Abstract
A driving range environment includes golf ball pickers to return the balls to a golf ball washer. The pickers are parked at a golf ball unload station where the balls are dropped through a grate onto a conveyor or chute for transport to the hopper of the ball washer. From the washer the balls travel through air filled tubes that dry the balls and transport the balls to dispensers where the golfer can again drive the balls at the range.
