Dog Retrieves Golf Balls For Charity

October 24, 2022 7:19 am Published by

An eagle-eyed pooch has become an expert at finding lost golf balls in London.

so much so that he’s helping provide golf charities with the balls they need to teach kids around the world.

Charles Jefferson owns a cavapoo named Marlo, during the puppy’s first visit to a local London golf course, he emerged from the bushes with a pristine tour-grade ball.

Jefferson realized that the retrieved mint condition Titleist Pro V1 retails for around £3.50 and that Marlo might have a unique ability for finding lost balls.

He then leapt at the chance to turn Marlo’s abilities into a force for good after he heard of a donation drive to promote the prevention of litter from lost golf balls.

The DP World Tour was seeing if they could fill a 20-foot long shipping container with second-hand tour-grade balls, with the intention of then sending them to Kenya’s Junior Golf Foundation, the South African Disabled Golf Association, the European Disabled Golf Association, the UAE’s Chicks with Sticks, and India’s Golf Foundation.
