Will We Be Able to Find Tiger?
Posted by Nick
According to this press release, a new product is designed to help you find golf balls by blocking out anything not white.
The product is patented Canadian scientific technology based on physics. The special lenses in the glasses block out all colours except the colour white. A white golf ball will "glow" making it much easier to find.
For a golfer, finding their lost golf ball means fewer penalty strokes which will automatically lower their score. The glasses will not only save them money in replacement golf balls but they have also been found to speed up the game by an average of 12 minutes per round.
There are all sorts of other bad race jokes one could do but I have a serious question: I wonder if this would help you hit a baseball better?

How do you block out all colors except for white? White is the combination of all colors of light. Picture a prism dispersing sunlight. Do you see any white in the spectrum? (The correct answer is no.)
I can understand only seeing blue or green or red, but I don't get it. However it happens, it will save me on balls.
