Golf Ball Nut

Golf Ball Nut

According to the most recent estimates, over 350 million golf balls are lost each year in America alone. While that number is quite staggering by itself, it becomes even more alarming when you combine it with the fact that a golf ball can take up to 1000 years to decompose. Looking over the statistics from the last few years, we have good news and bad news. The good news is that, mostly due to the pandemic, we have seen a massive influx in golfers over the last 3 years. The bad news is that, conservatively speaking, we have lost over a billion golf balls as a nation during that time. To put that into a visual perspective, that is enough used golf balls to fill over 2000 school buses! Not only are golfers losing an important piece to their golfing setup, but we are also creating an environmental risk at the same time. At Golf Ball Nut, we have built a business around the collection, restoration, and reselling of used golf balls. For over 2 generations, the McMillian family has led the way in providing innovative and economically safe ways to gather millions of used golf balls from golf courses across the country. From divers using a “hands-on” approach to collect balls one at a time, to inventing automated collection devices that gather hundreds of balls, Golf Ball Nut has repurposed well over 250 million lost golf balls since its inception.
