Give the gift of a lower handicap. In 2002, Keith Blakely founded NanoDynamics, based in Buffalo, to manufacture materials for electronics and fuel cells using nanotechnology. Recently he applied the company's technology to the links.

This year the United States Golf Association approved the NDMX balls for tournament play.
