Radar Love

Golf Digest Tested.

You swore your shot was OK, but your five-minute search just ended and you just lost another ball and the match.  With RadarGolf’s new microchip-embedded golf balls and tracking system, that doesn’t have to happen again.  In our test, we pumped a dozen U.S. Golf Association-approved balls into all kinds of nasty places, but the hand-held unit’s metal detector-like signal, which beeps at a quicker rate the closer you get, found all 12.  The balls (a dozen are included--$40 value) performed like normal golf balls.  The only drawback (besides the $350 price) is the geek factor.  Who wants to wander around with an oversize, beeping PDA?  But if you can take the teasing, the RadarGolf System works.
