When we lived next to the golf course on average I would guess 20 balls per day would arrive in the garden and swimming pool. I literally have hundreds in the garage somewhere and was quite amazed at the numbers people lose. I do think if you hit balls into the rough often enough and are looking for your ball you do tend to find quite a few extras and your own. I was wondering do you think golfers are just too lazy to look these days and have too much money that thy just don't care.
