Yet another thing in our lives that the environuts claim will kill us all. This is long past the "getting old" stage. And these people wonder why everyone else is beginning to take them less and less seriously.

I’m clean and green. When I go searching for a lost ball I always find more in the woods than I’ve lost. My storage bins in the garage prove it. When Pelosi, Waxman, et. al. impose a golfball cap and trade law I’ll be golden.

Is there a marine biologist in the house?

300 million golf balls lost each year, that sounds about right for me.

Gee, I never ‘discard’ my golf balls intentionally...

For ONCE, I’d like to see the equivalent of the LEFT solution applied to those on the right. Instead of banning golf balls, we should setup a Department of Golf and pour billions into making sure every golfer had access to free or greatly discounted golf instruction so there would be fewer lost golf balls. I know I’d be all for this solution, as I tend to spray my drives in every direction.

Assign every golfer a team of Secret Service caddies who can find every shank into the woods and kick it back down the fairway.

Obama’s blueprint—Stalin: Man of Steel

You want to see where this will all lead?

View this video from the web on Stalin. You won’t be able to take your eyes away.My wish would be that you would pass this on to others. As many as you can. The similarities to Obama are mind blowing

This looks like a move toward taxing all golfers for environmental pollution. When will the madness end?
SHEESH!

For every golf ball that I lose, I find two. I give all the “found balls” to Junior Golf here in Florida. What the kids do with the balls is their problem. My conscious is clear. /s

It was found that during decomposition, the golf balls dissolved to release a high quantity of heavy metals. Dangerous levels of zinc were found in the synthetic rubber filling used in solid core golf balls.

So now this zinc is part of the environment of earth. That's horrible.

Where'd the zinc come from in the first place? Pluto?

Environmentally safe golf balls. Coming soon to a pro-shop near you!

Wait ... they're already here!

"...estimated 300 million balls are lost or discarded in the United States..."

I do not like foreigners referencing anything American-related, and by inference acting as if they have an interest or stake in my country. They do not.

Foreigners need to butt out of our business. We do not need their assistance, be it environmental-related, golf ball-related, etc.

Maybe there's something to this.

In T.S. Eliot's poem about the end of the world, The Rock, he wrote:

And the wind shall say Here were decent godless people. Their only monument the asphalt road. And a thousand lost golf balls.
