Saving Green on the Golf Green by Going Green

PRLog (Press Release) - Mar 23, 2009 -
By purchasing recycled golf balls with Lostgolfballs.com [http://www.lostgolfballs.com], it will not only save the consumer money, but will also assist in protecting the environment from the mass production of rubber and plastic.  Plastic production requires significant quantities of resources, primarily fossil fuels, both as a raw material and to deliver energy for the manufacturing process. It is estimated that 4% of the world's annual oil production is used as a feedstock for plastic production and an additional 3-4% during the manufacturing process. It has been estimated that only 7% of total plastic waste is currently being recycled.

Lostgolfballs.com is the world’s largest recycling golf ball company, marketing over 300 brands/models of recycled golf balls that have been “lost” and retrieved at over 2,200 golf courses nationwide. The golf balls that retrieved are thoroughly washed with soap and water and then sent to be sorted and graded by professionals.

The golf balls are graded on a 4 tier scale, AAAAA being their highest quality ball. They are “like new” in appearance and will perform as a new ball. Lostgolfballs.com refers to these as “One Hit Wonder” golf balls because it is likely that the ball was lost after the first swing. A dozen recycled golf balls can provide significant savings to the average golfer. Lostgolfballs.com sells a dozen top tier Titleist Pro V1s at 50% off your local golf shop.
