One of the most technological advancements in the game of golf today is the golf ball. Golf balls today are so advanced that even Jack Nicklaus is calling for a new golf ball to be developed to be toned down 10 percent, to be used at next year’s Masters tournament.

Wired News: House Backs $10 Million 'H Prize'

Wired News: House Backs $10 Million 'H Prize': "WASHINGTON -- Scientists, inventors and entrepreneurs will be able to vie for a grand prize of $10 million, and smaller prizes reaching millions of dollars, under House-passed legislation to encourage research into hydrogen as an alternative fuel.

Legislation creating the 'H-Prize,' modeled after the privately funded Ansari X Prize that resulted last year in the first privately developed manned rocket to reach space twice, passed the House Wednesday on a 416-6 vote. A companion bill is to be introduced in the Senate this week."
