Played today with a guy who claimed to shoot low 90's but used bright orange balls because he said he tends to lose white ones in the rough since he is always there. He easily shot in the 120's today and it was bad.

Wallie Coetsee on the European Tour is -9 under using a yellow Srixon ball. One off the lead.

Really I don't pay much attention to what others are using on the course. If they are using a different colored ball then it's easy to identify which ball is theirs sitting in the fairway etc. I did play a round last year with a guy using orange. His wife using a pink. My partner yellow and me white. It was a very colorful fairway a few times. It made us all chuckle

I'm not sure why anyone would care what color ball anyone else plays. So my answer to the question is, nothing.

I think they either got some yellow balls as a gift, got them from a bag of lakeballs, or just like yellow balls.

I think  that they are lucky because where I play the crows get them within a hole of you putting them into play. I like them.

Anyone who thinks negatively about the golf balls other people use is a fool.

Someone here was talking in another thread about "performance" balls, FFS.

Just play golf.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Hehe, just wanted to post 'hey I see this pro on the ET using yellow balls' but you beat me to it. Play yellow balls myself also btw. I'm not that good, so yellow balls are normally easier to find when I'm in the rough again. Love the game though!

Amen!

Many moons ago when I was playing in the Greater Bangor Open as an Amatuer, I was also in grad school, had no money so I played the tournament with Topflite XL's.  Came in 7th in the Am field.  This was back when the Titleist Professional was the it ball.

More men should wear pink. It's actually a very flattering color on all complexions. I guarantee if you wear a pink shirt to work you will get a ton of compliments.

Not necessarily :) I have several pink shirts and wore one to work one day. The fellas had a good time with the choice. Of course i manage Teamsters which makes for an interesting environment. But the girls in the office liked it!

I'm not being sexist, but from whom do you value a compliment more, men or women? You can't let men tell you what color shirt to wear! Hell, half of you are color blind, bless your hearts.

Honestly I could care less about the comments. I have worked with those guys since I was a kid (19 years old). And after 20 years they know I wear whatever I want. It's pretty fun to show up in a lavender polo and see them smile and shake their heads. They're used to it by now. I joke with them that their idea of "dressing up" is a clean camo t shirt. And I was a Teamster for 7 years as well.

Haha, I nearly said that if you listened only to the fellas we'd all be wearing camo! Not that there is anything wrong with camo. I'm not ashamed at all to admit that my Easter dress is going to be made from pink Realtree. Does that make me a redneck?

But here is a question related to colored balls. What do you really think when you see a grown man dressing like Ricky Fowler?

I have the same feeling as men in skinny jeans. Please don't!

I'm cool with you wearing pink but dude, you can't say that you're wearing lavender. It's purple if you want to retain your man-card.

    • I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though. 
    • For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.
