Usage
"An eight-hour shift might yield as many as 10,000 golf balls, even as Lantz spars with the hidden wildlife and climbs over submerged golf carts and ditched cars -- all the while dodging errant golf shots, not to mention thrown golf clubs. He lugs a satchel laden with up to 1,000 balls, an air tank and another 30 pounds of scuba gear that keep him weighted to the pond floor." — Bill Pennington; At the Bottom of Golf Ponds, A Big Business Is Lurking; The New York Times; Jul 4, 2002.
