I can easily find a half dozen balls every round I play without really trying - but I've got hundreds and struggle to sell them at church fetes. So I wouldn't bother buying torch to help me find more.

I've walked a couple of holes in the dark, going back to try to find a club I left behind. I had a feeble phone torch and really didn't trust where I was stepping. And this is a course I know like the back of my hand.
There are people who scour the edges of golf courses for lost balls, but they are not usually golfers.

I would do a bit of research and walk round your local courses just before dark.
I think you will see very few golfers, two or three groups on the last couple of holes mid summer maybees.
Someone walking on a golf course in the dark with torch might attract the attention of the police.

I wouldn't waste my money.
Is this "research" or just free advertising?

Wow, there is some anger on this thread. On each course I have been a member of there have been dog walkers on the course in the evening. Many also play golf and pass the time looking for balls whilst Bonzo is charging around chasing rabbits. Links courses all over the country are likely to have rights of way on them. Are you likely to go out specifically searching for balls? No. If you are out as the light dims might you get the torch out and shine it in the undergrowth? Quite possibly. Loads of golfers re-use golf balls that have been found, not everyone is precious and will only use brand new ProV1's.
As Paul wrote earlier, a likely Christmas present from your Auntie that knows you play golf but knows nothing about the game. No harm done.

There is a faint aroma of spam beginning to filter through. Plenty of similar products out there already by the look of it so not exactly creating a niche in the market

When I lose a ball, I can normally see it, but am not able to get it because of a physical obstruction, ie a fence, so I don't think it would help me much. A ball retriever would probably be more useful.
already some available so why bother, its not like you have invented something new... and its a limited market anyway

When I lose one, it usually stays lost, very deep in the bundu

I know what your saying. If I go wide, its very wide, usually heading off towards either Slough or Virginia Water and never to be found again especially in summer when the grass is knee high

End of the day, it's just a lost golf ball. If I can't afford to lose a golf ball I shouldn't be playing the game.
