Really, do you have a negative (or positive) reaction to yellow balls?

Does it matter if they're a good or bad player?

Who cares what color ball someone plays?  Can they keep pace and do they have any clue about etiquette?  That's what matters more to me, and there is no relationship between those things and ball color.

Doesn't matter in the least........  I never buy colored balls, but will play found ones providing it's a good ball.    if a guy was playing a pink ball, I might think this is strange!!

I have a buddy who used to play a pink ball, wore pink shoes and a pink shirt for club competitions.  He's a low single digit handicapper and is about 6'4".  He just liked to mess with guys heads.

I was thinking about getting these balls. Is that bad? [URL=http://thesandtrap.com/content/type/61/id/115528/] [/URL]

These aren't very good balls. If they were a premium ball, I'd have no problem playing them. :-)

I know of a very good bowler that uses a hello kitty spare ball.  He does this to get reactions.....  His average is around 230.   LOL

I don't have a problem with what color ball the person uses. I use yellow balls myself sometimes. I have even played in cancer charity tournaments where we used those pink balls with a ribbon on them. Good, bad, or indifferent style of play is not problem either. If it gets too bad, I just excuse myself, and let the problem(s) play a head. I am there to play golf , and have fun. :dance:

I was actually hoarding all the hot pink glittery Callaway Solaire balls I'd found over the years to play as a goof one day, but I wound up giving them to my mother when I decided to take her out to play one time last year. Now I have nothing to match my pink polo shirt.

More men should wear pink. It's actually a very flattering color on all complexions. I guarantee if you wear a pink shirt to work you will get a ton of compliments.

Haha, that's the biggest reason I wear them! Positive reinforcement is a heck of a thing

I figure that anyone playing yellow is just trying to copy me.

I play them to keep myself (and fellow competitors) from hitting the wrong ball.

Sounds like Bubba Watson needs to up his game and add a Hello Kitty to that pink driver.

Just to give a serious response, I think as a novice it would be useful for me to use colored balls rather than white. I have only ever hit white balls, but thinking about it, seems that neon yellow or orange might be a better choice.

Hahahaha....too funny.    Not to mention the jackass playing an adjacent hole "Mistakenly" playing YOUR BALL!   In my experience, a distinctive mark is what you need!!   Nobody steals my balls anymore..............in fact, club members go out of their way to return my lost balls!!  They don't want to keep them.

My mark...........LOL

My balls are always returned, with a story!!    It goes like this....." Why did you it into the ditch on #2?" ....or something like that!!........LOL

Are you being blue when talking about the pink?

You know, I actually read an article a while back about why pink became the "girl" color, and apparently females see a broader range of colors than males do, and pink, being more subtle, is universally appealing for females. Nevertheless, whatever the case, it is a very flattering color. And it's just silly if men avoid the color. Especially single men. Ladies will notice it.

I have at least one pink shirt. I think I need a Hawaiian pink shirt now! I got a purple one for my birthday.

Not at all!  I got these as a present and have played them for fun.  They're not very good balls though.

That being said, yellow balls are particularly hard to find when there are dandelions blooming.
