Integrated Microelectronics has been selected by Radar Golf, a Roseville, California-based company, to produce the RadarGolf Handheld golf ball finder device. Integrated Microelectronics President and Chief Executive Officer Arthur R Tan says: 'We began working with Radar Golf in December 2003 and it is very exciting to see this breakthrough product now so close to coming to market'. Earlier this week, Radar Golf announced in a press release that in tests at an independent laboratory, the company's RadarGolf Ball performed equal to or better than competitive balls from Titleist, Callaway, Nike and Maxfli.

The tests measured both distance and spin.

The ball conforms to US Golf Association standards.

Designed by Larry Cadorniga, the company's Chief Technology Officer and a 25-year veteran of ball design and manufacturing, the RadarGolf Ball contains proprietary BPS ball positioning system technology that enables the golfer to quickly find a 'lost' golf ball with the RadarGolf Handheld that 'beeps' when pointed toward the ball.

Detection range is 30-100ft.

The RadarGolf Ball is being manufactured by Fantom Co at its factory in Qingdao, China.

Radar Golf CEO Steve Harari says: 'Golfers of all handicaps continue to reserve systems and tell us that they would like to minimise lost ball penalties and spend less time looking for balls'.

According to Radar Golf, the RadarGolf System will sell for $249, including a dozen golf balls.

A dozen balls only will sell for $39.

First shipments are scheduled for June 2005 and systems can be reserved at www.radargolf.com.
