My neighbor brought me a bucket full of peaches that are only about as big as a golf ball. What can I do with them?

You could pickle them or you could make juice and then jelly from the juice.

Halve them and use them normally, if they are ripe. Just pretend they are peach-flavored apricots :).

If they are too small to "deal with", cook them down whole until the pulp falls off the pit. Let cool, fish around and get all the pits out, run through a food mill, then make jam.

I did that with some plums that were just too hard to process otherwise. Pulp didn't want to separate from pit so I cooked it off!

I'd make jam or syrup. Just finished making a batch of syrup from a bunch of peels, in fact... the kids love it on pancakes and the hubby loves it for peach flavored tea. I'd cook them down the way Deanna suggests.
