...how do you mark your golf ball...?

[HomerJSimpson]

Three black dots in a triangle to the left and underneath of the makers name on both sides of the ball

Did you know that as a result of the "how do you mark your Titliest" ad, sales went up by 9%. True.

Worked for me. I saw this and bought a box the next day.
Sadly, they were the wrong sort of Titleist.
Let's face it....any ad from the biggest name is going to get you thinking about re-visiting the brand.

I've just changed my ball to.......

Wilson Staff Px3 spin.......just to see if my long game can hold up.....if so, I'm sticking with these. If not, I'll go back to Dx2 soft.....so no marking my titleist full stop.

I colour in the dimple nearest the top right of the number, and braw a line through the prov1 logo, between the alignment marks.

When marking on the green, I use a poker chip.

 

[TonyN]

Is it an Odyssey Poker chip? or Just normal?

 

[USER1999]

No, it's a Whitlam golf poker chip, that I got free with my wedges. It is big enough to find when you shove your hand into a pocket full of tees etc, and you can't loose it on the green.

Poker chips eh?! I like it...!rofl....

"All bets now on the next putt..."..rofl

Usually mark my ball position on the green with one of those metal markers you canstick in the top of your putter, or the metal disks that get attracted to magnetic clips for hat etc. Failing all else it'll be the little one off a golf glove. Hate using coins as it interferes too much with other players lines.

 

[TonyN]

I have the Odessey poker chip that come with my putter but IMO its to big to use. I have a callaway divot tool with a marker on it but its really hard to get off so i my Augusta marker on the back.

Back on topic I thought of a new way to mark my ball today.... but I forgot what it was.

A smiley face maybe?

 

[bernix]

A black line, but I have yet to encounter another player playing Bridgestone golf balls

 

[USER1999]

My friend tinhead plays Bridgestone. There is always someone.

 

[USER1999]

I used to use a blue sharpie, til it got nicked in the last medal , so now I use green. Thieving gits. Is nothing sacred.

 

[madandra]

Red sharpie line along the Pro V1 arrows.

 

[Cernunnos]

I play Maxfli Fire balls & I don't know anyone else plays them, though I still mark mine with my greenshammrock, however I was considering using Bridgestones if I can find a decent well priced sauce of them as I've heard they're good in the wind & keep low.

btw I also use Taylormade TP-Burner, Srixon Trispeed & Srixon Z-URS.

 

[Dodger]

red sharpie along the 'TourB330' and along the 'Golf' on both sides of my Bridgestone or through the Srixon on both sides and the Z-URC.

 

[cm_qs]

Most of the balls I use tend to be freebie promotional ones from various company outings etc. Usually have an easily identifiable company logo on em!

Failing that, I use a sharpie to write a stylised version of my name in the shape of a shark!

 

[USER1999]

We need to see that. Post a photo.

 

[cm_qs]

I've no idea to how to post a photo!

 

[TonyN]

take a pic, upload it to photo bucket, copy and paste the location into a post.... simple

 

[andiritchie]

Smiley face in green ink.
Lost plenty at Fishwick and 1 in the middle of the fairway at St Annes.
Did try 7 green dots but they kept wearing off.
