I was playing in a competition with a junior lass her dad is a Chelsea fan, I was putting my Spurs marker down, she putted so well I told her to keep the marker as it’s lucky and to show her dad 😂
Our group was saying the other day wouldn't it be good if you could have a small can of foam like they do for football free kicks. 🤣. Little spray behind your ball, when you replace your ball you sweep it away with your putter. Dragons den here I come😜

Go for the green ones, not only will your playing partners not be able to see it, neither will you once you've took a look at the putt from the side or behind the hole.
The poker chip ones are daft. The marker(s) I use are all thin and flat, so if anyone does hit a wayward putt it should roll over it. I don't know why the poker ones exist. You might as well use an up-turned saucer or a coffee cup as a bloody marker.
I think the rules are quite clear, as a simple cut and paste shows :
14.3 Putting Green
14.3a Ball-marker
Ball-Marker.
An artificial object used to mark the spot of a ball to be lifted, in the form of a small plastic disc with a securing spike. (see Rule 14.2), using the procedures for replacing a ball under Rules 14.2b(2) and 14.2e. The marker shall be no more than 20mm in diameter, and no more than 1mm thick. Penalty for Marking with a coin, tee, Millennium Falcon or other small object : General Penalty Under Rule 14.7a. Penalty for Marking with a poker chip : Disqualification Under Rule 17.7c.
