Nuclear Golf

[Simon "M." Jerome <smj1@npl.co.uk>]

This may provide a little light relief. It comes from the Reader's 
Digest 'Strange Stories, Amazing Facts of America's Past'.

In 1950, scientists perfected...a golf ball containing radioactive 
material. With a small Geiger counter...any duffer could find his 
atomic golf ball, no matter how far into the rough it had disappeared. 
(The investment would pay for itself in retrieved balls)...

I suppose this would make for interesting dose calculations when you 
actually found the thing!
