Ball Markers

It wasn't rick In the end. It was mrs G buying him some new Dunlop clubs (he hasn't had any for a few weeks and in these times of economic tightness, needs must). Lord knows how she was gonna fit them in that little Merc?!

I would but I am worried others would think I had small man syndrome.... I am so swept up in what other people are thinking about me when I am getting ready to putt.

I don't see why it's "unfathomable".
Do you not ever move that twig or clag of mud which is just outside your putting line, but getting on your nerves?
Granted you're looking at the ball when putting but personally I'd like a clean view of my putting line when eyeing it up rather than have some alien object jutting out like a moles head.

Kudos for getting "unfathomable" into a post though :D

Me too - and hence why I ask for any balls in my field of view to be marked.

Whilst it's not something that irks me really - I find the poker-chip markers more ludicrous than annoying - the point is that many seem to think that if they are not bothered, or if it is something that they are doing something and they think is OK - then it's OK. When actually if it's something that is unnecessary and might irritate or discomfort a fellow player - then perhaps we just shouldn't do it.

Though I accept that in today's 'me-me selfie' society this view on consideration to others at all times is perhaps just very old-fashioned. And hey-ho so be it - in the great scheme of things a ball-marker are just that...pretty unimportant in itself.

I assume your moral stance of not upsetting a fellow player only applies to stroke play as you've posted several examples in the past of where you have deliberately tried to put off your opponent in matchplay?

I never try and put someone off. The only thing I can think of that you refer to is when I do or do not give short putts - and in matchplay all is fair.

How about - they understand that it doesn't bother their playing partners because none of them have had any issues with a pokerchip marker. It doesn't and isn't such an extreme as you keep on making it out.

I don't and I have no doubt others on this thread also don't just put a marker down and walk away without thinking of others. You keep suggesting that people with pokerchip markers only think of themselves on the golf course - highly judgemental , rude and also very wrong.

I'm surprised that you ever manage to leave the house.. What with your well documented stance on attempting to ensure you do not upset anyone ever, no matter how inconsequential or ridiculous..

I make every reasonable effort to be polite, considerate, well mannered and respectful whilst in the company of strangers.. However, if someone is going to get upset by the most ridiculous things, then I'm sorry, but the problem lies with them.. They should consider toughening up a bit and stop expecting everyone else to pussyfoot around them like they're a piece of Ming Dynasty porcelain... Rant over... No more from me on this stupid topic...

You read much into what I post. I am only suggesting that we should remain considerate - and recognise that others might find large markers distracting. Nothing else. I find it curious that those who disagree seem unable to accept that it is possible that some might think this.
