Look inside

  • Lucky glows among other golf balls in a golf bag. Text: Meet Lucky! He's no ordinary golf ball. He doesn't just roll straight or fly far. He has something special.
  • A golfer putts Lucky toward the cup. Text: When someone plays with Lucky, things just seem to go right. Putts curve into the cup.
  • Lucky looks tired, thinking of a nearly empty battery. Text: But his luck doesn't last forever. Golf balls can only carry so much luck.
  • Lucky splashes into a pond. Text: Lucky splashes into a pond. His luck is gone.
