A motion sensor is provided in the interior compartment of the golf ball which senses human intrusion into a specified area around the housing. A voice producing and emitting means is operatively connected to the motion sensor so that the voice producing and emitting means will emit a predetermined message when a human intrudes into the specified area around the housing. Preferably, a ground stake is secured to the golf ball for anchoring the golf ball.
