It's a Bird, It's a Plane... It's a Frigging Flashing Golf Ball!
Posted by Nick
Here's a golf ball that I could have used for most of my playing life:
Tracer provides the high performance aerodynamics, control, accuracy, feel and distance you expect from a professional quality ball, but flashes brightly when you hit it, and then flashes continually for about 5 minutes enabling you to find your ball easily, or even play golf in the dark!
Assuming there's no trade-off in performance, I think the biggest obstacle to getting people to use this will be pride. Then again, since I judge the success of a round not by my low score, but by the low number of balls lost, I could be interested in this.
