curious what others use as a balll marker that would be considered not the norm.

I find that one of the dogs expired rabies tags works real well.

Interesting mark! Not sure mine's that usual but it's either an old 5 franc piece or an old half-crown piece.

I use a round metal ball mark that is red so that I can see it from a distance and a magnet attached to the marker so that I can carry it on my hat. My hat has a clip of a Mizuno mp33 iron made out of metal so the ball marker attaches to the clip.

I use magnetic ball marks that adhere to a clip that goes on my hat. Oh, and they just happen to be photos of Natalie Gulbis in varies states of undress from her bikini calendars.

Your mark is in my line, can you move it a few feet left?

I'm using a toonie. It works well. Every time I mark the ball I laugh out lout a little bit. It really helps calm the nerves before a big putt.

A quarter, a tee stuck in the ground, a poker chip, a beer top, an actual ball marker, a leaf, a small rock... I can't remember everything I've used as a ball marker. Most often I stick a tee or my divot tool in the ground.

A valueless Angel coin. Don't know how I got it, but same size as a quarter, bronze color (I like), and angel is my wife's name.

Usually a random coin, whatever I have in my pocket. I have a little purple plastic ball marker that I keep in my bag that I fall back to if I don't happen to have change.

In the bag:
FT-iQ 10° driver, FT 21° neutral 3H

when i forget my marker in my bag i usually pick up the nearest item, may it be a leaf, blade of grass, whatever

my divot tool has a magnetic ball mark thingy,i use that.but if for some reason i dont have it i use change in my pocket,and if i dont have that i use a tee.

I use an Italian 500 Lira bimetal coin from 1983 (replaced by the Euro). It fits in (and sticks to) my magnatized divot repair tool. A very beautiful and interesting coin, as well as having two colors, gold and silver, the 500 Lira was the first bimetal coin minted in the world.

I use a fake poker chip. Big enough not to be lost and to be seen by everyone on the green, heavy enough not to be moved by the wind and round enough not to eat through my pocket. Been using that for a couple of years and will not change!

black oxidised a 50 cent coin. looks awsome. or else my 1 pound irish coin with my d.o.b.

    • #1. I rather lower my score by 3 instead of making an eagle... but a hole in one is a hole in one and I'm still didn't make one. 
    • I'm available all of those weekends.   How do I vote?
    • Option one. Would like an ace even if it’s a worm burner. Have witnessed a couple of aces so would like to be on the other end. 
    • OK - I think we should narrow down a weekend, and start there.  We're going to try to do this in June. I've created a Doodle poll where everyone can vote for the options that work for them.  Please include your username so I can track/post results. Doodle Doodle is the simplest way to schedule meetings with clients, colleagues, or friends. Find the best time for one-to-ones and team meetings with our user-friendly calendar tool. Get started today! (I only put in the Saturday dates, but assume the outing would include Friday - Sunday). Once we select a date that works for the most people, I'll start to line up courses and schedule and go from there.
    • Option #2 because I'd add the condition that it's in a tournament. Because that'd mean I'd break par in a tournament. And I already have a hole in one.
