For nearly a century, tennis balls have been white or black. But that all changed in 1972 when the BBC broadcast tennis, perhaps the most iconic of sports, in color for the first time ever. It was a big step for the sport, and one that was led by Sir David Attenborough.
Yellow Ball
Yellow balls is a four-person golf tournament where a team of four players play a different yellow ball on each hole, and the team that has the lowest score after each round wins the event. At the end of each round, two scores are added together to create a team score – one score for the player who played the yellow ball, and another score for a standard scramble by all four players on the same team.
It is an interesting game that requires some skill and patience. You can learn more about it on the official website.
The balls are also a great way to encourage kids to play the game. Whether you’re teaching kids the rules of tennis or just making them smile, it’s a fun way to get everyone involved.
Why are yellow balls so popular?
There’s been a rise in the popularity of yellow balls in recent years. Manufacturers have responded to this trend by adding the color to their premium white ball offerings, and even pros like Bubba Watson and Fred Couples have embraced the option. Now, you can find Tour-quality yellow balls in the premium lineups of Srixon, TaylorMade, Callaway and Titleist.
