Golf balls for dark conditions

    Anyone suggest the best balls for dark conditions.

    In terms of standard ball, usually find white is quite hard to see in the dark. Yellow seems to be much easier to see in the dark.

    Been taking a look at special light up balls. Anyone ever use these: http://www.nightflyer.com/

    They contain an LED and light up for 8 minutes once struck by a golf club. From reviews, the problem seems to be that the ball is quite hard. Not recommended they be used with woods as they could potential damage the club face. Certain reviews I've read also seem to say that the balls cut very easily. They are pricey too. 3 balls costing about €25.

    Are there any balls for sales which are coated in a fluorescent material, which would trap sunlight and then glow once it starts to get dark ?

    I had this amazing ball that you just couldnt lose, it glowed in the dark, floated and also gave off a beeping noise as you got near it.

    I found it in the rough to the right of the 12th.

    I'll be honest, I'm struggling with this? :o

    The ball you can't lose, but yet someone else did? (Clasping at straws here)
