Here’s a golf stat you won’t hear on the Golf Channel: 4.5. That’s the number of balls the average golfer loses PER ROUND, according to former PGA Tour player Gary Krueger, CEO of PG Professional Golf, the parent company of recycler Lost Golf Balls.
“Each of these can take more than 100 years to decompose,” says Krueger. “We are committed to environmental conservation and removing these balls from ponds, forests and other eco-systems found on golf courses and getting them cleaned and ready to be used again.”
