It's not fair, but it's true.

Anyone who has played golf knows that talking to the ball while it's in the air is an essential part of the game. Body English (note that no golfer says Body German, Body Swedish or Body Spanish) also helps.

We really don't where golf balls are actually manufactured but the most popular brands are made under patents owned by English-speaking companies. The UK brands are owned by people with accents, but we can understand them most of the time.
So it broke my heart when former Masters Champion Angel Cabrera from Argentina - who speaks no English, while in close contention for another Masters title, yelled at a ball in flight in Spanish for the ball to curve to the right in its descent. The English-only ball never understood a word Angel said and wound up in a sand trap.
Angel finished second.
Anyone who does not go overboard- deserves to.
