I'm also using the Callaway in yellow right now. The Hex Chrome + in tour yellow. I used to HATE the idea of a yellow ball, but it's actually growing on me.

I am playing yellow Callaway Hex Pro from Costco.  It makes things alot easier as long as everyone does not play them.

I also like walking up to the green and knowing which ball is mine without looking.

Golf balls are white.  Tennis balls are yellow, or white if played on grass.   Pool table felt is green.

Don't mess with the nature of things......

Tennis balls used to be white. Period. They changed to yellow. Why? Easier to see.

Balata balls used to be off-white at best, especially after they sat in the bag for a month. Not sure what color they were before balata, but they weren't the stark raving white we have now.

Embrace the change!

Not all shades of yellow in golf balls are the same.

The shade of yellow in Titleist NXT Tour S is amazing. It's a light shade that seems to glow when you see your ball lying on the fairway.

However, I play Srixon Q Star in white because the yellow option is a darker yellow with a touch of green that for me makes it harder to see. If they made the Q Star in a lighter shade of yellow I would use it.

totally - so many different shades in the yellow balls today.        Agree the Titleist DT Solo or NXT are the brightest, but the Noodle Distance yellow at half the price has the same microscopic metalflake in the cover which makes them so glowy & visible

Yellow Srixon Q-star. Although it is not the most visible ball playing into the sun in the morning.

Playing the hex Chrome in yellow to finish off the dozen. Decent enough ball, but I miss my tour iZ's or whatever they were from a few years ago. But I DO like the yellow, it is easier to pickup in the air, especially with the sunglasses that I have (or had, I lost them last weekend...arrrgghhh).

I play a lot in early morning when grass is covered in dew.  In the sunshine, the grass gets a silvery appearance making white golf balls much harder to see..for me anyway.  Srixon's yellow is really bright.

Srixon TriSpeed Tours in white, yellow golf balls just seem so..........toylike, it negates the grave importance of everything going on there. I mean, I wear a special glove and special shoes for this, these aren't toys!

    • I kind of like this interpretation especially if you think about it the unplayable rule would probably put you in a better spot.  using back on the line releief.  
    • I did not realize that, I was thinking a more traditional golf club.  
    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.
