Hm. It seems that the additional light from the skysphere has a great impact
on the lighting. I'll see if I can adjust the threeway-lighting model to get
a similiar effect on the golf-balls. Maybe that'll be faster than radiosity.

And you shouldn't switch transparency off, as radiosity won't be calculated
behind transparent objects then, which is probably why the watersphere looks
different.
