Meteorite Hunters Come Up Short

Now we at GP know that the only water the average amateur likes on a golf course is safely tucked away in a bottle inside their bag. However, two divers in Edmonton searching for a meteorite just reinforced to us that golf balls and water are about as synonymous as butter and toast.

Indeed, when two loopy divers, Aaron Soas and Derek Zienowicz plunged themselves into the frozen water of a pond on an Edmonton golf course, with the aid of a chainsaw to create the hole, they didn’t find the meteorite they were searching for, but a load of stray golf balls!


The new Srixon Meteorite TM. Get's unbelievable distance but pitch marks are no fun.

The pair, who contrary to rumours aren’t crazy, embarked on their adventure after hearing the meteorite, which is as small as a driver head-cover, could fetch up to $10, 000. The mission was unsuccessful and was like trying to find a person who appreciates good music at a Spice Girls Concert.

The discovery is rumoured to have caused a frenzy of golfers flocking to the lake to retrieve their wayward Pro-V1s. None of the lily livered, cold weather wusses at GP Towers are prepared to risk pneumonia for golf balls. But that’s no reason to stand in the way of men and their meteorites.
