They use a special type of golf ball at Sarasota. They float instead of sinking and can be retrieved at the water's edge. They must weigh less than standard golf balls.
When practicing, I don't like to hit balls into the water. I like to see how the ball bounces when it lands because this tells me what kind of spin it has. This helps me adjust my swing. Can't tell this when the ball lands in the water. There's just a splash.
