Remember the bright orange and yellow golf balls that appeared on greens everywhere in the 80's before the trend faded back to white? Well they are back and joining them on well-groomed greens everywhere are balls in a variety of wild hues including pink, blue, and raspberry as well as several clear or pearlescent finishes.
Brightly colored balls may be easier to see from a distance (or in my case stand out more when landing in tall grass) I think that their growing popularity is more about adding a bit of fun to the game.
Besides for some of us having our golf balls coordinate with our golf ensemble is a much easier way to look good on the course than actually having to hit the ball well ;-)
