What do you really think when you see a guy playing yellow balls?

I'm cool with you wearing pink but dude, you can't say that you're wearing lavender. It's purple if you want to retain your man-card.

I wear LAVENDER and loafers into a warehouse full of Teamsters. Do you honestly think I have a problem retaining my "man card"? I'm not so sure being specific negates ones masculinity. But at 6'2 and 225 pounds I've never questioned my own :)

You sure it's not lilac? ;)

C'mon man, I just said that I wear loafers. Don't you think I know the difference between lavender and lilac?

Buddy of mine yesterday was playing the new Yellow Srixon for about 6 holes.  Then he switched back to a white Titleist.

I did this today, only because I wore out the Srixon (it was a "Soft Feel").

I have been using these for a while now.  I had played a ProV1 for years beforehand.  Love it and the price is much better.  Also, I don't usually have to worry which one is mine when we hit blind shots at our club.

I don't mind different colors. I usually get white but I'm seriously thinking about getting pink next time. I never see other men play it and it prevents people who sliced into your Fairway from playing your ball.

Never even thought of it as an issue. I personally throw a yellow ball in once in a while to mix it up. If ProV1's had yellow or orange I'd be smacking those around all day.

Sales of ProV1 may go down ...

Seriously, I posted earlier in this thread of a golfer I was paired up with once.   He gave me grief over it after our round was over and I never met the guy before.    I think there are still those who look down on golfers who play color balls.  Good to see none of the TST members mind.

So, I have these three yellow balls I found on the course. Every time I hit into another fairway everyone on the other party assumes it belongs to their partners because who in their right minds would use a yellow ball?

Honestly, who the hell cares if it's yellow? If someone was to approach me over this I'm pretty sure I'd leave with a criminal record. Too many stuck up farts in golf sometimes.

I played a game with a financial professional recently who actually played one (Srixon?). I was taken back a bit to be honest. He was a very solid player and I knew such to even be in our game. Well he was cordial, very good and shot 78. bottom line, it's a color.

Saw Will Wilcox playing a yellow ball last week at Valspar.. not sure what kind of ball it was though.

In my experience it's usually an old guy who hates losing balls and finds them easier to see.  Personally I think they're distracting to hit so I throw them in my junk found-ball bag and give them to my dad or brother.

I personally prefer white balls but don't really care what anyone else plays.  I certainly wouldn't give anyone crap for playing a colored ball.  It does seems like the guys that play yellow balls tend to be older and have trouble seeing the ball.

Haha, I nearly said that if you listened only to the fellas we'd all be wearing camo! Not that there is anything wrong with camo. I'm not ashamed at all to admit that my Easter dress is going to be made from pink Realtree. Does that make me a redneck? But here is a question related to colored balls. What do you really think when you see a grown man dressing like Ricky Fowler?

I don't mind it, bright colors keep it fun. At least he doesn't dress like he's at a funeral like Phil. LOL

I just bought a ton of orange balls to see them better. I suck though so I need to see all of the 'off the fairway' shots I hit. If people think I am not good because I have high visibility balls they are correct haha. I was using yellow but am finding that in the sun I cannot find them. As I said earlier though, If I was really good I would use blue, pink, black, etc just for kicks.

I usually think, "Hey, there's my ball", because I play yellow balls often. I started playing them in my evening rounds after work, because I was loosing balls due to the sun setting and blinding me. Made a huge difference in that regards. Then, I started playing them if it was foggy in the morning, and sometime just because I felt like it. Overall, I do prefer white balls, but there's no denying that yellow are much easier to spot when visibility is an issue.
