Kenny B Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Yesterday it was 71º sunny and no wind; played in polo for the first time this year. I thought I would celebrate by playing a WHITE PV1x. Played like crap!! Shot 44/44... you can add that up!! Today I froze my ass off; 50º with wind 25-35mph with higher gusts on the back nine. Played a YELLOW Titleist Tour Soft; shot 43/38 for 81. Even birdied the hole I didn't birdie all last year. Maybe there is something to this Yellow ball thing... but probably not.

The Tour Soft has been my winter ball, but when it got warm on Saturday, I thought that maybe the Yellow Tour Soft would just be too soft. The PV1x has a little more distance, and maybe the Tour Soft just played better today in the cooler air and high wind. It also could have been that today I had 4 layers of clothes... my standard for cold weather, and I just felt "normal" and I'm not used to playing in just a polo yet. So... more "testing" is needed. cksurfdude, sirchunksalot, JohnSmalls and 3 others 6 Quote “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichL85 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 On 3/13/2022 at 12:42 PM, Yellow Ball said: When you mess with the bull you get the horns! Bear with me on this. @RichL85 had a kind of rough day. I’m not going into details but just take it for what it was. He played like crap. The very next day he switched over to a Yellow Ball. His irons were better except for maybe a few chips and putts that could have been sharper. Then hits a marvelous shot into the green on number #11 which was a par 3 to within 2 feet and makes the putt. Then he writes in his post and I quote, “I’m not sure if this guy is related to @Yellow Ball but those things cooperated much better than the balls I used yesterday” Nice Bird on #11 by the way! Well I’m glad the yellow balls worked out for you. There has been a trend recently that quite a few in the MGS community have been switching over. I’m just a trend setter I guess! So here is where the bull gets the horns. Ole @Shapotomous chimes in and states “@Yellow Ball and “cooperation” are not used in the same sentence! So here it comes, his very next post. “I. Played. Horribly. I don’t know where my swing went yesterday.” He couldn’t judge the wind. Played army golf, Left, Right, L, R. then on to Short, Long, S, L and a combination of the two. It actually put a smile on my face knowing that karma is still alive and well. So you pick on a little YB who winds up giving you the horns. Next time be nice. Believe it or not there are plenty of people who just love playing with Yellow Balls! Sometimes I don't mind playing with them either! He's not wrong. My first round was pretty terrible overall. Switched to the yellow ball for the second day and it was a better experience. I'm going to give @Yellow Ballcredit for that. I actually used to use yellow pretty often back when I was playing before my long break. Easier for me to see and track. Possibly logical, possibly in my head, but that's a dangerous place to be. The less things I can worry about, the better off my day goes. I'll be stocking up on yellow once I pick a ball model for the year. cnosil, Yellow Ball, cksurfdude and 5 others 7 1 Quote Driver: PXG 0811XF Gen 4 w/ Fujikura Motore X F3 6- 3 Wood: PXG 0341XF Gen 4 w/ Mitsubishi Diamana S+ 70g Hybrids: 19 and 22 degree PXG 0317XF Gen 4 w/ Project X Evenflow Riptide 80g Irons: 5-PW PXG 0311P Gen 4 w/ KBS Tour 120 Wedges: Indi 50 FLX, 54 FLX, 58 ATK w/ KBS Wedge 610 (Official Review) Putter: Battle Ready Blackjack, 36.5”, Double Bend neck Spornia SPG-7 hitting net review 2023 Titleist White Box ProV1 review Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Yellow Ball Posted April 18, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 18, 2022 Yellow Ball has been following @Jerry B and his son Owen around a bit. They are new to the game and I really won’t pick on them much. Well for now anyway. But for anyone following along in his posts you can see that in Jerry’s own words they have a problem lately with “playing like garbage”. I will give them credit they are getting out there regardless of the weather conditions, such as being cold, wet, windy, and even some snow on the ground. Jerry even forgot his golf shoes and carried on like a true hard core golfer one round. Bet he won’t do that again! Jerry’s already in on the birdie juice train. Note to Jerry, the better you get, the more juice you could have. At least now I gave you a goal. With yearly memberships in hand this dynamic duo is hitting the links with a passion to improve. So in my own special way I think it is time for me to jump in and help. At my own expense I arranged a special pick up at Jerry’s place to help him and his son with their game. I had someone take out the garbage for them. So with the weather starting to improve so should your games. Welcome to the MGS Forum and the wonderful, painful, stress inducing, challenging, game of golf.

