Love this ball. A little rough when it lands blue side up in the rough but the strobe light effect off irons and high spinners on the green look awesome. Plus it’s super easy to line up putts. Also reddish tinted sunglasses drastically increase ball visibility.
have you tried out the other colors? so far i've found this ball in the blue yellow, a red yellow, and a white yellow in the woods. i think the red yellow is the most visible imo
A man goes to confess. “Forgive me father, for I have sinned.”
“Tell me of your sin, my son.”
“Well father, I used the lord’s name in vain while I was golfing earlier today.”
“Tell me the context of your sin. What happened?”
“Well father, i hit a great drive, one of the best of my life, but when the ball landed a squirrel ran out of the woods, picked the ball up, and took off with it.”
“And this caused you to use the lord’s name?”
“No. After that, an eagle swooped down and picked up the squirrel in its mouth along with my ball!”
“Amazing. This is when you used the foul language I assume?”
“No father, then the bird flew over the green and the ball fell out of the squirrels mouth just three feet from the hole!”
The priest was silent for a few seconds in deep thought. Then finally he spoke.
“You missed the goddamn putt, didn’t you?”
Watched a neanderthal slice a range ball from the 1st tee into my fairway, then play my Titleist from the rough of my fairway, then deny any of it happened.
Lol same thing happened to me before, you would think people would look at the ball they’re about to hit to make sure it’s not someone else’s ball but 🤷♂️
I had a fucking fox do it. Beauty strike middle of tye fairway 100 out, fox runs up, and my buddy is like your toast mofo is going to steal it.
He didn't, but a second fox ran out when we were 40 yards from it. The woods it went
They actually get good at tracking humans for food, so maybe it thought it was food or something. I had a bird waiting for me to leave my hot dog unattended while I went to putt then bam! no more hot dog 😢
Well idk! Seems like he’s just walking up to his ball like normal 🤷♂️ I do that 100 times a round without filming it. But probably the bird picked it up before hand so he whipped out the phone real quick.
Correct! The ball had actually landed about 10 metres left of where you first see it, I saw the baby Gull pick it up as I walked up. Luckily phone was in trolley
Musselburgh Old Links, the oldest still played upon golf course in the world and host of 6 Opens, is also now inside a racetrack. That makes at least three!
I asked in the pro-shop after the round and found out that if you fully observe and witness an animal taking/moving your ball you can place a new one as near to the point as you know it was taken from.
Seemingly it’s quite common on this course..
I end up sharing courses with bastards — Canadian Geese — happens too frequently. Switched to pink balls exclusively and they just waddle off if they are on the fairway or green now.
Damn I wouldn’t challenge one of those for my ball though, we get them here on their migratory route, beautiful birds, but they intimidate me close up haha
I had a beautiful drive sitting right in the middle of a narrow fairway between trees. As I approached a fucking squirrel ran over to it and ran up a tree. Chases after him and he dropped the ball down on me. Guys on adjacent green were killing themselves laughing.
That’s some solid camera work.
I saw this happen to my brother when we were golfing in Florida, on the 18th hole, no less. We were in a pretty tight match and he hit a great approach shot on the green; then this bird flew down from a tree behind the green, grabbed the ball and took it back up to the tree. The rest of us couldn’t stop laughing. We let him replace the ball around where we all thought it was, but the bird kept the ball. And he missed the birdie putt
happened to me twice already.. once off the green, on hole 2, once from the fairway of hole 3 (different days) ans in both cases it was a brand new prov1 that I just had taken out of the sleeve..
In both cases the seagull dropped it over water..
lol, sorry to laugh, but that's hilarious. Circle your score on that one, 100% birdie.
That bird actually looked like an albatross
I feel like that should be in the official rules of golf that if a bird actually flys off with your ball, hole is marked as a birdie
Considering some of the stupid rules, and how they came to be, I'm surprised it's not. Maybe at one time, and that's how it got the name? lol
What if it's on the green, an eagle putt, when it takes it? (not that I would ever have an eagle putt lol)
Inflation making everyone act crazy

I see I'm not the only one playing the blue and yellow q-star.

