Question:
Hello. Does anyone know of a source for cheap, colored balls to use in my shag bag. Or, as an option, a method for dyeing balls for that purpose. I practice at a practice green where everyone uses white range balls and colored balls would easily distinguish my shots from the others.
I don’t think that I would use paint. I more than likely it will chip off on your clubs. Some type of dye or stain should work better.

Get with it. They don’t like being called "colored" anymore.

Thanks for your help… Just FYI, there may be a reason everyone else is using range balls. A lot of places have a policy of no shag bags, range balls only on the chipping and pitching greens. Some places don’t even allow you to retrieve the balls. That may not be the case here, but if you don’t know you should check.
That’s some bullshit. I would never practice at a place that wasn’t golf friendly. The only policy I have seen is that some places require you to buy a bucket of balls. Which is not a bad thing. If I do the short game work, I’ll buy a 3 or 4 dollar bucket, then workout with my shag balls for about 3 hours. It’s all good. tim

Funny, but the policy is just the opposite on my course. NO range balls allowed on the chipping green. I think it was because people were walking of and leaving them. I used to get a small bucket to take to the chipping green, but I would always end up heading to the line and hit full shots. For more advanced players it’s probably a good idea to actually practice with the type ball you play with rather than range rocks. I don’t suspect it makes a whole lot of difference in may case.

Why not just mark the equator and the prime meridian for a distinctive striped appearance. A lot easier than trying to find some colour. Alternatively, you could dip a portion into some thin red latex paint. Don’t need to colour the whole ball to make it stand out.
You could also simulate the Ping(?) balls by coloring one half. Makes it very easy, then, to see if there’s any wobble as the ball proceeds cupward. Peter (KO6R)
