golf balls salvaged on a kayak outing
Our Florida condo and winter home has the advantage of being on a navigable inlet of the Atlantic ICW, having a marina and being surrounded by a golf course. The combination means tee shots from the par three 16th hole go over salt water on their way to the green (or not). Something about water is a magnet for golf balls and many end up with a kerplunk, short of the green.
Every season I collect errant golf balls to redistribute to my golfing friends. Today a good low tide coincided with late afternoon on a slow for golf weekday. Seeing a target rich environment I jumped in my kayak (the preferred vehicle for golf ball harvesting) and collected 122. Not a bad hall.
