I agree, I have been waiting for the RFID golf balls to arrive. I'm sure this would be fairly easy to implement.]]>Apr 24th 2006 7:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/23/ballfinder-scout-tracks-down-golf-balls-with-scanning-camera/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/23/ballfinder-scout-tracks-down-golf-balls-with-scanning-camera/

40 bucks for a box of balls, and they're supposed to be pretty good. The problem is USGA rules prevent you from using microchipped balls in official play, so the SCOUT could be a good alternative.]]>Apr 24th 2006 9:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/23/ballfinder-scout-tracks-down-golf-balls-with-scanning-camera/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/23/ballfinder-scout-tracks-down-golf-balls-with-scanning-camera/They also have the balls here:http://www.sybervision.com/radargolf/index.htm.

According to the USGA the radar golf balls conform to USGA Rules: "The USGA states that scores may still be submitted for handicap purposes since the RadarGolfSystem does not assist in the physical execution of the golf stroke."

They just need to get the pin-sized rfid chip into all golf balls so the brand loyal have some variety!]]>Apr 24th 2006 11:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/23/ballfinder-scout-tracks-down-golf-balls-with-scanning-camera/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/23/ballfinder-scout-tracks-down-golf-balls-with-scanning-camera/Apr 24th 2006 12:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/23/ballfinder-scout-tracks-down-golf-balls-with-scanning-camera/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/23/ballfinder-scout-tracks-down-golf-balls-with-scanning-camera/I am all over the RFID ball finder.]]>Apr 24th 2006 3:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/23/ballfinder-scout-tracks-down-golf-balls-with-scanning-camera/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/23/ballfinder-scout-tracks-down-golf-balls-with-scanning-camera/
