I read a great web release today about Lost Golf Balls, the premier golf ball retrieval company, who have announced a partnership with The First Tee, an organization dedicated to “promoting character development and life-enhancing values to underprivileged children through the game of golf.” Lost Golf Balls, who have been working since 1992 to retrieve golf balls from their watery graves on more than 2,500 courses, recycles golf balls by cleaning, sorting by usability, quality, and brand, and then repackaging the restored golf balls for resale. They offer their wares at various prices depending on the quality and brand, including Titleist Pro V1 golf balls, which makes for great deals on even the most expensive types of balls.

What makes this story interesting to me is the mission of The First Tee, which was initiated by The World Golf Foundation “to provide opportunities for children who would not typically be introduced to golf to learn the game. The non-profit organization’s mission has since been expanded to include The First Tee Nine Core Values, which includes a focus on honesty, integrity and sportsmanship.” I think that it soulds like a lovely partnership. :)
