ABSTRACT:
A luminescent or phosphorescent golf ball, which emits a luminescent glow, is provided, for ease of finding the ball in the dark. A method of manufacture is also provided. Three embodiments are disclosed. In one embodiment, the golf ball includes a flexible core which has a primer coat disposed over the core outer surface and, a luminescent or phosphorescent coating is applied thereto followed by encapsulating the flexible core with its luminescent outer coating with a transparent, hard plastic cover. A second embodiment uses any conventional golf ball and applies the primer coat and luminescent coat thereto. The third embodiment provides a luminescent outer plastic cover that encapsulates a flexible core. A phosphorescent glow is emitted from the golf ball after directly applying on the golf ball one of light and heat energy for a sufficient period of time and after removing the source of said energy.
