Default Golf pin wanted

I am looking for a golf pin. On the off chance if any of you happen to know someone who works at a golf course and might have 1 or two old ones around I would be interested in connecting with them. Let me know if any of you have any leads
Thanks

I know lots of people that work at golf courses. What exactly are you looking for? I could probably try and help you track it down.

Courses replace them all the time. Ask at your local club, likely to get them for free. We always had piles of them lying around.

There's a few here in Sylvan that disappear on occasion ... sticky fingers midnight auto pin-seekers. It happens seen Austin Johnson grab one Sunday for his bro guess you can do that when you win $2M.

(Google says ... Dustin Johnson won the Masters for his first green jacket and second career major championship. It's also his 24th career PGA Tour victory. His 2020 Masters win was worth $2,070,000 and that amount puts him over the money milestone of $70 million.)

Not as easy to find as one would think. We called a few courses and came up empty. The ones on Amazon are cheap plastic
Thanks Dom4 let me know if anything turns up

Thanks again

I just have to ask, what are you going to use these old pins for? Only thing I can think of is driveway markers. Don't answer if you don't want to, just curious.

My son is big junior golfer and practices 6-8 per day in the summer and 2 hours every day in the shop in the winter so we are going to build a few small holes on the acreage. He is a sticker for accuracy and has the rea cups so wants authentic flags
He saved his money and found a used greens cutter so he is committed to the project

Good on you! If I had anything worthy I would donate as well, but the only thing I have are some water balls the kids dig out.