Popular Post Yellow Ball Posted June 7, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 7, 2022 An interview with Yellow Ball MGS. What brought you to My Golf Spy? YB. I was born into golf and I found that this site gave honest reviews and the people really care. Not just the staff but the members as well. It was refreshing to be accepted. Sometimes I’m a little harsh. You know, the older you get the less of a filter you have! MGS. Can you explain why your handicap is stated as ‘Lots”? YB. Well that’s an easy one. I’m only a ball as you well know. So when I’m in play it can be with anyone. My handicap can be 35 today and scratch tomorrow. I tried to establish my own but swinging a club to hit myself just didn’t work out very well. So I have to live with the strengths and weaknesses of whoever puts me in play. Hopefully @chisag doesn’t put me in play in the summer months in AZ again. I don’t do Hell well! MGS. Can you tell us where you are from? YB. A ball factory moron. Sorry the filter needs adjustment. A ball factory. MGS. I guess I wasn’t clear. I meant where you currently reside. YB. Sorry I can’t hear you. I have no ears. MGS. So, I take it that you don’t want to disclose you home town? YB. Duhhh MGS. What do you enjoy about the game of golf from your perspective? YB. Well of course it would be from my perspective. You’re asking me aren’t you? Well since I am played by many different people, I have done some amazing things. I can make a right or left hand turn in mid-air without a motor or anything. Not many can say that except for a few birds. Speaking of birds I was picked up by an eagle and brought to her nest for a visit during a spy outing. I’ve experienced every type of water, sand, and grass type in the USA, and have seen so many different animals. By the way, I am sorry about the alligator, but he swallowed me. I had no choice but to eat my way out! RIP my prehistoric friend! I have made every score imaginable either on a hole or an entire round. From snowmen plus to eagles and from under par rounds to triple digits. I’m still waiting to be in play for a YB albatross. I’ve even had a few holes in one. I have been fortunate to have played all over the United States. I have seen some beautiful courses and a few cow pastures/ dirt tracks along the way. But that’s golf for ya. Not many have experienced all that I have. I am blessed and this is part of why I love the game. Another bit of great enjoyment are the people I meet. Granted some are not happy to see me, but that’s usually because I’m in their fairway and not mine. MGS. What don't you enjoy about the game of golf. YB. Other than everyone hitting the crap out of me. I get it, that's my role in the game and I have come to accept it. MGS. Do you enjoy the driving range or just course play? YB, I only enjoy course play. Those ball picking machines at the range are a little rough on me. But I will say that I get to see a lot of relatives at the range. But having celebrity status has its drawbacks. Every other YB out there wants an autograph, want’s to borrow some money, or go with me on trips. Course play is so much better for me. It’s just me and you. MGS. You mentioned celebrity status. Would you care to elaborate? YB, I was always in the background as a kid. You know, your average range ball kind of kid. One day I had enough. I saved up some money and as soon as someone hit me over the fence on the driving range I rolled away into the sunset. I managed to get a makeover. Well once the closet door opened so to speak, I was out of my shell. It all started with MGS then the word got out. Next thing you know I was offered a book deal, someone wanted to be my agent, Amanda Balionis gave me a tour of one of the tour vans, Ellen Degeneres had me on her talk show. Some moron threw me at a coach at a football game and I was all over the news. Frankly it got a little overwhelming. I even saw shirts in a golf shop that said “Play Yellow”. So lately I was kind of just skulking in the background and chiming in once in a while. I’m trying to get back to just being me. You know, the ball in play on the course. And of course giving you crap when you deserve it. MGS. In closing, what message would you like to give the spy’s reading this interview? YB. Golf is not an easy sport. Be patient, take some lessons, make sure your clubs fit you, and be courteous to others on the course. Fix your divots in the fairway, rake the bunker after your sand shot, and fix your pitch marks on the green. But most importantly keep me out of the dam water! YB. Peace out my brothers and sisters! Hope you see me in the bottom of the cup in ONE some time soon. cksurfdude, MyWifesSwingCoach, sirchunksalot and 8 others 3 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully @chisag doesn’t put me in play in the summer months in AZ again. I don’t do Hell well! MGS. Can you tell us where you are from? YB. A ball factory moron. Sorry the filter needs adjustment. A ball factory. MGS. I guess I wasn’t clear. I meant where you currently reside. YB. Sorry I can’t hear you. I have no ears. MGS. So, I take it that you don’t want to disclose you home town? YB. Duhhh MGS. What do you enjoy about the game of golf from your perspective? YB. Well of course it would be from my perspective. You’re asking me aren’t you? Well since I am played by many different people, I have done some amazing things. I can make a right or left hand turn in mid-air without a motor or anything. Not many can say that except for a few birds. Speaking of birds I was picked up by an eagle and brought to her nest for a visit during a spy outing. I’ve experienced every type of water, sand, and grass type in the USA, and have seen so many different animals. By the way, I am sorry about the alligator, but he swallowed me. I had no choice but to eat my way out! RIP my prehistoric friend! I have made every score imaginable either on a hole or an entire round. From snowmen plus to eagles and from under par rounds to triple digits. I’m still waiting to be in play for a YB albatross. I’ve even had a few holes in one. I have been fortunate to have played all over the United States. I have seen some beautiful courses and a few cow pastures/ dirt tracks along the way. But that’s golf for ya. Not many have experienced all that I have. I am blessed and this is part of why I love the game. Another bit of great enjoyment are the people I meet. Granted some are not happy to see me, but that’s usually because I’m in their fairway and not mine. MGS. What don't you enjoy about the game of golf. YB. Other than everyone hitting the crap out of me. I get it, that's my role in the game and I have come to accept it. MGS. Do you enjoy the driving range or just course play? YB, I only enjoy course play. Those ball picking machines at the range are a little rough on me. But I will say that I get to see a lot of relatives at the range. But having celebrity status has its drawbacks. Every other YB out there wants an autograph, want’s to borrow some money, or go with me on trips. Course play is so much better for me. It’s just me and you. MGS. You mentioned celebrity status. Would you care to elaborate? YB, I was always in the background as a kid. You know, your average range ball kind of kid. One day I had enough. I saved up some money and as soon as someone hit me over the fence on the driving range I rolled away into the sunset. I managed to get a makeover. Well once the closet door opened so to speak, I was out of my shell. It all started with MGS then the word got out. Next thing you know I was offered a book deal, someone wanted to be my agent, Amanda Balionis gave me a tour of one of the tour vans, Ellen Degeneres had me on her talk show. Some moron threw me at a coach at a football game and I was all over the news. Frankly it got a little overwhelming. I even saw shirts in a golf shop that said “Play Yellow”. So lately I was kind of just skulking in the background and chiming in once in a while. I’m trying to get back to just being me. You know, the ball in play on the course. And of course giving you crap when you deserve it. MGS. In closing, what message would you like to give the spy’s reading this interview? YB. Golf is not an easy sport. Be patient, take some lessons, make sure your clubs fit you, and be courteous to others on the course. Fix your divots in the fairway, rake the bunker after your sand shot, and fix your pitch marks on the green. But most importantly keep me out of the dam water! YB. Peace out my brothers and sisters! Hope you see me in the bottom of the cup in ONE some time soon. Welcome back YB, for a while I thought you might have accepted a position with Sergio's Fire Ball team.

