The start of the Masters, for many, signals the start of the golfing season.
So the equipment brands are very keen to get as many eyeballs as possible on their new gear for 2017.

Bubba Watson’s green Volvik balls
Not many people will miss these as the two-time champion makes his way round.

We had just got used to Bubba’s pink balls, which match his pink Ping driver.
Do pink and green go together? Probably not but who would have thought Bubba Watson would have two green jackets.
More details on the Volvik website.
