one time, but I was ok with that. If it were on my land, I want to know who is getting them.
 
Just hit Pinnacles. No one in their right mind would steal those.

You have to leave them and set a trap. I don't know about anybody else, but you've got me very curious. Is it one of Georgia's famous creatures (Altamaha-ha or Hogzilla or Beavershark or The Wog or Bigfoot...), a random animal or just a nightmare of a "next door" neighbor.
 
You should get a bunch of the trick balls (exploding ones) and leave them... Bet they stop after that
 
I was expecting it was your dog taking them! We have a backyard putting green and chipping area and I'll leave balls out there that the dogs think are theirs. When they go missing I look in the dog toy box and what do you know there are the golf balls.
 
I thought this was another thread on aging ... :banana:
 
That is pretty neat how you have your crop circles for your range. Not so much your missing balls.
 
Yes, this is my land and right next to my house ... Hope I don't catch them ...

I don't think it is a dog or animal because they got about 40 balls ....

I am very curious also who or what would take 40 balls ... It happened again a week or so ago and I lost about 20 balls ... Sure would like to catch them

I have a large bucket of DUD balls. I think I will leave a few of those out there and see if I can catch them
