Use a club to pull it out or just let the damn thing go.

Dude was in his seventies, to him, it is a big event to save a golf ball. It probably wasn't even his, we all know those old dudes love searching the water entries for golf balls.....

I wonder if he missed the earlybird at Sizzler.

2-1 says it was a pinnacle
5-1 says it was a pro-v XX-out
detroit lions super bowl odds says it was a regular pro-v

I never play golf with anyone that thinks golf balls are family heirlooms.

Needless to say, we've got gators at many golf courses here in NE Florida. Not that I would have any desire to mess with any of them, but I kind of assume they are relatively harmless, or else they would have been re-located. I know one board member who had a relatively close encounter with one a few months ago. From 200 yards away, it looked like a log, but I warned said person that it might be a gator, he didn't listen.

Oh I'll go after a ball in a pond like the cheap bastard that I am, but I know better than to put my arm down there.

If I can't reach it with a 3 iron, then it is gone.
