In this article is a link to "easy pickins" which describes why coyotes may be coming into residential areas -- food left out for homeless or feral cats, food left out for pets, fruit on ground from trees, etc.
This is also a good article. Coyotes and People: What to Know If You See or Encounter a Coyote : The Humane Society of the United States

I am still going to carry the golf balls at night in case a coyote gets too close. I will have to remember to take into account what direction the golf ball is travelling though. The whistle, screaming, and picking the dog up in my arms would come before throwing a golf ball though.
