How do you mark your ball?

[d373rm1ned]

Thought it would be entertaining to see how each person marks their ball. I am currently playing the Nike Platinum One ball. I mark it with 2 black dots above the swoosh which makes it look like the ball is smiling lol. How about you?

Been asked a lot before. But I mark mine with an ichthys above the label.

With a red dot somewhere on the ball, usually above or below the name on the ball (Wilson, Maxfli or whatever brand I am using at the time).

I think with pictures this thread would be entertaining.............. without, I'm bored.

Small blue smiley face (2 dots for eyes and a small smile) on the emptiest part of the ball. If I am in a bad mood, I might change it to a flat line or a frown.

I mark my balls with a simple red 'X' through the number on both sides of the ball. Sometimes I use a green or black sharpie if I can't find the red one, but the red is my preferred choice.

I write on my ball a note saying "DO NOT PICKUP". I play a lot of muni courses where its very hilly and the locals like to pick up balls if they don't see anyone in sight.

smiley face....red mouth black eyes.

More than likely with a scuff mark from a tree or cart path.

I usually write random funny phrases all over, but I've lost focus because I couldnt stop laughing. Plus now I'm using a decent ball, so I'll probably stop. When I played HS meets I blacked out the name with a black bar.

I usually mark my ball with a "Z" under the number. One of my friends on our golf team lets me mark his ball with anything I can think of as long as it makes him laugh. Ever since we started doing it, he's been averaging about a 40 (per 9), so we're going to keep doing it.
I thought of getting custom golf balls that said "Caution: Explodes on Impact" or "Please Return to Me."

A red dot on each side of the ball that way I don't have to touch the ball to recognize it if there is any question.

Green line half way around. For alignment.

I mark my ball with a birdie god... Have to admit that I stole it from someone on the Titleist web site. They have a bunch posted. Some pretty cool markings... I'm not that creative but this is rather easy to draw...

[rockcola]

I like the Birdie God, but does anyone know what the Eagle God looks like. Or even better the "ACE" God? JK

I almost hate to divulge, so I won't, I'll only hint:

| | o | | o

(the circles are actually dots, colored in)

[kmclain]

I always circle the number with a blue sharpie.

I'm so big of a Texas Longhorns fan that I actually have golf balls with the Longhorns logo and TEXAS above it... So far I haven't ran into any problems, as many aren't fans of Texas up here in Missouri... haha

The picture isn't actually the golf balls that I use, but they are real close to it.
