Default Ball size

I was told that with the increase in size of hole on the greens that the ball size would be increased so you dont miss the ball as often.

but it isn't how small the golf ball is that causes you to miss...it's swing to hard and not enough practice. A larger ball will not go near as far anyway.

When I play the courses with the bigger holes, I have bigger balls, more confidence.

I've heard size doesn't matter.
