| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses golf ball recovery from water hazards, highlighting its potential economic value. States that "the methods of recovery vary depending on the size of the water hazard, water depth and the company doing the recovery...a thriving [ball recovery] industry has developed over time." Mentions the use of divers as a potential ball recovery method. Suggests that "typically, a course gets a nickel to a dime per ball, depending on the brand." Also suggests that "sturdier high-tech golf balls don't suffer...while under water for months...That means a course can go a long time without servicing and still garner a nice load of valuable balls." |
