Where Is My Lost Golf Ball ?

 I have played golf for twenty years now and I can tell you I have lost many golf balls in many unexpected places.  I have walked many a mile searching for my lost golf ball. I have waded through deep waters, trudged though heavy forests and even dared to threaten the inevitable sand gods looking for the lost golf ball.  One day I decided that I need a way to find the proverbial lost golf ball so I developed a system whereby I could locate the lost golf ball-  the golf ball locator.

 First one needs to know how a golf ball is made. Originally golf balls were wooden. This was a bit hard so they started putting feathers or hair in the golf ball to give it a bit of cushion.  This greatly helped the players’ accuracy.  The golf ball would go straighter but not necessarily farther. Then a leather covering replaced the canvas that had always been the standard up to that point in time, which was about 1690.  Then in 1890 manufacturers started replacing the hard interior with a gummy substance.  Wow this revolutionized the game of golf at the time.  Unfortunately the gummy substance often came apart in mid air. Although the gummy ball was cheaper and subsequently increased the golf population, the breakup issue had to be addressed.  In comes the rubber cored golf ball;  finally a golf ball that does not break apart when hammered by a golf club.  Plus the industry managed to keep the price low enough so as to not disturb the growing golfer population.  Golf was becoming the everyday man’s game and no longer the game of kings. After settling on weight and appeareance, the golf ball was ready to be located.

 In comes the lost golf ball locator.  This consists of tiny, minuscule emitters of energy all around the golf ball.  In effect the golf ball becomes a transmitter of signals that is received by the golf ball receiver/processor.  This unit is incorporated right onto your golf bag or golf cart.  The golf course coordinates are inputted into the locator and the receiver displays the golf ball energy signals off of the LED display.  At any time the golfer can locate that lost golf ball he once called a mulligan.
