You can use anything to mark the position as long as you're able to replace the ball in the same spot.

I remember seeing that and I often use it as an example of may be used.

When you're watching the golf and coverage switches to a player you've not seen all tournament and he has a 30 foot putt...
You don't need to watch..you know it's going in....
Honestly, how many times in a round do you actually have to ask to have a marker moved? In our fourball, if 1 marker per round gets moved that is all. I can’t believe you have to ask continually- unless people you play with are using dinner plates!!! ?A thin marker such as a small coin is one thing..... Even if it's slightly off your line and you still manage to hit it (which of us always hits it on our intended line?) Turn there's not much harm done. But thick chips? They can and do stop your ball. So you end up having to continually ask them to move it. It's an irritation, that's all. I never said it was the end of the world.
I had to ask for one to be moved today... then hit it anyway! ?Honestly, how many times in a round do you actually have to ask to have a marker moved?

Er....
No...
Inane comebacks like these.People making judgements on other based on what ball marker they use ?

That's not an irritation! That's an annoyance. Big difference. I feel your pain.Another potentially great round not finished off, 3 over after 9, walked off 14 over. Double bogied 16, 17 and 18 ?
Except if the ball hits a marker no penalties are given out.Er... yes it is
I don't know why they exist. I thought the whole point of a marker was to remove the obstacle of a ball potentially being struck, and replace it with something flat that a ball could easily roll over with deviating much. You can't roll it over a poker chip, it would hit it and change direction - so it's not fit for purpose.
