Seriously, I believe those islands are on chains and get pulled to shore----I've seen the big one parked at shore a few times.
We used to but the gator decided he wanted meat and no golf balls for his dinner so he ate the whisperer.

Want to apply for the position?

Maybe next year

Besides, I'm more of a yeller than a whisperer.

Are the floating greens not tilted so the balls roll off?

I would guess the obvious answer is either no, or not enough, since there are hundreds of balls on that floating green
