GREG KINNEAR - KINNEAR TURNS GOLF INVENTOR

KINNEAR TURNS GOLF INVENTOR

Actor GREG KINNEAR has caught the inventing bug after playing the man who came up with the idea for an intermittent windshield wiper in a new movie.
Portraying Bob Kearns in the new film Flash of Genius has left Kinnear thinking about all the other simple things he could invent - like an electronic golfball finder.
He explains, "I play golf a little bit and I don't know why somebody can't invent an electronic ball finder for $29.95. It's a great father's day gift and it would sell off the racks.
"When a mediocre golfer can't find a ball that is four feet from them is baffling to me in the year 2008.
"That's my big invention that I'm putting out into the world. Obviously I do want credit and I will sue you if take that without my consultation rights."
In the film Kinnear's real-life character has his car accessory idea stolen from him and he fights the might of the Ford Motor Company to get the proper credit for his invention.
