Golf ball litter is becoming an environmental concern on this planet. CNN Says:

“Research teams at the Danish Golf Union have discovered it takes between 100 to 1,000 years for a golf ball to decompose naturally. A startling fact when it is also estimated 300 million balls are lost or discarded in the United States alone, every year…The scale of the dilemma was underlined recently in Scotland, where scientists — who scoured the watery depths in a submarine hoping to discover evidence of the prehistoric Loch Ness monster — were surprised to find hundreds of thousands of golf balls lining the bed of the loch.“

The Danish Golf Association, say that lost golf balls pose an environmental hazard, taking up to 1,000 years to decompose and releasing poisonous heavy metals. These heavy metal attach “themselves to the ground sediment and poison the surrounding flora and fauna” when in water. Heavy metals used in golf ball production include tungsten, cobalt and lead.
