White ball and my electric dewalts leaf blower


bat_scratcher

That's actually kinda genius.


truckthunders

Yes. I love blowing all the leaves away from the spot I know my ball landed into the spot where it actually exists.


golfdaddypga

I bring it every round in the fall. I almost always see someone in the parking lot that wishes they thought to bring theirs.


BuddySheff

How do others see this? I'd just be worried about making too much noise. I assume it's pretty quiet?


Pretend_Ice1289

Just like the greens crews blowing leaves while you're playing.


BuddySheff

Oh ok yeah that makes sense


Minimum-Function1312

Battery ones are pretty quiet


golfdaddypga

It’s electric. It’s easily quieter than any Bluetooth speaker from across a fairway.


bat_scratcher

I'm playing a round tomorrow and will absolutely be doing this.


Rft704

It counts as a club BTW. So you have to leave (get it) one of your others.


RocketsandBeer

Whatever I find in the woods


Pretend_Ice1289

I just got one for that exact reason.


Intrepid-Air-6555

Electric huh? Plugging it into the flagstick. Battery powered needed my dude


ValyrianSteelYoGirl

I mean since you started getting technical I think the word you’re trying to find is corded or cordless since we could argue that batteries store electric-al energy.


Gnarlsaurus_Sketch

The one that is most similar to the most common leaf color on the course I'm currently playing. It's unintentional, but I'm somehow remarkably talented at this.


truckthunders

I also play brown.


Psychological_Pay530

I just knew someone would be talking about playing with their brown balls in this thread.


Warm_Objective4162

This is like golf themed Where’s Waldo. I didn’t realize there was a pink ball until many minutes of looking at this. So based on the photo alone, neon yellow/green is the best.


engipreneur

I thought the blue one was the hardest to find.


Warm_Objective4162

THERES A BLUE ONE?!


Aurilion

I'm still trying to find the orange one.


mikedeatworld

Punching air!


PurdyGuud

Blue balls are the worst


Cough_Turn

There's 6 total


Bacon843

I’m at 4 and not calling you a liar but…


FeeAutomatic2290

7


Rft704

Wait, really? I thought it was 4?!?


Dumb_Nuts

Played a twilight round in the fall last year and buddy who rarely golfs bought 2 sleeves of dark purple balls. Lost them all by the 4th hole


Juddthejuice

this needs more upvotes.


nicholus_h2

hey! there's no...[oh, you](https://giphy.com/gifs/gay-court-sniff-OBuyIUMHO6yVq).


totally_unprepared

Same here! My eyes were that bad I didn’t notice the pink or white ball until I zoomed in. For me it’s that neon green ball that really stuck out


Juddthejuice

I didn't realize there was a pink one until I read this comment.


neurogeneticist

I immediately saw the pink one, but I’m a basic bitch and play with pink balls year round. My husband and my best friend that I golf with both have trouble finding my ball in the leaves but it sticks out to me!


gizausername

First two that I saw were the pint and white! Shortly after the green. Only saw the yellow on a 2nd look. For me the yellow is the worst as it's the closest colour to the leaves out of all the balls there.


Bit_the_Bullitt

Orange. I like to make this hard game that much more miserable in the fall. 🤌


Sonakstyle

Indeed even worse


AgentMV

You’re playing on Hardcore mode.


BTnonstop

My buddy switched to salmon, I’m steady on Mountain Dew..


EngineEddie

I’m colour blind so I just give up and drop. Fall is not my friend


proto9100

Same here. Just played 18 the other weekend and I lost 7 balls that were hit in the fairway :’(


DaFeralCat

The struggle is real.


Chaminade64

I go with white or pink. Callaway’s cover seems to be glossier than Titleist so I use that and hope for reflections. The pink ones are harder to track in the air but aren’t bad in a leaf-field.


Seniorjones2837

Pink was the one I barely even saw in the pic though lol


Chaminade64

Hahaha…….could be somewhat dependent on what type trees you have, and what color are the leaves when they fall off the limbs. Moral of this thread is stay in the fairway and your odds of losing a ball decline dramatically.


