Are lake balls better than new golf balls?

In today’s economy almost everyone is trying to save a dollar whenever and wherever they can, and this too includes trying to save money on supplies for your extracurricular activities. 

This would include those of you who play golf as an extracurricular activity. Having the money to do the things that we enjoy is becoming more of a hardship today on everyone, and that even includes the golfer. This brings us to the question of where can we cut the costs when playing golf and one possible way of doing this may be to begin to utilize what some people term as “lake balls”. 

What is a lake ball you may ask? Very simply put, it is a golf ball that has been salvaged from a lake, pond, etc. We have all been on the green and seen that poor golfer hit their ball into the water. Many of you may have wondered what happens to all of those lake balls. In order to save money and in an effort to go green, many golf ranges are now choosing to gather and refinish those golf balls as an alternative way to offer individuals a way to buy balls at a discount rate. Once refinished the lake ball presents itself as if it is a brand new golf ball. 

There are many golfers who actually prefer a lake ball over the golf ball. Perhaps, it is because they enjoy the thought that they are recycling and reusing a product, thus protecting the planet that they enjoy playing golf on or it could be that they know by using a lake ball that they are in fact saving a ton of money. Maybe, they plan on using that money saved on a brand new set of customized golf clubs. Either way, balls salvaged and reclaimed from water are the choice of many golfers.

Now comes the next question of is there a difference between regular brand new golf balls and a golf ball that has been reclaimed and refurbished after sitting in the water? The answer to that is still being pondered. When the process was new, the golf industry initially had to address whether or not sitting in the water affected the aerodynamics of the golf ball. It has been found that there really isn’t a difference at all, although some golfers still question it. In the end the savings if buying a reclaimed lake ball may be worth chancing a game or two to find out for you.
