A new Golf Ball Distance and Locating System for determining the distance a
golf ball was driven and for locating the golf ball within difficult to
locate terrain. The inventive device includes a transmitter concentrically
positioned within the golf ball, a receiver for determining distance and
direction of the golf ball from a golfer. The transmitter is surrounded by
an impermeable encasement which is positioned within a protective gel
contained by a gel container for reducing shock impact from striking the
golf ball thereby reducing the chance of damage to the transmitter. The
gel container is positioned within a viscous liquid concentrically filling
the golf ball thereby providing additional protection for the transmitter
from the shock impact. The transmitter emits a high frequency signal which
is detected by the receiver which thereafter determines the distance from
the receiver and the direction of the golf ball in relation to a projected
direction of the receiver.
