Mather & Barnes invent the golf ball with ears
Besides working with their regular clients, Melbourne agency It’s the thought that counts – owned by the legendary Ron Mather and Christine Barnes – has developed its own gift product, ‘The Listener Golf Ball’.
Says Mather: “The Golf Ball With Ears is the ideal gift for golfers who have tried every thing to improve their game, everything except an understanding golf ball. If you play golf you’ll know all golfers talk to their golf balls. From the moment they tee off golfers start shouting instructions at their balls: ‘Get out of there’, ‘Kick left’, ‘Not in the bunker’, ‘Stay out of the water’, ‘Get in the hole’, etc etc. But the golf balls just ignore the instructions, they just don’t listen, how can they? Golf balls don’t have ears… until now.”
According to the blurb: The Listener is the only golf ball in the world with ears. One on either side of its little white head. And because it has ears, it can listen. Giving you a lot better chance of it doing what you tell it to and improving your game.
There’s no guarantee of course, except The Listener is definitely guaranteed to put a smile on your face and make a perfect gift for any golfer you know that talks to their golf ball.
The Listener comes with a complete set of instructions of how it likes to be spoken to and how to get the best results.
It can understand every language on the planet except bad language and will soon be the talk of golfers all over the world.
The Listener is guaranteed to put a smile on the face of golfers everywhere this Christmas. It’s available on line at www.thelistenergolfball.com.au for $15 + postage. It’s also available at Henry Bucks and at selected golf pro shops.

Brilliant.
Nice. Was probably invented at lunch. I even like the Mather-era font.
Great idea
i bought one…it really works…
I tried to convince mine to come out of its box but it just wouldn’t listen to me.
Two guys are playing golf. One notices the other has an unusual-looking ball. “What’s with that crazy ball?” he asks.
“If it goes in the rough, it emits a beeping sound, if you hit it into a water hazard, it swims to the surface and produces a bright blinking light, and if you hit it into a sand trap, it has a little motor which allows it to drive right out onto the green” his mate replies.
“Where did you get it?” the first guy asks.
“i found it.”
A Rabbi is playing golf on a Saturday, which is forbidden under strict Jewish law.
Up in the heavens, Hymie notices this and squeals “God – look, down there! Rabbi Lubovski, playing golf on your holy day! You must punish him.”
“OK”, says God, “Watch this..”
As the Rabbi tees off on the third, he makes the ball swerve across the fairway, off a tree, into a bunker and out again, richochet off a small lake onto the green- where it goes in three tight circles around the pin and drops in for a hole-in-one.
Hymie is horrified. “You call this punishment???”
“Who can he tell?”
you shouldnt have ordered the female one
