I tried a render with radiosity for the golf balls and it looks nice 
IMHO (see image) but render stops before the end (0pps, maybe some bug).
I also tried the two pass rendering trick and it really speeds things 
up. I did the dummy render at 300x300, no reflection, no transparency, 
no aa and the final at 600x600 (still running). So far the water ball 
seems really different from yours so I guess I have to not remove 
transparency during the dummy render.
