I put two squares one green on the left side and one red in the right side like the Mexico flag, and i put an A with black...

I always black out the number of the ball (i dont like to know what number im playing) and i draw a green line for alignment. On the opposite side i draw a logo in green (this logo changes from box to box)

I do this so my ball is VERY recognisable, yet, other people still insist on playing it thinking it is theirs!! God gave us eyes for a reason!!!

I don't mark in any way. I hate added marks on the ball. If I'm forced to I sometimes mark out the number with a black marker, or a single green dot before the titleist.

I write J.T. on both side under the number. It's the best when you find a ball that you lost weeks before.

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?

Had some gift certs and decided to finally....finally...after all these years try some ProV1 balls.

Since most of the guys I play with use them....marking was vital. I marked 'em good and left them out to dry. Had to break out the "big hat" due to the sunburn factor already down here.

I like the Birdie God, but does anyone know what the Eagle God looks like.

I'd upload a picture of myself but I can't find one...

I put my initials all over my ball, and basically draw all over it until half the ball is blue (blue Sharpie).

Three green dots in a triangle below the name on each side. Don't know why I started doing it like that, but I do.

Obviously my last post was a bit of an exaggeration. I put my initials below and to the right of the number, and underline the number. I don't have to worry about someone else having the same initials because if they do, they're on the other team. We get Pro V1s with our team logo on them. Here's an example:

the way i mark my ball is with an arrow as a putting line over the writing on the side e.g. where it says big bertha on callaways.

If I hit it right, it's a slice. If I hit it left, it's a hook. If I hit it straight, it's a miracle.

I always use a blue sharpie to circle one of the numbers and draw a line around the equator, being careful not to go through the logos.

    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
    • Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings. 
    • IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