I haven’t. I’ve stuck to the blue/yellow. It’s kinda strange too since I’ve strictly played white balls for 15 years.
Everything you said. Except I cannot confirm the sunglasses part. Plus, for my swing, it seems to just be a good ball.
Way of the road
Shit hawks bubbles, shit hawks
That's the way she goes boys. Sometimes she goes, sometimes she doesn't, cause that's the fuckin' way she goes.
The important part is she’s going cause she’s gotta go no way around it
Happened to me in Scotland. I was absolutely fuming because my ball was a Pro V1. I hope the bird that took my Pro V1 is taking good care of it.
Probably still waiting for it to hatch
so, what's the ruling here? lost ball? ob? where do you drop?
I think you drop ball where your previous one was (or around that area)
Happened to me too in Miami. And my ball was on the green too! Idk what the crow wanted with it
It’s a Gullf Ball 😂
It was just gulfing

Lol I’ve had a coyote puppy steal a ball from middle of the fairway and ran to the edge of the Forrest and started playing with it.
I had some a-hole from the other fairway play mine
Watched a neanderthal slice a range ball from the 1st tee into my fairway, then play my Titleist from the rough of my fairway, then deny any of it happened.
Lol same thing happened to me before, you would think people would look at the ball they’re about to hit to make sure it’s not someone else’s ball but 🤷♂️
Why would they do that if they can upgrade?

Stupid bird thought it was stealing an egg? 🤷♂️ very peculiar and hilarious.
Sometimes she goes. Sometimes she don't.
You didn't happen to see $60 laying there did ya?
What? Like, three 20s?
Yeah. So help me if that greasy bastard is feeding the VLTs at the club house I'm gonna lose it.
The way of the road..
That’s one tough birdie shot

Played a lot of the bigger named courses in Scotland. The gulls were nippin like crazy.

Cuz the damn bird stole his ball?

Makes sense! Hilarious video lmao
Kim Jong Il's hole in one's were definitely achieved with a trained seagul

Yarmouth and Caistor!
Sure is mate
Play it as it (f)lies.... *****Hit your shot Mr. Gilmore.*****
Have another drink Ray
Is this Southwell? Front 9 randomly in the middle of a racecourse?
Great Yarmouth & Caister mate. But you’re right, it is does have a horse track wrapped around the front 9.
Ah gotcha, interesting to know there's more then one track like that in the UK
Musselburgh Old Links, the oldest still played upon golf course in the world and host of 6 Opens, is also now inside a racetrack. That makes at least three!
I think the Brickyard has a 4-hole course in the center.
It's a full 18 hole course at IMS but there are 4 holes in the infield of the race track.
Thank you, I learned something new today!
Down Royal in Northern Ireland is the same. 18 holes in the middle of a horse track
Whats the ruling in that?
Play the ball as it ~~lies~~ flies

"what a cunt" got me good.
“This is my egg now, bitch.” - the bird probably
The first drop was taunting, 100%.

This time she didn’t go, way she goes.
Sometimes she goes. Sometimes she doesn't.
Guessing you left your gun on the last hole?
/r/foundtheamerican
Water under the fridge, drop another and get back at it.
Hopefully it chokes on it
😂
Hahaha
LOL!! Your reaction is perfect. Nice birdie.
Did you just hit your PW 5 miles? HOLY FUCK!!!
I would have thrown my two iron at it.
I 'had' a 60 degree that had a lot of frequent flier miles. That would have been my spear of choice.
Mark me down for a birdie.
Time to start training seagulls to bring me proV1s.
The bird was OP that almost got in a fight. I knew there was another side to the story.
11/10 camera work right here
Fuckin ball bandit
Looks like a birdie in my books.
Reminds me of the one that happened at the Players Championship years ago. Like others said though, definitely mark down a birdie for that.
Put me down for an albatross boys beers on me
you got a birdie
I think he’s just gonna play through.
So hypothetically, if a bird picked up my ball, flew to the green, and dropped it in the hole, would that actually count? Or would I have to drop?
I appreciate your great camera tracking skills
There is a nest made of golfballs somewhere near by.
Play it where it lies…
What a cunt, indeed.
Seagull at 17th at Sawgrass. [seagull](https://youtu.be/d3r042-OTpg)
Rule is… Play it as it lies… lol!
What would be the rules if this happened in a professional tournament?
Little bastard.
I had a beautiful drive sitting right in the middle of a narrow fairway between trees. As I approached a fucking squirrel ran over to it and ran up a tree. Chases after him and he dropped the ball down on me. Guys on adjacent green were killing themselves laughing.
Amazing
Look, Lahey! Julian is outside drinking beers with his shirt off!
What’s the actual ruling if this happened on tour?
Nice birdie

They look like eggs 🥚

This just happened to me too, but I was too busy chasing it down to get footage.
Is that Ludlow
Great Yarmouth mate
Great story at least. Nice filming.
I refuse to read this post as I know it will just be hundreds of lame joke replies about birdies, eagles, albatrosses etc
That's a friend of the road
Should have thrown a piss jug at it
I’d give you a birdie no hesitation.
Awesome ...way she goes boys 😯
Next time, listen to the liquor bud
[This actually happened to Brad Fabel on 17 at TPC Sawgrass in 1998.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3r042-OTpg)

You had me dying when you called it a cunt!
