I know this has probaly been made before but i was just curious. I normally use titleist balls and i mark an "M" under the T. When i use other balls its a "TM" at the top and bottom of the ball.

I usually don't have to mark them because I have yet to play with anyone else who uses Top Flite D2 Feels. But when my wife and I play, I just put a dot on each side of the word •FEEL•. I also prefer even numbers.

I underline Bridgestone (or whatever brand I'm using) on both sides with a mini thick Sharpie. I carry blue and orange, and I prefer orange. When I hit a provisional - rare, but I want to do the same thing each time - I put a circle over the number on both sides.

Once a ball has been used to the point that it is going in the shag bag, I put my initials on it in orange. I keep some of these in my bag so I can easily do pre-round pitching and chipping practice with balls that resemble the ones I'll be using without cutting the ball I'm about to use. No sense starting the day with a brand new ball that has been hit 20 times with a wedge before the first tee.

I colour in 2 dimples - one green and one orange - with a blank dimple between them.

You get a nice Tri-colour effect (p.s. i'm Irish!).
I do 6 of these usually - one on each "side" of the ball (think of it as a cube)

Why 6? Something to do with Irish history

Darren Clarke does a green shamrock on his - half of Ireland does the same thing....this is my alternative

Does he do a green shamrock freehand or does he have a stencil? Or does his sponsor send him the balls with that pre-printed?

I do the "shamrock" thing too, but I color in three dimples in the shape of a triangle, with a small vertical line underneath (somewhere on the blank side of the ball), so it looks like a three leaf clover or a "club" mark. I also call them "puppy paws".

Just a little dog poo, if someone picks up your ball and denies it, all you have to do is smell their fingers.

    • It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…
    • I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
