Golfer accused of tossing 3,000 balls into Joshua Tree park<\/h3>\n

Joshua Tree National Park<\/a>, in the California desert not far from Palm Springs, is known for its strange trees and bare rocks. But not golf.<\/p>\n

That’s why the discovery of nearly 3,000 golf balls on the alien landscape caused the National Park Service to cry something other than “Fore!”, the\u00a0Los Angeles Times<\/em>\u00a0tells us<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Seems the bevy of balls, tossed from a passing car, was just one golf lover’s tribute to dead duffers.<\/p>\n

Park spokesman Joe Zarki explains:<\/p>\n

“Sometime around 2007 our rangers began discovering large quantities of golf balls in some turnout areas of the park. We were wondering what was going on here. There were also some tennis balls involved.<\/span>“He said he did it because he wanted to honor all the golfers who had died.”<\/span><\/p>\n
