Abstract: The invention relates to a golf ball (1), which has at least one transmitting and receiving antenna (10) and a position determination unit (11), which has a communicative connection to the transmitting and receiving antenna (10) and is designed to receive GPS data, which specify the position of the golf ball (1). Furthermore, the golf ball has a communication unit (12), which has a communicative connection to the transmitting and receiving antenna (10) and is designed to transmit radio data, in particular the position of the golf ball (1). In addition, the golf ball has at least one charging coil (14), which is connected to an energy store (13) and is designed to charge the energy store (13) by means of inductive energy transmission. Moreover, the invention relates to a method for locating an object, in particular a ball-like object, for example, a golf ball, and a transmitting and receiving antenna for use in such a ball-like object.
