Never lose a golf ball again

Not by improving your swing - by using this nifty scanning digital camera.

If a round of golf fills you with the prospect of losing more balls than a truckload of prospective eunuchs, you might benefit from the Ballfinder Scout, a device that uses cutting edge technology to retrieve "misplaced" spheres.

Employing a digital camera that scans 600 square feet per second, the Ballfinder can pick out a white ball with as little as 1% of its surface exposed, vibrating madly when it does so. So, unless you're forever hooking shots into lakes or completely out of the golf course, it should ensure that you never lose a Titleist again.

The bad part is that it costs £140, a sum which could buy you a fair few balls. Still, you also get an instructional DVD featuring the ever-cheery Nick Faldo. Click here if you're interested.