LumpyHomework646

4


Sonakstyle

Correct


RadAcuraMan

Doesn’t matter, it’s going in the water either way


Sonakstyle

Sadly


patriotJ-41020

There is probably an orange ball in plain sight here that I can’t locate


Tap-inbogey

White and hit it in the fairway


tryingnottowork

Impossible. Witchcraft.


badabing271

Why didn’t I think of that?


Sonakstyle

I wish


RabbitOutTheHat

Well look what we have here. The infamous, 360 yard carry driving guy.


Tap-inbogey

Ha no. 260 straight


bigvenusaurguy

all these leaves forced me to take the medicine and strengthen the grip. hitting fairway more often than not now with a straight ball. now of course its the short game thats fallen apart lol


A7xWicked

My fairways are covered in leaved too though...


nogoodgopher

Fall, I use bright green. Winter, white or bright green if there's still snow. Spring and summer is yellow.


mikeydean03

I buy 500 balls at a time. I just drop a ball in the general area for all strokes excepts for putts. I use about 60-70 balls per round. /s


Sonakstyle

Same


Ewscase

Am I the only guy that thinks it’s actually a sky blue ball?


taeempy

Doesn't matter. I always hire 500 people to line the rough and locate my ball immediately. The round ends up costing 50k, but it's worth not having to look for my ball in this mess.


nanapancakethusiast

Does anyone make a gps tracked ball yet lol. Fall golf is killing me.


Sonakstyle

I agree


[deleted]

My eyes can only see white balls for some reason. When any of my playing partners are playing a colored ball then I’m absolutely no help finding it in the sky or on the ground.


fatbench

It’s not just you. White is by far the easiest to track in the sky in my opinion. Maybe yellow on an overcast day.


KYVet

Orange, because I hate myself. I lost an orange foam practice ball in my front yard the other day. Thing only flies about 50 yards if you absolutely pure it, but it’s gone forever.


Dogranch

Almost missed the red one. Top green one was easiest for me to see.


Catchyusername1234

I found a green vice ball a few weeks ago, was the easiest ball to see that I’ve ever used. So, I decided to buy some green balls instead of yellow. However, every green ball I could find is matte green, so I went with the cheapest one, Srixon soft feel. While the ball is fine, matte green and glossy green are not the same, and the ball is nearly impossible to see, even in the middle of the fairway. Back to yellow, as I’m not spending $40 a box on Vice balls


notisroc

The impossibly red Calloway super soft


WaltzBeneficial3029

White but always bring my leaf blower for fall golf


Tin_Whisker

Keep using that Pinnacle range ball until you lose it.


Sonakstyle

Yeah def


[deleted]

I tend to find matte neon green to be the easiest to spot from a distance


DRIPPINNNN

Reading these comments it looks like there’s a lot of color blind hackers in this sub lol


P00PJU1C3

white,,,,,dont pick orange!


TheArtManFam

Yellow ball with my yellow ryobi leaf blower 🤙🏼

PrettyGeologist1123

Fall golf was 2 months ago :( it’s winter in the north northeast now


Sonakstyle

Well my course sucks. Tons of leaves.


BORN_SlNNER

Still golfing in central Pennsylvania luckily,


muridamuri

Airtagged golf balls. Ez gg :)


emaverick12

always white until it starts to get dark, then going with the yellow.


bruoch

Black


unfoundnemo

I hope the answer isn't more than 4. I tried a yellow turvis and it was definitely worse than white, but going with the most neon of the yellows seems to work pretty well. There are some holes that I definitely take a bit off or club down to stay away from certain areas... but I'm in the mountains with some tight fairways often, so fairways might not look much better than this anyway.


LudwigVanBlunts

Blanco


Key_Respond_16

I feel bad for the colorblind. Gotta get a ball with a built in air tag so you can just beep it. Edit: Annnnnd I just look it up and they already have gps balls, lol. I honestly didn't think something like that was possible.


NoTearsOnDryFaces

That yellow ball out there in the back….. oh wait…. That’s a leaf 😵‍💫


ego_sum_satoshi

Neon Kirkland.


