MonsterQuest Makes Loch Ness Discovery
Posted by: Loren Coleman on April 8th, 2009
It appears a leak has occurred with regard to a recent Loch Ness finding made by MonsterQuest’s film crew, according to a new Daily Express dispatch.
When the US scientists lowered their high tech, cameras 800ft into Loch Ness, they were prepared for anything – except golf balls.
Instead of zooming in on Nessie, the cameras picked up tens of thousands of balls posing a threat to the species that live there.
Loch Ness has been designated with “international conservation importance” because of its unique aquatic life.
It is believed holidaymakers and locals are using the loch as a golf range.
Mike O’Brien. of Louisiana-based Sea Trepid. sent remote cameras down in the hope of discovering Nessie for the US TV show, MonsterQuest.
He said: “There’s a lot of debris down there, including, literally, a coating of golf balls. It’s a shame really.”
Green Party MSP Patrick Harvie said: “From the Moon to the bottom of Loch Ness, golf balls are humanity’s signature litter.
“If there was anything of interest down there, it would not do it any good to be hit like this.
“You can get biodegradable balls now and anyone looking to fire a few off into Loch Ness or elsewhere should get a stock in.”

Maybe all those golf balls are what killed Nessie?
Maybe the golf balls are actually Nessie eggs! I’m getting ready for the nessie apocalypse!
That is a shame. People seem to think that golf balls aren’t litter.
we possibility: Nessie is a golfer.
I wonder if the biodegradable golfballs would float? Haha. They would have fixed this a long time ago if normal golfballs floated, and the loch started looking like a mini-golf course.
Of course, I can’t pretend I’ve never carelessly tee’d off a few. Except mine don’t land on Nessie.
Stinkfoot, you beat me to it, great minds think alike! Amazing how man has the capacity to negatively impact every ecosystem.
Why am I picturing The Amazing Randi performing a backswing while yelling “Fore!!”?
Alligators that live on golf course water hazards (that gives new meaning to the phrase doesn’t it? ) regularly swallow golf balls as gizzard stones. Maybe Nessie does something similar
Another reason golf, in general, should be banned…
Yes, another reason golf should be banned.
Golfers usually played by the upper class who look down their noses while they play thinking they’re connecting to nature at the same time, yet in reality, their sport actually pollutes the environment horribly, the monocultured lawns used for golfing require pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, and heavy fertilizers, all which harm if not destroy the environment.
