To steal a Titleist ad: How do you mark your ball? Or do you mark it at all?

[fairwaysngreens]

i use a blue sharpie and make a line over the golf ball style (for example I draw a line over where it says PRO V1.

[Mikey]

I usually just use a sharpie that is different colors and draw a line, this also helps with my putting alingment.

[flap]

My old softball nickname FLAP big letters so all the old timers at Bethpage do not think they found a new ball from god.

[jmurdock]

I put an orange dot to the right of the number and an orange line over "ProV1x" or "HX Tour" depending on the ball im playing.

[Franco!]

My golf coach told the team that if we didn't mark our balls he would pretty much kill us. So, team color (red) over the ball style.

[J_Bone]

I mark mine with a Sharpie blue "JB" next to the ball type.

[Shindig]

When I was playing Stratas, I didn't mark them; no one else in my group ever played them. Even with the dozens of random pairing partners I had. But I did sharpie a circle over the number on any provisionals to clearly distinguish the two.

Now that I'm playing Titleists, I underline the word "Titleist" in blue sharpie. I'm playing DT So/Los, so I don't run into too many people playing those (most people playing Titleists are playing NXTs or Pro-V1s), but I underline it (a) just in case and (b) to easily distinguish the two in event of just seeing the word "Titleist."

Does anyone have a link to the titleist commercial? A friend just told me about it yesterday on the course, and I haven't seen it yet. Thanks in advance.

Your golf coach knows something. That's not casual golf. Gotta follow the rules. If you don't put an identifying mark on your ball, every shot is a lost ball.

[klaymon]

I underline the ball manufacturer name/logo with blue Sharpie.

Uh, I don't think that is the chinese character for snake.

I mark my NXT Tours with a blue 41 next to the factory ball #

41 is and has been my hockey # for many years

[joshiemac25]

Small Smiley Face in Blue Sharpie on the blank side of the ball between the logos. 2 dots for eyes and a sweeping smile.

When I tee it up, I make sure the ball is smiling at me before I swing...

I'm a CPA and a CFP, so I mark my Titleist with a dollar sign $ using a green Sharpie above the Titleist logo. Pretty freakin' clever, huh.

[lordnazgul]

I draw a red line across the HX tour 56 bit to line up putters but make it look like an arrow (as if from a bow and arrow, something like >->->-------->) I also black out the numbers because i don't like to know what number i am playing.

I've never understood where people make this stuff up from. There is no rule stating you must mark a ball.

[wachesawgolfer]

I do not but I should. Tough if you play another ball that is your brand and it turns out just to be a lost ball by another group and you only realize on the green you were playing a 2 but the ball on the green is a 6.