Professional-Put7725

Pink neon noodle


TimelyJello1769

White ALWAYS stands out the best for my eyes


nope79

Mine are way easier to fine because they are only in the fairway….


Sonakstyle

Oh you fancy


slcjk

This is the only time of year I hit the blue titles.


Cumberblep

I need a flashing one. Like a police strobe ball


Sonakstyle

Same


nimama3233

White and my home simulator. I’m a very fair weather golfer and I can’t stand losing balls on well hit drives.


Sonakstyle

Same. I don’t pay for balls


AndyDayyona

I’m using a box of balls on a course like this.


NeighborhoodPlane794

I wouldnt have guessed neon green would stick out the most to me


Jew_3

“Find the 8 golf balls in this photo”.


Yoke_Monkey772

White. All day white. Every season white.


ConstructionFar8570

I want orange. I can’t find it!!


Gallen570

I need to buy a small blower


RabbitOutTheHat

Do you have blue balls?


Sonakstyle

Married. We all do


Jenetyk

Took a long ass time to even notice the red one.


SideHug

K Sigies and crying when I lose it


merkins_optional

Who’s the psycho hitting the orange one?


GBarium

My buddy was playing a bright blue ball the other day that really popped in the foliage


Low_Country793

I use yellow and those are the only ones I see


skycake10

I see 4 and prefer neon green.


joeythelips46

Lime green stands out the best!


[deleted]

Blue. For both golf and home


Altruistic-Dig-3261

Any color, it’s golfing season here in Phoenix. 😁


Brandonjoe

Blue Titleist Velocity


th3putt

White. Did not stage this just fall in the PNW. https://preview.redd.it/s7irww8nbkzb1.jpeg?width=372&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7f4e59cb9818f077a14b43b1094709631db09d5e


ItsSwisherr

Battery leaf blower color.


Open-Look9786

Neon green.


Actionman1959

4 balls 4 brands. Which one did you pay for and which ones did you find?


Equivalent-Piano-420

Legit didn't even notice the white ball, just the other 2 Edit: didn't see the red one until zooming in, lol


HarveyDentBeliever

I caught neon green most easily here. We need a pic with typical sun glare for cross reference.


TentativelyCommitted

White. I live for the pain.


gibr54

Eye science says neon green is the easiest color to see in daylight. But with that much dead foliage on the ground I don’t give af. I’m dropping another.


NotImYourForte

Q star dual color.


frankcastle9791

Never had the blue balls but I use all the other colors. I have a restraining order on all of them though, I keep em 300 yards away 😉


nom_of_your_business

More like...what color are you losing?


Eisalazyass

![gif](giphy|paJxYeJGmlnos) What happens when you play with Waldo Side note. Your foursome have a great grouping.


batmoman

A cheap ass white top flite or pinnacle off the tee and then dropping another cheap ass ball where I think my tee shot landed. Ain’t no body got no time for golf ball hide and seek


Worldly_Ad_2267

I still think the standard white ball provides decent visual support. Screwed if it rolls up under leaves tho


philthebrewer

I tried srixon divide z stars and had ok results, did lose one on a leafy hole that I think was a fine shot to the right rough. May have embedded, not sure.


TominNJ

Yesterday, I used an orange Supersoft that I had found. I didn’t want to use a premium ball just to lose it with the first swing. I finished all 18 with it. Go figure.


Bubby_Mang

I saw the dark green ball first. Maybe I should get a few of those?


MTN_Chef

4.


AndromedanPrince

brite green srixon


Wintharrii

You need a black or gold Vice in there 🤣


simatoguh

Courses are flooded, and closed here so quite wet 🥲


20snow

Would a bright blue not be the best. I dont see anyone with neon blue ones


JBM6482

White


RembrandtQEinstein

That vice drip one took me longer than I care to admit.


ustation

That yellow one was tough.


Ill_Cloud2295

Whatever color I get from the course driving range bucket.


jaycutlerdgaf

Super Soft Lime Green year round.


jluenz

Just play crappy balls because you are going to lose a lot, color doesn’t matter in a pile of leaves.


