EVERY BALL MAKES A DIFFERENCE
$140,000 +
Raised Through Reclaimed Golf Balls
What started with a few lost golf balls has grown into a meaningful local effort. With the support of golfers, donors, and the Collingwood community, Golf Ball Lady continues to give every ball a second life for a cause that matters.


Turning Lost
Golf Balls Into Hope
Founded by Marylou Gollert, a retired Principal and golfer, the Golf Ball Lady collects gently used golf balls from around the Collingwood, Southern Georgian Bay and GTA areas. Each ball is cleaned, sorted, and resold locally, with proceeds helping support My Friend’s House, a local shelter supporting women and children escaping abuse.
Raising over $140,000 and counting, this is more than a golf ball shop, it’s a local story of kindness, reuse, and people coming together one ball at a time.
Every donated ball, every purchase, and every volunteer’s support helps turn something small into something deeply meaningful for the community.

Kind Words From Our Community
"A simple idea with a beautiful purpose."
I love that I can buy affordable golf balls and know the money is going toward something meaningful in the community. It makes every purchase feel bigger than the game.

Local Golfer
“A wonderful way to give back.”
Donating golf balls is easy, practical, and impactful. Instead of letting them sit unused, they help support women and children who need safety and care.

Golf Ball Donor
“Affordable, useful, and full of heart.”
The golf balls are cleaned, sorted, and ready to use. But the best part is knowing that this small purchase supports My Friend’s House.
