Illuminated translucent golf ball
First Claim
1. A solid golf ball comprising a body in the shape of a sphere and made of a translucent plastic material, the outer surface of said sphere including closely spaced apart dimples, said ball being provided with a permanent diametrical hole extending therethrough for receiving and retaining a cylindrical chemiluminescent light stick having a diameter corresponding generally to the diameter of said diametrical hold so that the visibility of said ball in the dark will be enhanced when an activated chemiluminescent light stick as aforesaid is retained therein and the light from said stick is further enhanced by the diffused light passing through said dimples.

Abstract
A dimpled golf ball for use after dark. The ball is made of translucent plastic and contains in a diametrical hole therein a chemiluminescent light stick which when activated renders the ball when used in the dark plainly visible in the air and on the ground. In a preferred form, the ball is made to comply with the rules of the United States Golf Association so that it may also be used for competitive daytime play. In a modified form, the resilience of the ball may be substantially diminished so that it will travel a much less distance than the preferred ball when hit with the same club.
