Check your single sock drawer... the one full of mismatched socks where the mates disappeared in the dryer. Quote Link to comment
+wimseyguy Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 I only hide micros, so I don't have this problem. But I do notice that there are often golf balls out in the woods far from the nearest course or driving range. Stupid birds. Quote Link to comment

+Chrysalides Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Aren't we supposed to be protected from incidents like this? Someone really dropped the ball on this one. Quote Link to comment

+Chrysalides Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 But I left a pencil in it's place! I traded up! No, no, the exchange rate is two bottle caps and one short blunt pencil for a used golf ball. Quote Link to comment

You, who have been stealing those sweet vintage golf balls and replacing them with bottle caps and worn out pencils. I knew this thread would trap you! So.... what part of town are you in? Wanna meet for coffee some time? Edited July 25, 2009 by knowschad Quote Link to comment

And proximity to you and a certain dairy product worries me for some strange reason... Quote Link to comment

jholly Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 This thread looks like it belongs in off-topic. It does, doesn't it? I don't think so. Golf balls and pencils going missing is a very serious topic and very geocaching related. Can you name another activity, other than golf, where golf balls and pencils play a central roll?

Chumpo Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 This topic reminded me of a cache I did a while back. Here's my log: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?LU...cf-92a85a18e00c I now have that very golf ball in my collection of geoswag-that-means-something-to-me. Trevor and Kate retrieved the darn thing for me after reading that log. Quote Link to comment

I don't know what's going on but I'm going to get to the bottom of this (Lol) This is an outrage!!! You know, those golf balls are fully capable of moving about on their own. This young golf ball set off on a journey to track down her parents. Unfortunately, Dimples was lost forever after being taken into the care of a group of geocachers who haven't been out caching lately, apparently--though they do log in here now and again...

+Bad_CRC Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 I had a micro cache a while back near a golf course that was a hollow golf ball. to make it more interesting, I had about 6 real golf balls also hidden nearby, these had holes drilled into them, and were placed on sticks, they had the words "decoy, please don't steal" written on the bottom of them. someone still stole all of those... why, I don't know. I'm not sure what use someone would have with a golfball that has a big hole in it, and "please don't steal" written on it. Quote Link to comment

+Holtie22 Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Because the cache is not at the final coords on my Golf, Anyone?, I used golf balls at strategic points to indicate proximity to the cache. They frequently come up missing - Have you seen this one anywhere? Quote Link to comment
