Monthly poll 1 - how do you mark your golf ball?

[Gazboy]

I buy my balls from the Cancer Research shop for 10p a ball and most of them are already marked, those that aren't get given to my 4 year old son to 'pattern up' however he sees fit.

Paw Prints, Loads Of Them. LOL

 

[CMAC]

Every mother tends to do dots nowadays so I put something on it that no-one else does......I think.


I used to also do the tee peg marks in a balata.

 

[Rooter]

I have 2 stars. No idea why, got a free ball marker with my bag and that's the mot interesting shape.. I want a personalised marker from tincup, although not sure what I want yet.....

 

[pokerjoke]

Always 3 green dots by both of the ball numbers.
And my childrens names Ryan and Tayla next to the dots.
Dots seem to be very popular,im sure its because of the dimples

 

[Imurg]

A circle, usually black, around the number.

 

[SocketRocket]

An upside down 'V' over the number.

 

[pbrown7582]

I put 2 either side of titleist and one underneath number on both sides of ball colour depends on which sharpie I grab.

 

[Leftie]

Initial over the brand name, each side.

Friend of mine puts a number in front of the printed number e.g. "playing a Titlist 54".

Like this...

Except the P is a flag and not a P

 

[swanny32]

Whatever takes my fancy why I bash out the Sharpie. Usually a mixture of dots, number 32, or my initials.

 

[Achilles]

I use a green dot above and below the logo on both sides, and another at the end of the alignment line on the ball.

 

[Robobum]

A "line em up" line down the prov1 x part and ROBO written on the other side.

 

[Wolfman]

I put my telephone number and "If found please return to"......

 

[Junior]

Always initials for me..... only because about 5 years ago a cat 1 golfer at our club told me thats the best way to do it as someone else had played his ball the previous week. Apparently they had both marked their ball with a red dot next to the number. Weird how stuff sticks !!

 

[USER1999]

Pink line around the equator, and a black cat over the number.

I still managed to play someone else's ball recently though.

 

[sweatysock41]

I mark mine with an anchor below the numbers.

 

[Andy808]

I colour in the brand name in red marker pen. Very rarely I can't see one of them in the rough.
I also have a line for lining up putts but that's in black marker.

 

[Andy808]

I put my telephone number and "If found please return to"......

I'd send a ransom note!
