Price points. Interesting question, the different price for balls of various colors. Why the blue ones should be the cheapest, who knows? Folks generally eschew blue balls? They get lost in flight, what with the blue heavens and all? Perhaps white, while the plainest, commands a certain premium because there will always be a hard core of traditionalists who find the randier colors a tad, shall we say, cheesy? And are willing to pay a few pence more for the dignity of ye olde white spheroid? Ever see the Oldest Member hacking about the course with a blaze orange or Santa-hued gutta-percha?
