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.

Bridgestone Makes A Key Manufacturing Move

Bye bye Bridgestone. Shocking news that Bridgestone is closing its golf ball plant and test facility in Georgia after 36 years and shifting its manufacturing to Japan on June 30. The bulk of Bridgestone balls are manufactured in Japan anyway. As one of the top five golf ball manufacturing companies, Bridgestone got a huge lift when Tiger Woods became its top player. Chris Gotterup (Bridgestone Tour B X) is its top PGA Tour ambassador now. It will be interesting to see if Bridgestone makes a huge marketing push to tag along to the current popularity of Japanese men's and women's golf.

Korda Registers Impressive Win in the Chevron Championship

Woah, Nelly. That was quite an impressive performance by Nelly Korda (TaylorMade TP5x) in the Chevron Championship, scoring a five-shot victory, winning wire to wire and setting a LPGA majors record with a score of 14-under par after 36 holes. With the win, she vaulted into first place in the world rankings ahead of Jeeno Thitikul (Callaway Chrome Tour X), who surprisingly didn’t make the cut and continued the distinction of the greatest active player not to win a major. More on that later.

Jeeno, Nelly And Hannah Head Field For LPGA's First Major Of The Season

It’s the first LPGA Tour major of the season. Who do you think will win? It will be interesting to see who takes the ceremonial jump into the water at the 2026 Chevron Championship, which takes place this year at the Memorial Park Golf Course, site of the recent Texas Children’s Houston Open, following three years at Carlton Woods.
