«Breaking News» Entrepreneurs claim to have solved age-old problem of hunting through long grass with trackable ball

Golf can be a notoriously frustrating game – and few things are more annoying than losing a ball in the rough.

But two entrepreneurs claim to have solved the age-old problem – by inventing a trackable golf ball. 

Instead of hunting through the long grass – often in vain – when a shot goes astray, golfers can just pull out their smartphone and launch an app that will tell them exactly where their ball lies.

Losing your golf ball in the long grass could be a thing of the past with the 'Never Lost Ball' (file)

The app works by picking up a Bluetooth signal emitted by a small transmitter inside the ball – and guiding the player to its source. The signal can be detected up to 150 yards away, so a golfer should have no trouble finding their ball if they have a vague idea where it landed.

Swiss inventors Thomas Sandel and Alex Raimondi claim future versions of the ball will also allow players to check where their opponent’s ball is – and ensure they do not cheat by surreptitiously nudging it into a better location. 

Previous attempts at similar product have failed because Bluetooth transmitter cant take force

The Never Lost ball, which complies with the rules of golf, is expected to be available in shops by Christmas and will cost about £13.

Previous attempts to produce a trackable ball have failed because they were either too heavy or the transmitters within them could not withstand the shock of a golf club impact.

‘We have invented a ball that will allow golfers to play faster and score better,’ Mr Sandel said.

Nearly half a billion balls are estimated to be lost on the world’s 35,000 golf courses each year.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
