ARCADIA, Mich. (AP) — An exclusive golf course in northern Michigan has changed its website to no longer encourage players to hit balls into Lake Michigan after a diver hired by a newspaper found hundreds in the water.
State environmental regulators said they're investigating what has occurred at Arcadia Bluffs, where a round of golf on the course overlooking the northeastern shore of the lake costs $215 during the peak summer season. A beverage cart employee said she was fired for discouraging players from hitting balls into the lake.

Boy I remember the time I hit my balls into the lake.
Just landed awkwardly from a dive.

Sounds like a bad visualization practice.
What golfer wants to practice putting balls in the drink when they do that on a regular basis anyway??

If no one hit golf balls into the water there would be no more turtles.

When I was a kid, we used to make soda money by selling balls we got out of water hazards from the local golf courses. The guys at the Moose’s course paid the best, but the balls were easiest to get, and better, from the university course, so we would get those and ride up to the Moose clubhouse.
