John Garey amasses more than 300 golf balls in a curious corner of Seventh Street and Santiago Avenue. Living near Recreation Park, balls roll from two courses into his red house, creating a steady stream as overhits and tops fly toward his home. He admits the habit is more target than hobby and hints at not playing much himself.
