Company Retrieves, Restores & Resells Golf Balls


A Texas company, LostGolfBalls.com, collects lost golf balls on courses throughout the country. It then puts them through a restoration process, sorts them by brand, and repackages the balls for consumers to purchase at a bargain price.

Getting the Balls Ready to be Cleaned & Sorted

All of the name brands - Titleist, Bridgestone, Nike, Callaway, Srixon and TaylorMade - are available.

The company has scoured the nation collecting the balls - usually from watery graves - and then gives them new life. Its recycling system keeps thousands of golf balls out of landfills, while giving golfers a chance to sample an assortment of popular name brands for a fraction of the list price for new products.

Thanks to advances in manufacturing and technology, today's used golf balls are virtually the same as when they are taken out of the box. Their consistency and durability are carefully engineered for the long haul.

Sorting the Balls

Seizing on the opportunity to harness an untapped market, LostGolfBalls.com tested the different balls at an independent research facility to ensure their performance. In the end, it confirmed that used golf balls really are as good as new, and the Sugar Land-based company was born.

Before being packaged and shipped, each ball is inspected, sorted and washed with an environmentally-friendly cleanser, resulting in refreshed spheres that are ready to be put back in play.

LostGolfBalls.com also employs a grading scale that allows users to decide what level of quality and appearance they desire for their personal use.
