friend of mine had some trouble during a back cut turned out to be an old aluminum hard hat. all i find is wire and rocks.
Ok it was at a golf course but, I was still surprised just how many golf balls were in a large gum multi limb crotch about 30 feet up, just sitting waiting. At least 40 lost balls some looked quite new many looked years old so sad and forgotten, I delivered em back to ground to finish their task. reckon I was 1st to find ever.
Hey this was 20 years back so I guess the tree will have borne more white plastic fruit by now.
The pot marks wounds on the smooth bark trees was also a surprise quite some damage up and down the limbs by miss hit balls.
Later that week a golfer bloke hook teed off with my back to him, as I turned I caught the ball smack in the shoulder, it dropped me like a stone. He walked up to me still stunned and asks "did I see where his ball went"... *&@@ - you pal was all I could spew out.
Whoa thats cool i've never thought tree gear could get you golf balls...thats great...Simliar incedent happend to an old boss of mine...mowing at a condo next to a golf course and a ball hit him in the shoulder or the arm..The golfer came up and He was like IS THIS YOUR BALL!! and threw it in the woods and walked away..:hmm3grin2orange: By the way were you in the tree when i happened...I'd love to get a job trimming at a golf course unless you were in the tree's over the fairway!Ok it was at a golf course but, I was still surprised just how many golf balls were in a large gum multi limb crotch about 30 feet up, just sitting waiting.

I've been grinding stumps on a golf course and had golf balls bounce off the stumper. Not impressed.
