Tired of hitting a golf ball into the woods and having to leave it behind because you couldn't find it? Chris Savarese knows your pain, but instead of just muttering to himself and re-loading, he invented a system for finding golf balls that will enable players to locate a potentially lost ball within seconds. Welcome to Radar Golf, just in time for the Shoreditch Open ... "Golfers tell us they see our system for finding golf balls as a way to improve their score rapidly and get more satisfaction and enjoyment from the game," said Steve Harari, CEO of Radar Golf. "By minimizing lost ball penalties, we estimate that the average golfer will improve per-round scores by an average of two to four strokes. Golf course operators and manufacturers also stand to gain from a faster pace of play and more total rounds played." The Radar Golf system consists of a U.S. Golf Association-conforming golf ball that contains the Radar Golf radio-frequency "tag" and a compact handheld device that attaches to a golf bag. The handheld unit "beeps" when pointed at the ball and is effective at a distance of 40 to 125 feet. The tag is extremely small and is built into the ball at the time of manufacture; it can be included in any commercial golf ball. Patti Hayes, an advisor to Radar Golf, said, "I have met with representatives of the leading manufacturers of golf balls, and they see a great deal of opportunity with this product." Hayes, a former professional golfer and owner of a large retail golf store, is a golf industry consultant and women's high school golf coach. "With my high school players, I've seen first-hand the problem of losing balls in the fairway because of heavy leaf coverage in the fall. I think golfers will be thrilled with the product."
