I believe an ET caddy climbed a tree to ID a ball some years ago. Langer famously climbed a tree to play his ball, at Fulford, York, I believe. Maybe that should be the rule.

Didn’t Garcia play from a tree once as well? Was it at bayhill?

I don’t know is the answer but I’d be interested in seeing a clip. Thanks for letting me know. 
 

I can understand him having an affinity with trees probably in case he has to repair his head !

Or, as they are all pros, just have the ball makers print their names on them?

 

Like <ProV1> on one side and <Golfername> on the other. Done

They would still need additional markings.

Why ?

Because unless the ball was sitting in just the right position the marking can be obscured.

Maybe name printed in each quadrant or something.

 

ANY marking can be obscured.

 

Mr Hammer is suggesting a player's name imprinted by a manufacturer was NOT enough of a marking to differentiate one's ball.

 

That is simply NOT true. One's name, imprinted on the ball, is clearly enough to establish the ball's owner.

With technology available today this shouldnt even be up to the human eye. 

That said, eff Patrick Reed. The dude has made himself in to a lightning rod for attention, he has to know this comes back on him if he's wrong.

I'm no technologist, but I think jamming an Apple Air Tag inside a ProV1 may disrupt the flight characteristics. 😉

Fortunately, after hiring several engineers from Callaway, Titleist and Snell, and acquiring PXG in a forced buyout, Apple will soon be releasing the iFly golf ball which will feature a Bluetooth 5.0 beacon located under the prominently featured Apple logo just beneath the outer layer of the ball, rumored to be a new Gorilla Glass/Urethane polymer mix. The iFly is designed to be used exclusively in conjunction with the company's upcoming app, FindMy...Ball. The app will feature a 3 minute timer and will loudly play a tune from your playlist once your maximum search time is reached. If no song is selected, FindMy...Ball will default to Phil Collins, "I Missed Again."
