Ball Markers and how you mark your balls...

[Three Putt]

I mark my ball with 4 blue dots on the "north pole" of the ball, 1 dot for each of my kids, blue because blue ribbons are first place, but green is my favorite color so I will probably go buy a green sharpie and change it for good.

Mark the ball in scrambles and league play with a smiley face marker (it's the "have a nice" day look) that is on one of my divot tools.

When I play by myself or with my kids I use the marker my kids gave me for Christmas.

See what i'm saying? Everyone has some kind of personal thing going on. lots of cool ideas.

I use either a 1994 or 1998 quarter. Those are the years my sons were born. I don't mark my ball, but I am planning on starting that this year. The Titleist website is pretty cool. I figure I better come up with a good one.

I've mentioned this before, but it's still true today.
I don't mark my balls. The course I play most is right against a busy street and I have sent several balls out that way.. If I ever do hurt someone or shatter a windshield, I don't want anything that could tie that ball back to me.

I think it comes from being married to a lawyer..

I dont mark my ball, but i think i will this year for good luck. For a ball marker i use a marker with my clubs logo.

My ball marker is a just the logo for the University of Alabama.

I mark my Nike One's by outlining the top of the swoosh with a blue sharpie. Just a little mark that gives some depth to the logo.

I always use this tool that I have. you can check the link below(Not the same ball mark tho) I always clip it to my left pocket, the ball mark is a magnet, it attaches to the divot tool. I use this all the time, I feel almost naked without it. Its just so convienant and reliable. I always laugh when people dont have a ball mark and ask me for one, but of course i never have a second haha

I mark my ball with the Zen Enso symbol:

I cut up the tip of a Sharpie to get the brushed look. I look at it every tee shot and put to remind myself to stay in the now and not dwell on the past or start thinking of the future.

For a ball mark, I like the simple little plastic ball marks with a stem on them so they stay in the ground. Also, I don't get mad when I loose them. I've lost a lot of nice coins over the years. Sometimes I'll put an Enso on them as well...

I use a button from by Brooks Brothers blazer to mark my balls. Reminds me of all the good times I've had in it. My ball mark repair tool is a scotty.


I mark my ball with three red 'cherry bombs' on top of the 'titleist', ala Scotty Cameron.

1979 quarter, year I was born.

[srjorion]

I put a line on my ball using a tool I picked up at a retail store. That's about all I do to mark my ball.

For ball markers, I have a couple of Divvy Tools that I use that have magnetic spots for markers. I have two markers that came with the two tools. On is my alma mater, Georgia Tech, and the other is the U.S. Navy seal. I have two other markers that are custom markers that Divvy made for me that I gave out as gifts to my friends in a former Navy squadron I was in. I switch between markers from round to round.

4 black dots around the number

[Undr Par]

as far as ball markers I grap loose change from my car that day and place it in my Left Pocket and when needed just grap and use the 1st thing that comes out.

as far as marking my ball I place a Jesus Fish with a Cross in the middle and My Mothers Initials as she just recently passed on.

[Jack_2251]

Um I have a titleist hat with the "Magnetic field" (lol) and I use the marker 4 that koz it matches my Pro-V1x Ball.........

yeh

[jwnolefan]

I use a few different markers from courses I played when I used to live in FL.

[Crafty]

I use one of three options:
-$1 or $2 Peso
-A rusted out 1974 quarter
-Any other quarter from the 60's (reminds you of what youre looking to do)

As for my ball, three small dots to the left of the number.

[Trevor07Silvy]

I mark my ball with a T (first letter of my first name) under the number on each side, and I use some change or any other marker to mark my ball.

[Fourputt]

I have a couple of different ball markers that I use. Lately I've been using a poker chip sized one with my home course name and logo on one side and the year it was built (1971) on the other. I also use a number of coins from other countries, most recently a 50 and a 100 Colones coin from Costa Rica.