chisag Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 ... Well lets just say my original assessment that Yellow Ball is not a member of Mensa is proven once again. "It is not every day that you encounter a large bear on your local golf course and this golfer wanted to hole this putt before he was gobbled alive. Playing with a yellow ball, the player hit the perfect shot and he rolled it into the bottom of the cup. Throughout the footage, the bear remains unmoved." https://socalgolfer.org/watch-golfer-hits-a-long-putt-with-a-huge-bear-right-behind-him/?utm_source=newsletter06262022&utm_medium=newsletter06262022&utm_campaign=newsletter06262022 MattF, Tom the Golf Nut, cksurfdude and 5 others 8 Quote Driver: Qi10 10.5* ...

I don't think I would have putted out with that bad boy standing back there. cksurfdude, GolfSpy_SHARK, cnosil and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm. Maybe, but I'm not sure. A. As mentioned above, Yellow Ball was moving _away_ from the small, cute, cuddly happy looking bear. B. Thusly, while in transit away from said bear, Yellow Ball left his .. larger, much meatier and tastier .. human much closer to the bear .. ie. a much easier lunch target.

Popular Post Yellow Ball Posted June 27, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 27, 2022 YB wasn't afraid of the alligator that ate him. Obviously smart enough to leave the human behind and make a perfect run for the cup to hide in. But it seems that everyone who plays a yellow ball has balls!
