I read this on a packet of oatmeal this morning:

Question: In the U.S., how much is spent on golf balls each year?

Answer: $630 Million

That is a lot of bad golf! 

 To illustrate I did some simple math… I took the cost of a decent pack of golf balls, bought online and figured out how much $630M gets you.  There are probably a lot of variables that you can add to the equation (types of ball, used/range balls, balls bought at a country club, etc.).  Hence, I’m calling this simple math using the one brand/ball.  Anyway, you can get 36 Pinnacle Gold golf balls for $22 online at a golf ball specific website (they don’t sponsor me so I’m not mentioning the site).    

At that price, $630 million would buy a total of 1,030,909,090 golf balls.  One billion golf balls!!!!  I don’t even want to imagine the size of the cumulative crater that all those hackers have collectively made…. and that’s just in the U.S.
