Gopher BallsLost a ball? Now it gets to travel.
Each Gopher Ball carries its own QR code. When someone finds it, they scan it, the ball logs where it turned up, and you watch its journey grow across courses, states and countries.
Tracking is free for everyone, forever. Finders never pay.
Every ball, sleeve and box has its own code.
Grab it and spin it. Your logo goes on one side of the ball and its own code on the other. The sleeve and the dozen box carry codes too, so registering a whole box takes one scan.
- Ball codeWhoever finds the ball scans it to log the find and see where it has been.
- Sleeve codeRegisters that sleeve's 3 balls in one scan.
- Dozen box codeRegisters all 12 balls in one scan.
Every scan leads into your community: the map, the leaderboard and the finds.
The ball: your logo on one side, its own code on the other. Finders scan it to log where it turned up.

Every ball, its own code
We print a unique QR code and a short code on each ball. No two are ever the same.
Register and play
Register one ball or a whole box in seconds. Your name, home course and a nickname go on its page.
Someone finds it
They scan it with their phone camera. No app. They see who it belongs to and log the find with their email.
The journey grows
The find is placed on the map, the miles add up, and the ball climbs the leaderboard.
A lost ball is the start of the story.
Golfers lose an estimated 500 million balls a year. Most are fished out, cleaned and played again by someone else. A Gopher Ball keeps track of every stop.
- Every find on a map, with the course or town
- Total miles, longest hop and number of finds
- Photos finders choose to share, and their notes
- An email to you whenever your ball turns up
The most traveled balls

Found a Gopher Ball?
Point your phone camera at the code, or type the short code printed under it. It takes ten seconds and tells the owner their ball is still out there.
