How do you mark your ball?

[Beantown Beancounter]

red sharpie through "Gamer" to aid in lining up putts...

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?

I play strictly used balls so there is a mixture of brands and logos. So I mark a rather large X with a sharpie; one diagonal red and the other blue. Quite unique and fairly easy to see in the fairway. I would post a photo, but cannot do attachments yet.

I have a green cross on my balls at the moment.

Aim line drawn through the name of the ball (i.e. through the Z-Star X) and a 4 leaf clover at the end. Color doesnt really matter, but something dark enough to where if i take a bit off with the wedge, i can still line it up (blue or black usually).

I draw a small smiley face under the logo(Nike Swoosh). 2 dots for eyes on 2 different dimples and a smiley using an orange Sharpie. Sometimes I put a little tongue sticking out to lighten the mood, usually when I'm playing bad.

I make 5-6 hearts with a red sharpie.

A friend of mine made this for me, but I don't play with it for fear of losing it.

I play a pro v1 x with red circles around each of the numbers with a red line through the "pro v 1x" line for putter alignment

I put one orange Cross beside the # on the ball (1 cross on each side of the ball: 2 total)

[plickerman]

I write my sons initials under the logo.

[CarlSpackler]

With a green dot. Boring, I know.

Just bought some callaway hots, and I'm gonna mark them w/ the little joker face from batman haha...use the V as the mough and put to black oo about it :)

[ChiChiIsMe]

I normally put GL under the putting aid of whatever ball I'm playing (currently srixon z-star-x) in purple sharpie. My kids initials. Georgia and Louis.

[sp33d]

It depends how long the line is to tee off, some times I draw faces that look scarred, angry or just my intials over the name.

I use recycled Hogan ball.
A striaght black line across letter "Tour Deep" for half of the ball.
Plus 2 small dots the the top and bottom around letter "T".

More of my alignment aid and putting roll confirmation then marking my balls.

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

So I'm guessing you don't play alot of courses in Oklahoma, or if you do you don't hit the ball out of your line of sight.
