If you’ve ever lost a ball at Washoe County Golf Course, there’s a good chance it’s going to a local high school golf team, thanks to a healthy habit of Joe Melcher Jr.
Melcher takes daily walks along the golf course near where he lives at Premier Residences. He has found 2,460 golf balls over the years. He takes them home, washes them and sorts them by color, brand and logo. They are stored in boxes in his residence.
But Melcher, 96, is running out of room and will donate them to the high school golf teams later in April…
