Bringing your balls back home

Lost balls can be both embarrassing and irritating. Well, may you never fear another errant ball or unfruitful swing with the Scout. In these days of rampant convergence, it’s one of those rare devices that unapologetically does only one thing: it finds your golf balls.

Inside this handheld wonder is a specialised digital video sensor and custom electronics that enable it to scan more than 50 square metres of fairway (or rough) in 10 seconds. Even if your wayward ball is showing as little as three wee dimples, it’s enough for the Scout to pick it out.

Just be sure you zero in on your balls and not someone else’s by mistake.
