How will life go on?
I rarely lose golf balls, one time I used the same bowl for 3 years.
But one day when it was full on Autumn I got a free round at a PGA golf course I lost 6 or 7 balls under leaves that day.
On another note that I was at Hilton Head checking out the PGA course down there and there were a there was a tourist attraction off one of the fairways, it was an old shell marl foundation of a colonial house, I took a detour went over there and I was looking around at the foundation and I noticed all these white dots on the ground I walked over to that area and entered “slicers hellhole” - I must have picked up four dozen balls that day and they were all corporate logo balls. I’m still golfing with those balls.
When I’m golfing my local Muni, and when conditions are very dry in the summer the retaining pond on the 4th fairway is dry, take a walk through it... a golfball honey hole if there ever was one.
The downside? You can’t be choosy when the golfballs are rescues.
