I voted White Golf Balls Only. 

I figure if I play a colored golf ball, my mind would get use to it, but currently I do struggle to pick out the colored golf ball on the course when looking for it. 

After reading the article, it might be worth trying.

I prefer a colored ball. A white ball is too matchy, matchy with my white belt...

You either need to give up the white balls or white belt.

I’m pretty sure you’d prefer I wear the belt over the beltless result!  😀

I like the yellow ball in the winter, or a cloudy day. As I get older, the eyes are not getting any better, so might switch to yellow full time.

I generally prefer playing a white ball, but in the Spring when the mountains are snow capped it can be tough to track a white ball on certain holes.  So sometimes I will play with a yellow ball.

White, also use orange on par 5s or when the hole is out of sight and yes, a light pink. The light pink were my Mom’s.  I use these in her honor.

Our driving range sits between #1 fairway and #18 fairway.  Currently we have white range balls.  They changed from yellow balls about a month ago.  On #1 and #18 I am not using yellow balls.  If range balls go back to yellow, I will switch to white.  

Generally, whatever color ball I tee off with on #1 is what I play for the entire round, when playing at home.  In my tournament leagues, I normally play the e12 ball is sort of a mustard color.  No one else in the league plays that color ball.  

Didn't vote as there was no "mixed" option and the "whatever" option seem to imply you don't care...and I do.

    • No rush. His blog post (I'm calling it that, because that's basically what it is) is probably from 2019. It seems to be from before the WHS was official. The first time it appears in the Internet Archive is 2021, though. But, I doubt they're crawling the Pope of Slope site all that often. 🙂 
    • At present all I can say is that this indicates a tremendous body of work. Congratulations. As yet I haven't analysed any of your or Knuth's contentions but superficially I lean your way. I am away for a few days or so so will study your analysis when I get back. But suffice to say - an impressive piece of work.  
    • Day 5 (5 Jun 26) - Played in the Friday men’s shootout, solid day for me with an 80 (39 / 41)….recent work on keeping connected with the arms tightened up the shot dispersion both front to back and left to right.  
    • Threw my last 9 holes into the Shot Pattern App (negative bad) Driving: -3.2, Approach: -0.6, Short: -4.5, Putting: -0.1 Good it matches my post round assessment. My intuition was pretty spot on. I need to get a few range sessions in on the tee shots. Too long, too much right-side bend.  I need to pivot better on my short game shots. Lots of flipping.
