RadarGolf Launches New Golf Technology with The Sharper Image
Wednesday, August 3, 2005

ROSEVILLE, Calif., August 3, 2005 ― RadarGolf™ Inc. announced the company has entered into an exclusive agreement with The Sharper Image™ to offer the company’s RadarGolf system, featuring Ball Positioning System™ technology. RadarGolf’s BPS™ technology helps golfers quickly locate lost golf balls. The Sharper Image will feature the new product during the 2005 holiday season in all its sales channels – retail stores, mail-order catalog and online Website.

RadarGolf CEO Steve Harari said, “This is a very significant retail partnership for RadarGolf. Sharper Image will be the only retailer to carry our new, innovative product this holiday season.”

Richard Thalheimer, founder and CEO of The Sharper Image, said, “A system like this for finding lost golf balls has been a dream of inventors for a long time but only RadarGolf has succeeded. Golfers will absolutely love this fantastic product. By quickly finding wayward golf balls, golfers save time, save money and – most importantly – save strokes. What can be more fun than being electronically guided to your ball hiding in that tuft of grass? Everyone will benefit and enjoy the game even more .”

The RadarGolf system is allowed for posting U.S. Golf Association handicaps. However, it cannot be used in USGA tournament play.

The system, which includes one RadarGolf handheld device and carrying case, one dozen USGA-conforming RadarGolf balls, two Shield-It™ pouches and an instructional DVD, is priced at $349.95. Additional golf balls are priced at $39.95 a dozen. In addition to The Sharper Image stores, consumers may reserve a system now at http://www.radargolf.com/ for delivery in the United States and Canada this Christmas season. Shipments outside of North America will begin in 2006.
