No don’t pick them up, let me do it so I can sell them
The salt water eats them up dude
@@The.Original.Potatocakes the buyer wouldn’t know and it barely matters lel
I would do the same
That’s what I want to do and that’s what ima do with my friend but not water ball
how many pro v 1s?
that’s what i was wondering
Thank you Pebble Beach. For taking an effort to solve this problem. I love golf. And the ocean. So thankful for this. Glad to have learned something new.
Every golf course that is located next to water should have at least one scuba diver cleaning the balls up. Obviously some courses may need more. This should’ve been done along time ago where did they think the balls were actually ending up when they went into the water. Huge props to the girl that did this.
Well, now that it’s been aired on the news I’m sure the people who resell them will be keeping the info in mind for future sourcing lol
Put up a wall..
So your telling me there’s mor yards worth of rubber bands in a golf ball then my friend can drive one.
DW Music you’re** more** than** ?**. English is hard!

The otter was just retrieving his ball after being granted a mulligan...
Why is your profile pic a picture of a police officer when your username says FUCK THE POLICE?
Why are you gay?
@@joshuaharrell554 lmfaooooooo
Luckily they don’t make wound balls anymore
The sea was angry that day, my friend
Ah I see you're a man of culture as well.
😏👍
"Make sure your golf balls stay on the course, and out of the Ocean." Well, why didn't I think of that? Problem solved!
That could be jack Nicklaus or tiger woods golf ball in there who the heck knows
The rubber band ball is very old!
The sea was angry that day, my friends.
Was it a Titleist?
Hole in one!
Fantastic. Glad there is a long term solution to this issue.
Where can I get a copy of the investigation ?
I have a lake ball company in The Netherlands, but sometimes it is still a issue to convince golfcourses of the plastic population in there waters, your outcome can be a great help for me.

Pebble Beach Spokesman:
We didn't know .... Gravity happens ... Unless brought to our attention. 🙃
Someone needs to build a vac system with a long hose and a diver can go down and just plug away at them.
Hit the ball straight and you won't have to worry about golf balls in the ocean.
Tommy 2pieceYa that’s like telling a driver just don’t get in an accident
What a waste.. if she sold those golf balls she could help even more.. if she’s picking up that many golf balls.. that’s $10k to $50k she could be making
Congrats on 100k
I wish I could collect them to sell
they worth like 10 cent eatch to resell
Amir Hal Houssine there’s thousands of them there, think about it, it’s better than nothing
Amir Hal Houssine 70,000 golf balls all sold would be the least 7,000 if they are worth 10 cents each
Tehey are worth more go google its a actual job to pickup and resell goldballs from waters
@@Amir-wv8om they’re worth lots more than 10 cents.
Thats so cool seeing all those golf balls
I study micro plastic and I always thought about this problem golf balls lost in the ocean since I was a little kid and we found a couple in the ocean when we were in Hawaii back in 2013
You were a little kid ten years ago, but you're studying microplastics? Where? High school?
I'm pretty sure water and my golf balls are magnetized. Please do a research paper on that.
"potentially impact" oh my.
I wish I live ther
kei alvarez we go there every month and it is a 3 hour drive
I'm just looking at money in this video!! potential cash!!
Pebble could pay for a giant recovery team and refurbish the balls and maybe even profit
maybe rearranging holes so the balls are not being hit towards the water?
probably lost cargo?... ha " Give a man a fish? he will eat for a day... teach a man to fish? AND HE WILL KILL EVERYTHING IN THE OCEAN." ... Mother Nature gonna whoop ass.. SOON...
One person can change the world ... 🌎
People should pick all up too. It's a awesome way to save the environment and reducing golf ball pollution.
In West Virginia a man invented a barge that has a big vacuum cleaner on it
He started a company that salvaged coal out of sunken barges
His company cleaned up the Kanawha River and is now working to clean other rivers
It sifts out the coal and puts the sand and gravel back
It would work perfect for this !!
