A 27-year-old man drowned while diving for golf balls at an Irving country club Wednesday night, according to officials.
Employees at the Las Colinas Country Club noticed one of men employed by the company that recovers balls from the golf course ponds had not returned by closing time at 8 p.m, said Stephen Salzman, the club's general manager.
When they found the man's cart sitting empty next to one of the ponds, they called police, who searched the lake and recovered the body identified by the Dallas County medical examiner's office as Christopher Logan.

He was diving for balls as a job not trying to save a buck.

I thought for sure I would find that he was pushed into the pond by a pit bull.

Don’t you watch “Dirty Jobs”? There are whole companies dedicated to retrieving sunken golf balls, cleaning them up, and re-selling them.
