Should we use lake balls?

Many golfers choose to save money by using lake balls rather than forking out for new ones they could lose after just one shot.
But buying lake balls can be a bit of a lottery if you’re not purchasing them from a reputable source.
You might well stumble upon the odd nearly-new Pro V1 or Srixon Z-Star, but on the other hand you could end up with a handful of Dunlop and Top Flite balls that could have been sat at the bottom of a freezing pond for months.

Buying lake balls has become increasingly popular with many golfers, especially in the recent economic climate.

The lake balls are also a benefit for many golf clubs, having their lakes cleared regularly by a lake ball company produces an important revenue stream and it all fits in with the recycling ethic today.
