Seriously CNN- go find a real story. CNN.com Thanks to ...

A startling fact when it is also estimated 300 million balls are lost or discarded in the United States alone, every year. It seems the simple plastic golf ball is increasingly becoming a major litter problem. The scale of the dilemma was underlined recently in Scotland, where scientists—who scoured the watery depths in a submarine hoping to discover ...

... As CNN reports, researchers at the Danish Golf Union have determined that it takes between 100 and 1,000 years for a golf ball to decompose naturally. That's bad enoughin and of itself, but consider the fact that an estimated 300 million balls are lost each year -- I'm responsible for about a third of that total -- and you can see that we're talking about some serious waste. ...
