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.

    • 26 Nov 24 -  It was not a record breaking round by any means, but rather a simple walking of the back nine today playing TBWB (two ball-worse ball) where the challenge is to play the worse of the two shots played - could be an errant drive from the woods, a tree knocked ball that is 100 yds farther back down the fairway, a nGIR ball as opposed to a GIR….the goal today was to stay no worse than bogie thru nine.  Managed to achieve that goal - bogied 7 holes with one dbl and one par to counter the dbl.  It’s about staying focused and not letting a bad shot or lie derail, but rather be an opportunity. 
    • Day 208 (26 Nov 24)- Opted to walk 9 today (was the back nine as they had a huge group going off the front) but instead of it being persimmons and blades, I had the regular gamers but made it a TBWB (two ball-worst ball) round.  This really challenges on several fronts - ball striking to be as consistent as possible, course management from non-optimal lies and keeping your head in it as it can be depressing to nail a shot on line-on target and the second rattles the trees right and it’s over 50 yards back and that’s the one you have to play.  The goal was to be no worse than bogie overall (+9).  Finished the round exactly on the number with some solid recoveries, no penalty strokes and only one 3-putt.
