1. A positioning system for determining a position of a golf ball comprising:
- a) said golf ball having a first transmitter positioned therein for transmitting a position signal at a frequency unique to said golf ball, a second transmitter using GPS to determine said position, a receiver, a processor and a ROM for storing said frequency;
b) a detection unit having a first processor, a first receiver and a display unit, said first receiver and display both connected to said first processor, wherein said position signal is received by said first receiver and processed by said first processor for generating directional instructions for display on said display unit providing aid to a user in locating the position of said golf ball; and
c) said detection unit having a first transmitter for sending a signal to said golf ball assigning said frequency to said golf ball, the receiver in said golf ball receiving said frequency assigning signal and the processor in said golf ball storing said frequency in said ROM, and a second transmitter using GPS to determine and to display a position of said detection unit.

Abstract
The present invention discloses a positioning system for determining the position of a golf ball. The golf ball positioning system includes a golf ball having a first transmitter positioned therein for transmitting a position signal. The system further includes a detection until having a first processor, a first receiver and a display. The first receiver and display are both connected to the first processor. The position signal is transmitted by the transmitter and is received by the first receiver and processed by the first processor. Upon processing the position signal, directional instructions are generated for display on the display and provide aid to the user in locating the position of the golf ball.
