No, only range balls get collected from the range... a few regular balls, but not many.
My friends dad collects balls from all sorts of golf courses, it is a common practice. He has had very very bad back surgery and can barely move, so he must walk daily to keep from stiffening up. So he walks arount the outside boundaries of many courses and collects balls, to him it is a hobby but there just so happens to be a BIG market for used balls. He actually makes a pretty good living from this and it keeps him healthy at the same time.
He has asked me to do some research and look for anyone interested in buying. He knows nothing about computers or internet at all. I have compared prices on eBay, and contacted many sites that deal in used balls. The eBay prices are competitive but I am sure I can get what I ask. But 20k is a lot of balls.
And yes I get a commision on the sales.
