Ball Marking

[Stuey01]

so, once you have lost a ball on your home course what do you do with all those identically marked balls?

all a little counter productive to my mind

I use the markings already on the balls I find - I have exactly the same situation but better odds (on my home course) because the ball could have been lost by a visitor (and yes he could have lost more than one!).

also happy to use balls without any added markings - they really stand out nowadays!

I mix up my dozen balls so each sleeve of 3 has different numbers, that way I always have a provisional different to the one I spanked into the clag

Putting line around the manufacturer putting aid, a circle around the number (both in green sharpie) and now a Liverbird on the ball too ...

that I understand, but what if you loose the original; do you keep a note of it and avoid playing a ball with those markings on that hole again?

No, and I don't lose any sleep over it.

I mark the same way every time and just use a different number ball to differentiate.

I usually combine the letters HAMK into a single 'mark'
