Many people love to play golf. Some play it well, while others (like me) play it very poorly. I have lost many golf balls on my many errant shots. It is estimated that about 500 million golf balls are lost per year. Prazza is trying to change this. They are developing a golf ball that uses Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology to help golfers locate their lost balls. The price is being is significantly higher than regular golf balls, but the added value of not losing balls makes up for the increase in price.

ReplyDeleteThis seems like a great idea! I always lose my golf ball! And now that most golf carts are getting those gps systems that show the hole layout and your location, I wonder if they can come up with a technology that will link your ball location with the gps on the cart or those portable garmin golf gps things.
ReplyDeleteMy question is: are the balls waterproof? and will it locate your ball in the water? That seems to be where I lose my ball the most!

I just can't see this taking off. What if goes in the water, clears a fence, or scuffs on a tree or cart path. A Pro-v 1 is only about $3.50 I just don't see how they can make money on these.
