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.

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.

Not the least of which was being the first pro to really embrace working with weights. That exercise would explain those calf muscles!

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

    • Day 36: back to some mirror work tonight. Need a bit more forearm roll in my feels to help with the shallowing. 
    • _sigh_ so close to red text.  Went away for three days, but didn't do a practice morning-of-departure (Friday) nor evening-of-return (Sunday), so I had three misses, back to day one. Day 1, May 4 2026.  At home today, spent nearly an hour in my practice room, hitting about three dozen practice balls, primarily with my 6-iron.
    • Day 254 5-4 Arms off chest in backswing and downswing. Short swing, pause and then hit.  Hit foam balls. Keeping arching of wrist a focus as well. 
    • I would think of it in terms of time. The time it takes to get the arm angle into a good position to deliver the club with proper shaft lean. Another component is rotation, but that is also a matter of timing. It relates to how the body stalls to give the golfer time to hit the ball. If you have to get 80+ degrees out of that right elbow in one third of a second versus 50 degrees in the same time then you have to steal time from somewhere. It is usually body rotation. That does not help with shaft lean.  I agree in that amateurs tend to make the swing more complicated than pro golfers. 
    • I haven't been able to practice like I wanted and won't for the next week.  1. The weather sucks in Ohio this year. I have been mostly inside hitting foam balls. Just kind of my basic stuff.  2. I woke up last Saturday with a left side rib muscle on fire. If I turned or leaned a certain way it would spasm that almost buckled my knees. I have been taking a break to let that settle. I don't want to get a long term injury. I think I pinched a nerve or just aggravated a muscles.   3. I am going on a mini-vacation to Florida (screw you Ohio weather) with a friend, and rolling that into a work conference I have next week. I will be with out my clubs for a week.  I will be back next in two Fridays to hit the ground running with some warmer temps and better weather in Ohio, hopefully. I would really like to get more out on the course and the range.
