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.

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.

    • Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip. 
    • Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)
    • Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
