A faint logo visible beneath the silt solved the mystery. The balls had likely been hit into the lake from a nearby golf course, where they sank, settled, and collected in small depressions over time. Golf balls commonly end up resting on lakebeds because they are denser than water and sink, often accumulating in ponds and water hazards.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Residents of a small village were intrigued after unusual round objects were spotted in crater-like holes at the bottom of a clear artificial lake.
