A Furry And Lovable Golf-Ball Collecting Machine


An avid golfer, Realtor Jennie Robinson specializes in selling Country Club golf course homes. Her one-and-a-half year-old English Golden Retriever, Riley Rose, specializes in retrieving lost golf balls at The Hideaway, where Jennie and her husband Bob are members.

Jennie is been a top-producing agent and has been a well-known resident of the desert for the past 18-years. You’re probably familiar with her tagline, “Let me swing a deal for you!” Lately, however, Riley Rose, is getting all the press.

This past month, Golf News Magazine wrote an article about this “furry golf-ball collecting machine.” The article begins, “How would you like to find 25 to 30 golf balls a day, virtually all in perfect condition, many of which are Titleist Pro V’s? This unique golf ball collecting “machine” resides in the desert but is not available in any stores, not even in Pete Carlson’s! Golfsmith doesn’t have it either. Feed it and love it is all you have to do.”

According to the article, Riley Rose has a unique ability to smell the balls and track them down even in the deepest grasses. And she loves a challenge. The more the ball is hidden or buried, the more she likes the hunt.

In case you’re wondering, the golf balls are donated to junior golf and according to the magazine “Riley Rose searches for golf balls only during her morning and evening walks and only seeks golf balls that are in the bushes and never retrieves balls on the fairway.”
