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.
I would worry more about protecting yourself, rather than where the balls might go. The golf balls idea is pretty good and a lot neater than carrying a pocket full of stones, in my opinion. Besides, the only time you would find it necessary to use the golf balls is if you felt threatened by a coyote, and then it would be pretty close and probably an easy target.