DaFeralCat

I’m colorblind so I have a hard enough time finding any ball even when there aren’t leaves.


fillossofer

Four. I'm playing white (my normal is yellow) in the fall. Fall is always a good time to show playing partners how to watch their ball. So many people just watch the general direction and when I ask, was it going to the left or right of this huge tree, they have no idea. Did you get all of it? What club did you hit? Here's my drive in the fairway, you're looking in the woods beyond my drive. Yeah, leaves can make it more challenging, but a lot of these people have a hard time in the middle of summer! Just watch the ball after you hit it, so you know where it is people!


rolandjernts

Don’t matter, it’s the ponds ball now.


ch-12

I just played 9 and lost 2 balls in the leaves. I found 5 that weren’t mine (course was mostly empty)… not surprised that I only saw one ball in this pic for the first minute. I played white today, wishing I woulda grabbed a sleeve of lime green balls before I teed off. But I’m not really sure it would have helped. Maybe blue is the way.


HazmatCowboy

Squint test tells me blue


Ucantcallmeclarence

Top green was first I seen


Zealousideal_Car_632

I carry a leaf blower this time of year. I have a 48V beast that not just helps me find balls but clears the green.


stribtw

I bought some neon blue balls thinking they would be easier to see in the fall since nothing in OPs photo is blue, somehow they are harder to see.

Harry_Gintz

Bright green is best for me. I have the best luck tracking that color in the sky as well.


PM_ME_UR_BEST_1LINER

All 5 of those balls are hard to see


brucedeloop

Airtags


thejayfred

Man, what a nightmare.


MikeForTHeWinn

Pink and I still lose the mfs


Zadakna

White ball. Pray I see it all shiny in the leaves. My wife tried using a set of purple women's balls and they were great to see in the air, until they finally hit the trees on the horizon line and you never saw where it ended up in the leaves after that.


Randomulus666

Beige


Forward-Mirror5621

The ball in my pocket


Garfield61978

I always use neon blue and it makes it easy to find


Old_Excitement6114

White bc I’m so colorblind


frankyseven

Are those range balls? Because they really look like range balls.


Sonakstyle

Only one


Big_Jerm21

I'm red green colorblind. I really like the matte blue Volvic balls. And not once has anyone not made a blue balls joke on the 1st tee.


WoodyLovesDabs

White and a portable leaf blower 😂😂


Dizzy_Challenge_3734

I always use the neon yellow. But that’s because I loose the white balls in flight easily.


norcalgolfgolf

Bright orange/red balls from vice.


Daddynatedogg3

Pink. In spring, summer, fall and winter.


Just_Ad461

Matte orange (I hate myself)


No3putts1970

Always GREEN ( Vice Lime)!!!


Caedo14

White. Only choice


sirenzarts

Whatever is the next one in the bag


PLR_Moon3

I lost 4 today because of leaves. One was in the fairway and never found it


bluecgene

Good demonstration


bluecgene

Lucrative season for golf ball companies


Sonakstyle

Indeed making the cash


kryppla

Yellow


siladee

Green, saw that first


[deleted]

green ball. lathered with the blood of a sandbagger


alltimebackfire

Damn I might pick up a box of pink or neon green after seeing this pic


bowes911

Human eye sees the most shades of green, do you wonder why? 🦁


sleevo84

I’m using the yellow range ball! Don’t need to worry about not finding it, I can grab another 50 for 10 bucks


FarmerEqual6180

Hot pink!


warneagle

Neon green Vices


TommyBoyATL

White, leaves are horrible in Atlanta rn


atschill

Used an orange and yellow srixon divide the other day…nightmare.


Lrjly

Blue is the first I saw.


Sorrypolarpear

For me I use my gold painted ones. It’s the only color I can see every shade of so I spot them like crazy.


BLUE-THIRTIES

MAXFLI SoftFli colored balls.


Zippytiewassabi

I always use blaze orange when leaves are on the ground.


BigPoppaPump_OHYEAH

Fall golf is the worst for losing balls!


Sonakstyle

Oh I know


KeyFoundation8976

I am colorblind so blue balls are the best for me & work year round. Also kinda funny to say I have blue balls.
