What type of pollution are you talking about? Nitrates from the fertilizer applied to the ground to green the grass or pesticides to kill varmits and other critters such as grubs that attract moles?

If you want to find lots of lost golf balls that are mostly perfectly good. They were hit only a few times before they went into the lakes (water hazards as golfer tend to call them). You can find a lot of these by scuba diving and feeling around in the muck for the golf balls. Just be careful you don't grab a snapping turtles's head. That might cost you a finger or even an entire hand if it's a big snapper. lol

What's the price for a set of new golf balls these days. After I last went golfing with a coworker and lost ten golf ball on one water hazard I stopped golfing all together. Well I may have played a few more rounds but lets not quible over those rounds.

Only time I like to play golf is when I get to drive the Electric or Propane Driven Golf Carts. Now that's more fun than hitting a stupid little white round ball 400 yards and trying to put it in a little bitty hole in the ground. LOL Man gold to me is really a lame game. Give me Ice Hockey, Baskeball, Soccor, American Football or even a good Tennis match anyday.

I live close to several Really nice Golf courses and one is where they play National Tournaments. It was designed by some big shot golf course designer. It's built on an abandoned strip mined coal fields. I guess surface coal mining reclaimation laws have finally given us something useful after the coal has all been removed.

I did read where one developer built and sold a house over an underground mine shaft and the new owners were force to move after their house experienced underground mine subsidence. Their house have major structural damage to it when the ground beneath the foundation collaped into the underground mine's shaft.

Be careful where you build or buy your next house in Warrick County, IN.

I was happy to hear that it was a catch and release pond being on a golf course. It is ironic that our most beautifull grass areas is only possible by making them among the most polluted. All golf courses anywhere in the nation should be catch and release, or catch and bury.
I haven't had the pleasure of fishing a course yet but hope to someday. Mike[/quote]
