Sir David Attenborough is credited with initiating the change from white to yellow tennis balls in the late 1960s to improve visibility for television viewers. As a BBC executive overseeing the transition to color broadcasting, he found white balls hard to track against grass courts, leading to the adoption of âoptic yellowâ balls by the International Tennis Federation.

I havenât researched this but first off the flower of shamrock in yellow whereas the flower of clover is pink.
Also the flowers are very different. Botanically speaking this means they have evolved along different lines and are very very different.

Whatâs called shamrock in Ireland is a few different species of clover, of over 300 species in the clover (Trifolium) genus.
Iâm going to guess here that trifolium means three leaf.

In the mid-1800s, Dutch men averaged ~165 cm (5â5"), among Europeâs shortest due to poor nutrition/sanitation. Improved diet, healthcare, and prosperity since then added ~20 cmânow men average 183 cm, the worldâs tallest. Solid example of environment shaping height.
The shortarses died out.
