Win a Scorecard License by Giving Me a Ball Marker

[iacas]

For years, I've used a 10 franc coin (from France) as my ball marker. It was reasonably small (but "meaty" [i.e. thick]) and it was two-tone: gold on the outside with silver on the inside.

Anyway, long story short, it's now gone. I believe it fell out of my bookbag on my flight to CA recently.

I have a few 1 Euro coins that are two-tone, and some other coins that I kind of like but none are THE ball mark.

So here's a dumb little contest: show me a picture of a ball mark (please no attachments - find an image online, email it to me, something). If I like it, and you send me a few (or one if it's somewhat valuable [<$25]), I'll give you a license to Scorecard .

I like odd shapes in coins (hexagons, pentagons maybe), weird colors, two-tone looks, coins with holes in the middle perhaps. I'm 50% Polish, was born in 1978... I dunno.

This idea may fall flat on its face, but hey, nothing lost if so.

What do I get if I mail this to you from the UK

(This ain't from Google, etc., BTW. I just pulled it from my world coins box and scanned it.)

Not worthy of a license, but I've always like the Canadian Tooney.

I can see Canada from here, but quite honestly, I don't remember the last time I saw a Tooney. If you have a few shiny ones to send me...

Dumb as it may sound, I might associate $2 with two-putting, which is never my goal. Yeah yeah, sounds bad, but it took me a few months to get over 10 being binary for 2. I had to convince myself the 10 was a good reminder of excellence, like on a scale of 1 to 10. Yeah, so I'm a bit superstitious.

Uhm, a free license to Scorecard? What's on the other side? Mine had the Vetruvian man, I think. Were they all like that? Send me a PM if you want to suggest something else I could give you.

This is a Polsih 2 ZLOTE coin.

The two on it is nice because it reminds you, no more than 2 putts.

BTW i probably posted this no more than 30 seconds before you posted so i came up with the two putt thing all on my own.

Yeah, but that's contrary to how I like to putt. If you're thinking "two putt" you're not thinking "make THIS putt." (I'd put a smiley here, but I over-use smileys as it is.)

That's a PRETTY coin. I like it. Anyone have one? I like it more than the all-silver (Polish) one. Might even be able to look past the "2" on it.

I'm afraid I've only got the one I use.

I guess you could always go with the Looney then.

Yeah, unfortunately it's just one color.

Heh heh. But c'mon, if I was content with just anything for my ball marker I'd have found one already. Heh. I have a bunch of 1 Euro coins and some others from Germany and other European countries. Some Mexican coins, too, from years ago when McDonald's gave them out with Happy Meals.

Scorecard would be very kind. The other side has an angel of some variety, holding a torch aloft.

I'll be glad to mail it tomorrow - PM your address. It's 12:25am here and I need to be on the first tee in less than 7 hours. G'nite!
