The BēKEN was developed by two friends who are average golfers after getting tired of searching for golf balls that their golf partners had already found. They realized that a lot of time was wasted not only in locating a golf ball, but also in re-locating a golf ball. When developing the BēKEN, local businesses in the western New York region were utilized from design to production, so when you purchase a BēKEN you are not supporting another large golf company, you’re supporting a small business.
