My golf course was giving away silver change for face value!!

DoubleEagle59

Apparently since Sunday the golf course I play at had 4 rolls of Canadian dimes that were all silver in their change drawer.

I just noticed today and they had $8.20 in dimes remaining so I paid them $100 for them.

Must have been some happy weekend duffers!!

I told the head pro (who went to the bank on Saturday for the rolls in the first place) to immediately get to his bank NOW and get as many rolls as he can.

I guess that must be one of the perks of paying all of the expensive dues at a swanky golf course? Neat!

Thats a great deal there.... Wish I could get some silver in change!!! Speak of golf courses I live right next a gold course and range and my 8 year old daughter found her own form of silver in golf balls!!! So many balls end up on our land its not funney so what my daughter does is search our land and round up all the lost golf balls up and saves them year to year...during the winter we sort threw them and check there prices online and then she sell them in lots of 12 in old egg cartons.She puts a sign outside along with a lawn table and belive it or not people stop and buy them. If they are junk balls she sells them to golfers in bags of 25 or 50 and they use them at the range part of the course. She has sold a dozen of balls before for 50.00 bucks!! not all of them go that high but some do!!!! So its sorda the same thing.

My yacht club was giving away gold coins for face value.

If the company was giving the silver dimes away at face value, why would you pay $100 for them? This makes no sense to me.

and did the club pocket the difference, or the pro?

I would have asked him what bank he went to.

Maybe I didn't fully explain it.

They received these four rolls of dimes from their bank because they were low on dimes, as change in their change drawer.

Sat to Mon they used up 2 1/2 rolls in giving back change to the paying customers.

Today the pro told me about the rolls and yes I could have cheated him and bought the remaining $8.20 in dimes for $8.20, but I decided to do the proper thing and pay him a fair value.

Now, if this is what you understood in the first place, then I would answer your post as "because I'm not dishonest like you". If I'm mistaken in my assumption, then please accept my apology.

The very best used golf balls aren't worth remotely that much, even if hit only once. You've clearly got a charming kid, and it's neat to see young entrepreneurs rewarded like that!
