So i ordered some golfdotz, and let me tell you..... they do not work on golf balls. Half of the dot ripped off with my drive... three holes in a row (3 new balls). I didn't hit the golfdot directly or anything, but i guess it couldn't handle the spin/speed.

Anyway, I decided to use the rest of my golfdotz on my clubs... And it was a success! Tommy Armor III has golfdotz on all his irons and shafts, so thats where i got the idea from. I'm extremely happy with the results i got, so i decided to share them with thesandtrap community! here are some pictures....

hmm.. I have to disagree with you about them not working on golf balls.. I have found these things to work actually perfectly.. I am a long ball hitter and have a big swing and I have never had an issue with the golfdot coming off.. ever.. actually.  I started using these early last year and I am now somewhat of an addict.. I like to have full sleeves of fresh PRO Vs with my mark on it.. my league foursome all know who the SCORPION is..!  Anyway, try applying them on the golfball inside your home (warmer is better).. again I have had an excellent experience with these things and quite frankly, it blows away my old way of marking the ball with a sharpie, looks way tougher..

Regarding the clubs.. I haven't gone that way with them but my kids have used them on their ipads for sure and they love it..

Best of luck in 2011!

I'm glad you have had better luck with them on your balls. I wish they stayed on for me. I put them on the night before i played and literally the first drive rips them up for me .

It was cold when we played though, so maybe that has something to do with it. Hopefully they stay on in the summer!

They never stayed on here either. After the drive or the second shot the thing was always gone.

Danny reviewed the GolfDotz back in 2009.

I have had pretty good experience with them, it helps a lot if you apply to a warm ball.  I used a few in the beginning before I figured that out too.  I applied to a sleeve of balls the night before a round and they all stayed on as if nothing ever hit the ball.  Maybe the Albatros loses a lot of balls if he NEVER had an issue(kidding).  I like them.

I emailed customer service at golfdotz before i did it and asked them if it would work. They told me yes, and mentioned there are many pros who have done so.

The only thing different than applying it to a ball is that you must burnish them on after you press to get good bonding.

Cool on the clubs.  May have to try that.

I got some GolfDotz with an order from callaway golf preowned and used them.  Add me to the list of people for whom they DID work quite well.  I've used a few of them for more than a round and not had any wear off before the ball was scuffed pretty badly---they last at least as well as sharpie markings.  I was pretty careful when putting them on---did it at home and held as instructed, then carefully rubbed the backing until it fell off.  On a couple, it wanted to stick on a spot or two, so I pressed harder there until it stuck entirely.  I then double-checked that the label was actually pressed against the cover of the ball, on a couple it had bridged across a dimple, so I just used the removed backing to press it in to get good contact.

I also waited a few days to weeks before using the balls.  Between that and the extra care when applying, I wonder if there's an element of either user error or mis-instruction in the cases where they don't work at all.  Also, it could depend on the ball.  I used a couple different ones, but they were all inexpensive (Warbird or e6 I think).  Or maybe there are differences between batches of the labels...

In any case, I think they're a bit too expensive for my tastes.  If I'm going to get custom balls, I'll probably just order a large number of pre-printed ones and not spend a couple minutes per ball putting them on.  That way I can get my own custom art as well, and it's not that expensive (nor that ridiculous a minimum order).  I might get some 'Dotz to put on my clubs, though, that's pretty cool.

In the bag:
FT-iQ 10° driver, FT 21° neutral 3H
T-Zoid Forged 15° 3W, MX-23 4-PW
Harmonized 52° GW, Tom Watson 56° SW, X-Forged Vintage 60° LW
White Hot XG #1 Putter, 33"

I am going to give them one more chance on balls. I applied them last night inside, and wont be using them until Friday. Temp will be mid 60's and sunny, so that shouldn't be an issue.

I'll let yall know how it turns out for them, also will post pics after the round if they don't last.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By saevel25 · Posted

      So, Brendan Sorsby, Texas Tech transfer QB, was found guilty of sports betting by the NCAA. He admitted to it. He placed thousands of bets over multiple years while at Indiana and Cincinnati. This included betting on his own teams.  The NCAA rules ban athletes from betting on any sport (college or pro).  A retired visiting judge from Tarrant County, Texas has put an injunction on the NCAA ruling. He is a visiting judge because the first judge was a graduate and big fan of Texas Tech, and he recused himself. The judged ruled the following... "Under Curry's order, Sorsby is permitted to play for Texas Tech's 2026 season on the condition that he continues his treatment for a gambling and anxiety disorder and serves a two-game suspension (missing games against Abilene Christian and Oregon State)."  Don't get me wrong, I don't particularly care for the NCAA. That still doesn't mean that a college can choose when or where to say, "Yea we agree to these rules for all our sports, well except in this case." Here is a breakdown from S&W. The Hidden Weapon in Sorsby’s Injunction: How a Lubbock County Court Order Quietly Neutralized the NCAA’s Most Powerful Enforcement Tool - Law Offices of Snell & Wilmer By Ryan J. Regula On June 8, 2026, Lubbock County District Court Judge Ken Curry issued a temporary injunction in Brendan Sorsby v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, Cause No. DC-2026-CV-0791 (99th Judicial District... The main judgement made sense. Sorsby, I am going to have all this harm done to me if I don't get to play. The Judge, I agree. The penalty for gambling is too harsh, so here are all these things you must do, and I will grant this injunction against the NCAA. Basically, an analogy would be when a person goes into court for a DUI and they agree to all these other things to not end up in jail.  What sucks for the NCAA is the NCAA has appealed to Texas’ Seventh Court of Appeals, based in Amarillo. All four justices that preside over the court are graduates of Texas Tech University School of Law. It would be hilarious if all four of them had to recuse themselves 🤣. For those who like to read legal rulings...

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By StuM · Posted

      The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I saw this comment made in a golf article... "Most golfers stand over a 4- or 5-iron still negotiating with themselves. They think about how hard to swing, whether they have the right club, if they have the aim correct and more. It’s a lot to deal with and long irons punish the “half-in” golf swing." I am not sure the "most golfers" is correct regarding the bolded part. I can understand if there is a bunker, water, and/or OB that a lot of golfers would be fixated on that. I am not sure that leads to ending up more times there. Pending your level in golf, the variance is so large in outcomes, it could be just with in the expected outcomes. I can understand if have a big lake on the right side of the hole being one of the most terrifying shots for right-handed amateur golfers.  I am not sure many golfers are standing over the ball talking to themselves, "Ok, maybe I should step back and pull the 4-iron. Am I lined up right? Oh, the wind came up, should I swing harder? What am I going to have for dinner tonight, maybe steak. (Joking, somewhat 😛)" A question is that how much chatter do you get while standing over the ball. Are you questioning the everything about your golf shot?
