Marking your ball

[palindromicbob]

Golf in the UK is far easier than Thailand. In Thailand there are that many hazzards, water, OB, coconuts, monkeys, snakes, jungle that you can on a bad day lose several balls, in the UK i only use Pro V1s I've bought brand new, now in Thailand ive decided I'm only using second hand balls. Thats why this subject originally came up. i tried getting the permanent ink off which worked in most cases but some bozos covered the balls in all sorts of marks. Anyway that will give you something to bang on about..

Marking their balls in the way that works for them doesn't make them bozos.

Anything that contains ethanol or petroleum should remove these markings. Suggest you try methylated spirits or the sprays you can get from opticians for cleaning spectacles.

It does when he can't get his cheap balls without marks because those selfish bozo's who paid full price for them marked them with their own personal marks. Selfish I call it, not thinking of Scuba's requirements.

Tin Cup shamrock in green or just 3 green dots with a line under for a stem if I can't be bothered with the tin cup thingy.

Three dots in the dimples and a line for stem for me too, at the top right of Titleist wording.
A wee putting line may get drawn if I'm needing a bit of putting confidence

various marking such as 1 or 2 dots in green, orange, blue or a big "B" on the ball

I like to spell out Adam in morse code......either that or 4 blue dots to the right of the name

I don't want to be inconsiderate to anyone who finds any of my balls so I'm going to get one of these to mark them :thup:

I superimpose my initials MHA on top of each other into my own personal brand mark

How dare those "bozos" exercise their right to do whatever they please with their own property. They should learn to consider your needs.

Those are the ones I use, brilliant and so easy to use.

What is the ink quality like on these stamps? Is it the same as a sharpie?

I too would like to know how well the ink lasts from these markers. I bought a ball marker, but the ink fades quite quickly. I find that sharpies don't last much longer before I have to re-mark the ball. I suppose this means my golf is improving as I tend to get several games from one ball rather than use several balls for one game.

They fade, but still recognisable after a couple of rounds.

Here's a new one on the left, and the rest are the used ones in my bag.

Cheers. They look difficult to touch up without causing a mess

True, but I've never had any need to re-Mark a ball. Maybe I don't keep them long enough

Wow, you keep a ball long enough for the ink to fade. I doff my cap to you.

Stamp a few more marks on them and give them to Scuba!
