I usually put an arrow with a "C" on the top and bottom. The arrow is for Arrowhead golf course (my home course) and cc are my initials.

I use a K in a circle below the brand. Over the past 8 years I have left a lot of balls on the course for others to play with.



Colorful, I know. I get tons of comments.

And I get to say things like "People think my balls are cute" "my balls are diseased/spotted/have the measles/are sick today/have chicken pox" and other silly comments.

I can see my balls from a mile away. And where I play most often, Tustin Ranch, the 18th fairway runs along side of the driving range. Tons of range balls make their way over onto the 18th, and I can find mine fast. Everyone else has to pick up each ball to check it.

One box is not pictured that I spotted, and it took so long that I watched The Spy Who Loved Me and For Your Eyes Only between the time I started and finished. Wife and kids were out of town, I was bored, and I drank Lagavulin 16 while I did it. So I had fun.

that is pretty clever you are quite the artist. For me, I like to use my line me up to get a putting line on the ball, and put one dot on each side above the first or last letter. Not very creatice, but I don't know of any other way.

Generally in one of two ways.....in a hurry then I'll circle the ball number with a red sharpie.

If I have time then I'll use a shamrock stencil that I have and use a green sharpie.


As to the guys that switch the boxes around so they can always play the same number.....you are screwing up the next guy who buys the boxes you messed with. I play with an increasingly larger group of players who game the same ball...the ProV1, and have to grab different numbers. It would suck to pay $40 for a dozen only to find out that you had been dicking around with them ahead of time.

I agree and disagree. Everyone can check their boxes to make sure it is what they want. Its kind of like people gaming the bananas. Stores will do everything they can to make you buy a "bunch" of bananas, and people like to break off what they need, mix and match bananas. Some people like greener bananas, and will break off the more yellow bananas, and vice versa. Its just part of it.

I will probably game the ProV1s as well now, and get all "1" balls.

I put a black dot to the right of the number and under the logo, on both sides. I used to do three red dots on top of the logo, but ever since the Studio Select Line came out, it screams out "scotty cameron ho'" too much for me. I like to mark them all when I mark the box, before I put them into play.

I also don't care what number it is, and have never come across a box that wasn't 1, 2, 3, and 4 in that order(I play NXT Tours).

I simply make a black aiming line halfway around the ball, usually covering the text that says what type of ball it is (i.e. Long & Soft).

Does anyone have any tips for making a straighter line though? I have troubles with that sometimes. Lol

If i manage to keep a ball a full round ill probably retire it or suttin haha i dont know

"I'd shoot an eagle anyday over a regular ol' birdie"


I sometimes write pharases in bands that crisscross the ball. Usually inside joke type of things with my main playing partner. If someone finds my lost balls they'd either laugh hysterically or think whoever lost them were a total whack job. Right now I have one with SNL celebrity jeopordy quotes, "Turd Fergeson", "Suck it trebek", Etc. One has "ShamWow, Slap Chop, you're gonna love my nuts, and Vince" written on it. My favorite is to write Top Gun quotes or old SNL skit lines.

I always write a "3" using a sharpie in the blank spot between the two titleist (or other company) logos for all my balls.
