How do you mark your ball?

[Dent]

Any lose change in my pocket. Usually a nickle.

like ball mark it or mark it on the green

[Backspin]

I move my ball and, with the edge of my putter, hack a decent sized pit in the green. Actually I use whatever I find first, be it a marker or a coin.

[shsgolfer#1]

Like a dot over the i on Titleist or a line over Pro V1

[Jamesrh]

Marking the ball on the green I use a gold coin. ID mark on the ball itself I use my initials next to the number.

My Wilson glove came with a snap that I used for a round until it somehow came off and got lost.

Brush-T tees come with a ball marker in their little case, which is what I use.

If you're talking about marking my ball, as in the Titleist TV commercials ("how do you mark your Titleist?") I don't bother. I play cheap Top-Flites so if I lose one I don't worry about it much.

On green: Depending on the position and for how long, if it is a quick ball alignment I use my divot tool. To mark by ball so it doesn't disturb other player I use a foreign coin (usually from singapore - however never a thai coin).

Marking on the ball. My initials on each side on the number - e.g. M1S.
I HATE big markings on balls like some stupid people do.

I don't write anything on my ball. I generally use foreign coins, especially strange and unusual ones like old German Marks or Swiss Francs, or perhaps one of the bi-metallic coins like the Canadian Toonie ($2 coin).

I mark the putting line on my V1Xs with an FSU spear. I hate initial markings on balls like some stupid people do.

On the ball: No matter what type of ball (right now, Noodle), I fill in a dimple to the left of the number with green sharpie, and to the right of the number with silver sharpie.

On the green: I found that the divot tool I have holds a US Quarter just as well as the ball marker that came with it, so I use a US Quarter from my birth year.

My repair tool has a magnetic marker on it.

The marker is the team mascot of the college my Grandfather attended. Often during a round it'll bring back memories of playing golf with him the last few years of his life.

Very pleasant feeling to be out on a golf course somewhere and feel close to him.

Golf was a blessing to my family as my Grandfather, Father and I all enjoyed many rounds together. Very special time.

doesn't the commercial go something like

"it doesn't matter how you mark your ball. it's how you mark your prov1"

On the green, I just use the ball marker that comes with my glove.
On the ball, I put a line underneath the nike swoosh and a Y by nike one for alignment purposes..but nothing crazy...i see guys put lines all around the ball over the equator of the ball and then crosses or hash marks.

[Snake]

On the green, I use a 1943 steel penny.
On the ball, I put a red dot to the left and a black dot to the right of the number.

if i'm using a callaway ball, i color in all the spaces between the C & A's in "Callaway" with black. I then color in the "o" in golf underneath the callaway.

I mark a colored line, either green, orange or blue mainly, across the tour ix.

If i'm using a titleist, i color a line across the AIM and i highlight the "tit" in titleist.

If i'm using a Taylormade, i draw a thick line through the AIM line and then a second line through the Taylormade logo of the same color.

On the ball - a big X on both sides (hopefully it sticks out enough so playing partners do not feel the need to pick it up)

On the green - repair tool includes a nice Yankees ball marker
