During the round this morning, while out on the course my golf partner and I were able to snared a few balls out of a water hazard. I was curious as to what effect (if any) will take place regarding the play-ability of the golf balls. I've always thought that the cover of a golf ball is pretty much impervious to sitting submerged for a few weeks... (At what point do you just pitch 'em in the garbage? Anyone care to weigh-in on the subject?

Me and my boy was having the same conversation yesterday. we came to the conclusion that as long as the cover ain't cracked,the ball SHOULD be okay.

If it's only for a few days or weeks, then it should be fine. But, if it's off-color, then it's a dead ball, and it's probably been down there for a while. You can hit it as hard as you want, and it'll feel like a rock and still only go 80 yards.
