Anyone use colored balls?

Not at the moment. I do plan on digging out the orange balls should I play in the snow, though.

This is good to hear. I always thought that white would stand out most in the fall.

There are some tree leaves at my home course that appear off white when they fall and dry out. Makes it hard to find a white ball, sometimes even on the fairway, if you have a blind shot.

I loved the orange Wilson PS ball that Pate played. I have a real hard time following a white ball. Alas, most of the orange balls today are rocks, but the way I play, I rpobably wouldn't notice.

The right type of coloured ball will make a difference to a lot of players (not all)
plus wouldn't it be great to speed up play through less time looking for lost balls!

The Vision balls are my design and as a three piece have some nice go and with stop.

Cheers,
Wayne.

Wayne,

I visited the website and the balls look great. I'm purchasing a dozen from one of the US distributors to see how they shine in the central Texas sun!

I use Maxfli Noodle ICE every once in a while.

I used the Noodle ICE part much of last season. You should have seen the looks on the faces of my teammates for the Fathers Day Scramble when I pulled out a pink ball on the first tee. The only thing better was the looks on the other 17 teams faces when we won the whole thing in large part to my pink, yellow and orange golf balls. I also won our league championship using it. I switched back to the ProV1, NXT Tour and Juice this season, but still like to play with one every now and then.

Hi Jeep,

I would likely try it out. I initially used the pink ball for the shock factor, but liked the way it played.

I think eventually they will have designer golf balls with stripes, wild colors, zebra design, I am sure the technology is there and besides the ball shape and being able to see the ball in the fairway or rough.

Ping had a 2 half color ball to aid in putting, Nike made the black ball and Paula Creamer won with a pink ball why not colored designer golf balls in the near future.

I personally play a white ball and will play with a pink prov1 when they make one.

Hi Jeep, send me a private note so I can contact you when the prototypes are available.

Hi KS, You are right but with the new DuPont materials and the practical application of
the clear style covers and new paint finishes you have a range of designs that are still
practical to find on the course that are the most interesting to us.

What about a Platinum or Gold finish ProV type of ball, very cool!

Ball looks cool, but not included on SMT site. Where can one find in US?

Hi Keb,

I don't like to do the business stuff on the forum re rules etc,,,

but if they don't mind this time Mike Tait has stock at SMT
and will take your call on this, just say The Boz sent you.

    • I mean, a golfer is trespassing and damaging property. So, golf rules don’t supersede state laws. 😉 Like, if it isn’t marked and is off golf property. The right thing to do is take an unplayable lie or take stroke and distance.  Also, this is a liability for the course. The homeowner could easily say the course is liable for damage done because they knowingly didn't mark their boundaries which allowed golfers to trespass and damage property. 
    • Interestingly enough, if the course (the Committee in Rules terms) doesn't mark the boundaries, there is nothing out of bounds.  I realize that neighboring homeowners would take a dim view of golfers whacking balls from their backyards, but that's what the Definition of Out of Bounds requires. "All areas outside the boundary edge of the course as defined by the Committee."
    • I had two events the past two days. Yesterday I was playing a course blind. Hit it solid. Hit 9/14 fairways, 12/18 greens, 34 putts. Many of those putts were the result of balls that were close-ish to the hole when they landed, but wound up a long way away once they'd finished rolling (backwards mainly). Then today, hit 11/13 fairways, 11/18 greens, 37 putts, and shot 80. 8 over par and it wasn't particularly pretty. My big problem today was my pitching. I was inside 100 yards of the hole and off the green on 9 occasions.  1st - drive to about 75 yards, fanned a 58 degree short and right. On the green, but a good 40 feet away and good two putt from there (so took 3) 2nd - laid up to a bunker and it's narrow past it, so had 165 in, missed it right with an 8 iron. Wet rough, chip from about 5 yards off the green and the club snagged. It got on the green, but only temporarily. Overcorrected a bit on the next one and hit it a bit firm and it rolled out to about 35 feet. Putt didn't break and it ran on a bit and I missed the one back (greens were fast and a little bumpy, which didn't help, but doesn't excuse either). (took 5 to get down from close to the green) 4th - had about 95 from the right rough, hit it on the green and two putts (3) 5th - 90 from the fairway, tugged it and it got a firm bounce, chipped on and hit what I thought was a decent chip, but it ran out down the hill and two putts from 20 feet (4) 7th - 65 from the fairway, significant upslope and hit it a bit hard, ran long left against the collar. Tried to blade a PW, but it got under a bit so didn't advance it anything like far enough. Made a good two putt from there (4) 11th - 63 from the fairway, hit a squirrelly pitch on the green and two putts (3) 12th - 75 from the semi-rough, caught it a bit clean and it wound up on the back edge. Putting down a tier and it ran 8 feet past (that was actually a really good putt and couldn't have done any better I don't think) and missed that (4) 13th - 55 from the fairway, overcorrected and hit the big ball before the small ball. Then made a stellar up and down from 25 yards short to an elevated green with a putter (3) 15th - down in three from a greenside bunker (3) That was it. The other 9 holes I hit it on the green from outside 100 yards. So on those 9 occasions, I took 32 shots to get in the hole. 3.56 average. Terrible. Reason I'm posting this in here is to see if anyone has any suggestions for how to work on my contact with pitch shots. I don't have access to a grass range. Only mats and it's easy off a mat. Partly I think my problem is I've hit it off mats so much this winter that I've lost my judgement on where the ball is versus the ground because of the leeway granted. Open to ideas. I also suspect that under pressure I stand a bit closer to it and then get steep and hit down on it and it puts me in a bad place, but I can't seem to get myself to not do that.
