LOST GOLF BALLS
There are a few water hazards at Woodside Greens that each year seems to attract golf balls for one reason or another. This year, over 4,000 golf balls were pulled out of our ponds. The photo shows a couple of bags they managed to retrieve from the ponds at Woodside and I know a few of those belong to yours truly.
But don’t feel bad, millions of golf balls end up in water hazards each year on major golf courses. For example, the famous island 17th hole at TPC Sawgrass has seen thousands of professional splashes, with roughly 100,000 balls fished out of its pond annually. Pebble Beach alone loses up to 186,000 balls to the water every year.
I guess it really IS important to plan your next shot.
