I'd sink a bunch of rebar into the ground, various heights, 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 feet and put those put those babies on the tops of the rebar.
My neighbors aren't that fond of my yard, btw.

Someone should set up a GFM account to send these to Washington. These are seriously lacking there.

My nephew works at Brunswick. I'll ask him what the two grooves cut into the balls were for.
