Meet the Customer Service Team—and Its Favorite Products

The LostGolfBalls.com customer service team’s favorite golf balls are the Taylormade Lethal, Titleist Pro V1, and Titleist Pro V1x.

LostGolfBalls.com came into existence on the golf course.

Our three founders wanted a way to play their favorite sport more often—and live golf, rather than just play it on the weekends. On the course one day, they saw someone reclaiming lost golf balls and had a light-bulb moment.

Nearly twenty years later, LostGolfBalls.com has processed more than half a billion golf balls from elite courses across the United States. The company’s staff personally hand selects the golf balls we offer to you on our Web site.

And we know our golf.

The vast majority of the LostGolfBalls.com staff—like its founders—have built their careers in the golf industry, whether they were former golf professionals, managed courses, made and sold products, or played through college and on the professional circuit. Even better, the LostGolfBalls.com team has worked together for years. We have some of the longest tenured staff members you’re likely to meet anywhere, in any company.

Because we love what we do.

A big part of what we do is building long-term relationships with our customers. In fact, we see relationships as one of our core business assets. If you’ve e-mailed with us or given us a call, you’ve connected directly with one of our customer-service team members: Andrew Linn, Heather Plyler, or Andrew Trumbo.

Should Equipment Changes Be Made Public in PGA Tour Events?

Should equipment changes be noted publicly before a player tees it up in a PGA Tour event? While that may sound crazy, it is common practice in horse racing. Some bettors want all the information they can get. With gambling now a big part of sports, I don’t think it’s a crazy idea. Already this year we saw Collin Morikawa (TaylorMade TP5x) winning an event with a putter borrowed from another player. Chris Gotterup (Bridgestone Tour B X with Mindset) won two tournaments this year after changing ball. And remember when Scottie Scheffler (Titleist Pro V1) went on a tear changing to a blade putter to a mallet putter?

Genesis Invitational Gives Us The Reality Of Sports

I’ve written this before and I’m repeating it because it never ceases to amaze me how televised sports is the ultimate reality show, the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat, as the now-defunct ABC Wild Word of Sports used as its intro. On the final hole of the Pebble Beach Open, Jacob Bridgeman (TaylorMade TP5x) was hitting a shot off of pebbles on the beach on the 18th hole. His ball ended up in the ocean and resulted in a bogey, tying him for eighth place when he was close enough starting the hole for a much better finish. I thought his spirits were crushed and dismissed him for the Genesis Invitational. So what does he do? Goes on a tear and headed into the final day, chasing a tournament record score. But he nearly frittered away the win, coming undone on the back half of the back nine and eking out a single stroke victory, and only because he parred a four-foot putt that must have seemed much longer because of the pressure. That’s drama, real drama, not manufactured reality. He won the event for the first time in his 66th tournament on the PGA Tour and only 65 days after marrying.

It's Time To Talk About Tiger Woods Again

Some thoughts on the world of golf with the Masters less than eight weeks away: When Tiger Woods (Bridgestone Tour B XS) speaks, we all listen. As the host of the Genesis Invitational this week, Woods held his annual address about his health, career, playing in the Masters and the PGA Tour at large. Woods is gradually returning to swinging his clubs from his latest back surgery last fall, which naturally had reporters asking him about his playing status. He did not specify when he will return to playing again, yet he tersely and emphatically did not rule out playing in the Masters. “No,” he said. Woods has always tried to play in the Masters, no matter his physical condition.