I guess what I would take from this is it hasn't been a problem for the last 100 years and now the balls are made differently so they're solid construction basically so they're even less of a hazard than when they had wound golf balls (rubber bands)
I guess Pebble Beach and the other two courses were slacking for a long time. But it's good they started getting on it! See, generally courses are pretty good about picking up balls as they hire divers that resell balls to search around and get them. There wouldn't be so many balls from the early 1900s if they had divers doing that more often. Or heck, so many wound golf balls (the ones mentioned with long rubber bands spun inside) wouldn't have had time to deteriorate as it takes a LOT of time and abrasions for them to dismantle. Just think of how many times a ball can be hit at 100+mph and keep going for instance.
I just Teed off a Golf ball into the ocean off my cruise ship lol
Looks like I'm gonna go scuba dive for balls and make money of the new ones
Pebble beach needs better club teaching pro's! to help players keep it on fairways.
Lot of money down there
Lucky I’d want to live there cause those are nice balls worth hella money
O boo hoo. Sell them! :)
thats what i do, except i do them somehwere else
do you live in a junkyard? seems like you like trash everywhere. The golf courses should fix this.
Stop whinning.
Stop slicing, fatso.
So caddies are going to tell players to hit it on the fairway and not in the ocean. This was obviously an idea from someone who has never played golf.
Golf balls are literally rocks what's the problem? Alex is wrong too, wound golf balls haven't been made like that since the 1990s. Not an issue anymore. Good intentioned but misinformed
How is there not someone salvaging all these balls?
A big net, same as they have near hwys or biodegradable balls should solve the problem
How are they allowed to keep doing this? Shouldn't they be fined for not putting up nets or something to stop this from happening?
It’s really not a big deal
Man lemme get those golf balls
Thanks for spending time and money to clean
Its a 3 bird, 1 stone deal. U can have fun diving, collect golf balls, sell them, and save the ocean. Its a win, win, win.
And then the government came in and regulated it 😂 it’s a joke
I played there and I aimed away from water if it caused me a stroke or two oh well I'm not gonna put balls in the ocean
Well sell the good ones.
I’ll have them all!
2500 golf ballsssss
There must be really bad golfers than
You can make so much money picking them up
Cant we make a new design that floats on water?
Gabriel Dauz they would be too light and not go even 50 yards
ILL HAVE THEM!!!
Not acceptable !!!
Only handicap 18 and below !
Good report! This is also a problem in Florida, where I can see golf balls on courses that run along the coast and bays! Of course, divers will have to worry about alligators here, instead of great white sharks!
This is rich peoples problem, not just by ocean , inland is worse
Easy refurb lake ball business right there
Any pro v1’s in there
build a wall or drain the swamp
Sounds corrupt but imagine the amount of money you can make.
Every golf ball sold have an excess tax to help like Golf Ball Project.
Balls.
Probably half of those are mine
Not to be rude but I wanna go out there and collect them too! Along with litter I see money selling them🤑
So I noticed how he said it was a problem but he hadn't done any research to prove it was a problem also was that research compromised by opinion cuz true factual research is non bias you can have a problem with anything and you can not have a problem with any so the true point of research is how is and isn't it a problem
She's complaining about making money...?
An oter found a golf ball.
richies: 😅
Its bad golfers
Good business with environmental benefit, collecting and selling the balls
Put balloons in the ocean cause I said so
Good work by a hottie
biodegradeable golfballs?
The golf companies need to be fined
Mewmew 989 for what reason?
It is the product of the company. The restaurant I work at is in the Monterey sanctuary as well and even if a guest drops our buzzer in the ocean, we will get fines when the divers go to clean the trash.
The sanctuary is what makes Monterey productive and a prevention against what happened during the sardine crash decades ago.
The trash that goes into the ocean harms wildlife and could kill them or poison them.
@M K
So if I litter the company who made it should get fined?
I’m all for environmental responsibility, but that’s ridiculous. It’d be like fining GM cause someone abandoned a car and pushed it into the ocean. Only the course and its members should be responsible for cleaning and keeping them out.
Good thing they’re biodegradable
Banned coastal golf courses
Sell them and donate to charity
Golf ball “pollution” 🤦♂️
Toxic waste from the golf course. Make them pay. Fine future pollution.
Most likely caused by the 7 year olds flushing golf balls down the toilet.
close the golf court simple. if they want to be reopened tax the shit outta of em.
That happened with me whit a 🦫
