Following Tim's question about the Odyssey poker chip marker, what do you use?

I've got a Callaway disc that came with a cap I got last summer and a similar Footjoy one from a glove. But the one I use most is one from Woburn Dukes course with a small spike to keep it in place.

I alternate between three- a titleist one that goes on my ball marker cap, a callaway one that goes with my divot tool, and a masters one courtesy of GM.

I always use metallic markers and just put several in my pocket. I have two different types of Royal Ascot markers, my Augusta one from GM a TM and Cally one from divot tools and one from Champ which came with some spikes.

I used to have two markers on magnetic clips on my baseball cap but it is amazing what people at golf clubs will steal :mad:.

I use a tee when Im on my own or in a friendly, purely cos I cant be a***d to open a zip on my bag and get a marker :eek:.

If I have gloves with markers on I use them :cool:.

Masters marker from augusta (gm gift, ta) a manetic villamoura one and also my ultimate pitchmark repair tool marker. each is nice and flat. I hate it when people use tees or something resembling a teacake.

I have a callaway divot tool with a magnetic marker attached. Its too hard to get out though so i stick the Masters one( GM gift, TA) :D to the other side and use that.

I also have a Manutd one I some times use.

I also found a very old coin on a green I might use at some point.

I use two old pennies from the 1960's - they are nice and big (much bigger than any current coins) and heavy enough to not move easily. I've tried little plastic ones but they just get lost in the collection of tees and divot tools in my pocket. They do need cleaned up a bit - maybe leave them in bleach overnight!

The glove ones are too small and as I remove my glove to putt they are not really an option anyway.

I got a badge for representing our regional league in a match a couple of years ago and the pin of the badge fell off leaving just the round badge of the league which is about an old 10p piece size and I have used it as my ball marker ever since and I get ever so panicy if I ever misplace it somehow thinking that it is a lucky charm!! Thankfully I aint managed to lose it yet,if I ever do I'll be straight on to the league secretary looking for a replacement!

The one that is magnetically fixed to my Titleist & cobra hats (cracking idea), the Callaway divot fixer one or the footjoy one on my glove. Failing that a tee.

I do have an old shilling and an old US quarter as well. It is basically whatever I pick out of my bag on the day although I always carry the quarter as it is a bit of a good luck charm (except the battery must be a bit flat at the moment)
