Pretty much every kid has wished they had their own personal ice rink during the winter, some may have even gone so far as to break out the hose and try to ice their driveway, much to the annoyance of their parents.

If you’ve ever had difficulty finding your balls after dark (golf balls that is) then these might just be the answer, the Twilight Tracer Golf Balls.

The twilight tracer golf balls have all the required functionality of a conventional ball (feel, accuracy, distance, regulation size and weight, etc.) and look exactly like a normal ball. That is until you hit it, where upon it changes from a boring white dimpled ball to an all singing red flashing flying sphere.

You can get the twilight tracer golf balls from latestbuy for $39.95 (AUD).
