Golf balls: 'Humanity's signature litter'
By Christina Macfarlane, for CNN
London, England (CNN) -- Research teams at the Danish Golf Union have discovered it takes between 100 to 1,000 years for a golf ball to decompose naturally. 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.
This just makes me want to go out to the range and hit a large bucket of balls. Give me a break.

It appears to be a paradox ... so much land for greens, etc ... nice for leisure and exercise ... yet golfers run their buggies over this nice land and replace the leisure with competition and non-biodegradable golf-balls.
