Exploring the Treasure of 500 Million lost golf balls with the NITE HAWK PREDATOR golf gadget

2016/7/19 14:26:22

Estimated 300 to 500 million golf balls get lost each year in the US. This means that a huge amount of money is lost while at the same time ~16 500 tons of special waste are left in the nature. As shown 2009 in a study of the Danish Golf Union, decomposing golf balls can release heavy metals those are set free to the surrounding flora. According to the test golf balls can take from 100 to 1,000 years to decompose naturally. While for lake balls already a recycling industry has emerged, lost balls on the course remain to have the fate of decomposition.

The conclusion question of this situation actually is simple:

Why not hunting the lost balls, a treasure of 500 million US Dollar*, and solving an environmental problem at the same time?

The NITE HAWK ball predator responses this question:

The NITE HAWK ball predator is an innovative golf gadget that enables you to find many lost balls in shortest time. It works in low light environments, either after your round of golf at dusk or during the cold seasons, when it´s getting dark early. By emitting specific short-wave light it makes normal golf balls illuminate in a miraculous way. Due to this effect you can easily find lost and hidden balls, those seem invisible at daytime. By building up a high contrast between lost ball and environment, balls get detectable, where only 1% surface is exposed. This works out, because the sensitivity of the human eye is directly related to the level of darkness. In complete darkness the Iris is opened to the highest level and we get enormously sensitive against light. Under these conditions one can see stars 2.5 million light years away (Andromeda) or a golf ball, where only one dimple is exposed.


Finding many lost balls in shortest time is a new way to get profit and fun at the same time and constitutes a nature event that can easily be setup as hunting contest for golfers (e.g. event mangers and tournament promoters). At the same time it helps you and your golf club to reduce the waste on the course.

When to hunt golf balls? Best seasons for hunting are late autumn, winter, and spring. This is because the greenery is decayed- Especially when the snow has melt great amounts balls are partially "washed free" from the environment.

However balls can be found during the whole year (except under snow), as long its dark enough outside.

The custom made NITE HAWK ball predator was developed out of >50 different prototypes in order to combine properties like long lasting power, high quality and LED longevity, high resistance of torch, small size with a pleasing design and superb quality price.

Its efficacy, its simplicity of use and the aesthetic design makes this an essential golf accessories and a great gift for anyone who loves playing golf. Furthermore it is probably the device with the fastest amortization rate in sports industry. More Info and Demo Video on www.nite-hawk.net
