During Sky's Open coverage on Friday, Butch Harmon was talking about Bubba Watson using different coloured balls and Harmon said that Watson had told him that you must use the same colour ball throughout the round. In other words, if you tee off with a green ball, you can only use a green ball during that round. Harmon said he wasn't previously aware of that and it's the first I have ever heard of it. A quick scan of the rules didn't result in finding any reference to this. I am aware that you used to have to use the same compression ball throughout the round but I am not even sure if this is still in place.
Was Bubba correct? Does the colour of the ball matter?
