How do you know it’s yours?

[larmen]

Hard to say. I'd need to do a double blind test

All my golf looks like a blind test ;-(

 

[drdel]

I draw the Greek symbol 'beta' - from IT programming = not fully functional, still testing.

There seem to be a lot of players who work on the principle that as everyone else marks their ball, they don't need to as it will be unique.

works well for me....hit a problem once in 9 years. I will take those odds

Dot to the left of the makers name and my initials on the side above the ball name/alignment line

Nothing to do with cheating, if there's 2 identical balls lying next to each other with no individual identifiable markings you can't claim definitely which ball is yours.
You're required to go back and play from where the last shot was played [ stroke and distance ] .

Today's medal the group ahead teed off and then waved us through. Should I have found out what balls they were using too. 🤣🤣

No, just ensured that your balls were marked in a fairly distinctive way, not just a dot next to the number.

Always know mine, I've even had lost ones handed back. didn't stop someone playing it by mistake last week, think he needs to go to Specsavers

My current balls are pre marked either Fragger or PhilTheFragger courtesy of my daughters at Xmas

Failing that I either mark the balls with a PM or sometimes with the symbol of Kronos which is also used by Blue Oyster Cult

Doesn't help when you hit them into the jungle though....

This is true
But when/if I find one, I know if it’s one of mine..... unless it’s the one I lost last time 😂

My missus thought I’d been assigned a pattern by the club. I like the idea that we’d all be assigned a unique pattern.

 

[Robster59]

I got my idea from the old "No Fear" logo. Works a treat on Callaway balls and I've not seen anyone else with the same design yet.

And also works pretty well on M some Mizunos I bought

 

[Robin Hood]

I put my initial above the Titleist logo on both sides.
Always easy to spot.

I don't tell anyone what markings are on my ball until they tell me what they have found in the rough when looking for mine
