What is the difference between Refurbished and Lake golf balls?

QUESTION:
I’m selling golf balls online that i retrieved from the river and ponds from a golf course which I clean until they are like new.

One guy asked me if the golf balls were refurbished or were they lake balls? What do I say?

He also said he doesn’t want recoated ones, what does that mean too?

ANSWER:

Refurbished means they have been recovered, and possibly buffed and remarked. Lake balls are straight out of the lake, nothing special.

Never heard of balls being recoated. Another coat would push the balls diameter beyond the standard and make it fly shorter. and not to mention surlyn or urethane are expensive.
