  Okay, you can cut & paste.  What else can you do that's remotely intelligent?

  Looks like he was just trying to add some colour to the post.  Black and grey / gray (sp?) are so blah.  I like the bloo. lol

  Happy Golfing

  Look, I don't mind if you borrow the language, just don't smear your sweaty ape-like hands all over it...

  Re: color of balls

  I do find it funny that someone will pay more for a certain colored ball over another with the same characteristics.  Then again, buying avatars seems a little silly too.  Yet it does support the game and adds individuality.   Works for me.

  Hope this gets the post back on track.

  Actually the colored balls that I buy are the cheaper option. The GI-S balls both the light blue and Pink balls are cheaper than the white ones and The GI-SD balls the light blue is the cheapest and the pink balls are the same price as the white. For me with the balls it's the price that matters not really the color. That being said I did chose the pink GI-S ball because in real life as an older man with a sow swing speed I play pink ladies balls so why not do it here.

  Amazingly enough , yes some of the colored TOUR GI  balls will save you a few credits.  Good to know for those bargain hunters.

  Another advantage to the light blue balls is they listen to me better than the white ones.

  A light blue one will check up when I yell "Bite!" but the whites have a mind of their own and will continue on their merry way.

  just sayin.........

  Not fair they don't do any of the GI3-S coloured balls as cheap or cheaper than the white ones.  Same applies to the GI2-S balls too.

  I'm guessing they are making it similar to real golf; the best Titleist, Nike, Callaway, etc, etc spin balls are pretty much always white.  Distance balls or cheaper balls can be found in yellow, orange and pink to name a few (may even be all!).  Have you ever seen a yellow Pro V1???  And I bet real coloured balls don't cost any more than similar white ones... may even be cheaper!

  So WGT, how about not being so greedy and make all colour balls the same price for the same type.  I too would like to play with a different colour, but I'll be damned if I'm going to pay extra for them!

  Oh, and one more thing, get some pink woolly knickers for Lizzie; she's been hinting, nay begging, for absolutely ages!
