I don't mark my golf ball, not real fond of markings on my ball, I guess I am simplistic. I usually see what the other guys are playing, which seems to never be the same ball as mine. If for some reason we had the same ball I would fish around the bag until I found a different numbered ball.

Three small black dots to the left of the number on my titleist. My dad has always done one, my mom has always done two, so I figured I should keep the family tradition up.

I saw a cool one on the titleist website of a guy who marked his with a kangaroo.

Thats Nick O'Hern. Hes an Aussie so it makes good sense.

That kind of effort wouldn't be worth it for me, seeing as I would probably lose it as soon as I drew that nice picture.

I used to put a straight line on the seam but now I just put one purple dot under the Taylormade logo. I found the line too distracting.

2 black dots to the left of the number. I used to make a line to help putting alignment, but I don't like how it leaves ink marks on the face of my clubs.

When I started playing I used to write

Now I just use ... _ _ _ ... (morse code for SOS) Since I usually find my ball in distress.

If it's a competition, I'll put a red dot on the ball somewhere near the name or the #.

Otherwise, I don't mark it.

    • 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.
