RNL Golfballs releases world's first and only instructional book on golf ball retrieval, how to start and run a ball recovery company.

The author of The Lost Golf Ball is a seasoned golf ball recovery specialist who has been collecting golf balls off the bottom of golf course ponds for over 18 years. He has dove just about every golf course there is on the eastern seaboard of the United States and has literally thousands of ball recovery dives under his belt.

Golf ball retrieval is an extremely profitable business with very small start up costs which makes it a very desirable venture in todays times and economy. Many of the thousands of golf courses spread out across the United States and the world have never had a collection effort performed on them. If you consider the fact that thousands of golf balls are lost in the ponds each year and many of the courses are 20 plus years old and the high resale value and demand for the golf balls, those ponds are virtual gold mines with thousands upon thousands of pieces of white gold sitting on the bottom just waiting for a budding entrepreneur to come along and collect his bounty.
