In the kids' world, probably. In the slightly more grown up world, not so much. If Ricky attracts a younger audience, great.

If you first look like a traffic cone, I don't believe using an orange ball would make a whole lot of difference.

It's kinda fun though, the only difference between Ricky and Gary Player is the color.

Wearing all orange is a bit louder though.



Yes, the only difference between Rickie Fowler and Gary Player is orange versus black.

You don't think that the fact that he is using one might give you a clue?

Were you expecting someone to say. "No. Balls have to be white."?

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

Player wore black to "absorb the energy of the sun".

Fowler wears orange because it's a lucrative marketing ploy. Not quite the same.

Yeah, that smiley was meant to tell it was a joke. :-P (this is not a joke) [quote name="Shorty" url="/t/56183/pros-clarify/18#post_686831"] Player wore black to "absorb the energy of the sun".

Perhaps a combination.

Gary Player was (and is) a very kooky guy. And I mean that in a nice way. He had and has some very odd beliefs.

Yeah I know, but some don't. Did you check that list? He put his senior skins games on there too.

    • Best drive I've ever hit: I will not be answering any questions about the rest of the hole. Or the round, for that matter.
    • I tried hybrids way back when TaylorMade introduced the copper orange Firesole Rescue, the clubhead having been made of titanium which was still relatively new even in drivers back then. I couldn't hit it well at all, and while the success of hybrids suggests that the modern ones must be quite good,  I'm perfectly happy with the 5, 7, and 9-woods.  Early ones of mine were Top Flite Intimidator 400s made by Spalding... and also made of titanium, now that I think of it.  I still have them in my basement. I do bag a driving iron, but it's a one-trick-pony that never sees fairway use.    
    • The last time I played Maxfli balls, Dunlop was still making them. How long ago was that? Mostly, though, I used to play Top Flites (original 336 dimple model) when Spalding was still making them. Now I play the Pro V1x. Last time that I ordered some, Titleist was still making them. Let's see how long that lasts.
    • Once, on a course in Middleton, Massachusetts that I used to love but has since closed down,  I hit the wrong half of a huge, UK style double green.  Then I made the hundred foot putt.  Tough to  forget that one.
    • No. But if I can still play next year, I'll almost certainly be even worse. That's the reality of not being young.🙁
