Thick Ball Markers

[Bratty]

I just use my Spurs ball marker no one wants to go near that ?

I have a friend who's a Chelsea fan. I refuse to pick his Chelsea marker up for him! I won't touch it.

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 ?

I don't have any poker chips.

I have several roulette chips, however. All have very pretty colours and motifs.

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?

You came here with a ridiculous valuation of your company, no business plan, so on that reason I'M OUT

A story from a few years back

Lyme Regis had a notice on their board from the head green keeper

It said

" Would players please stop using £1 coins as a ball marker"
With a £1 coin cut cleanly in half stuck to the notice.

I’m the same with Spurs and Liverpool ones.

If you're nowhere near anyone's line why bother marking it anyway?

You must thinking about all those players without line up lines on the golf balls.

 

[jim8flog]

I feel like I'm missing out not having a giant ball marker. The inconvenience must be offset by some benefits?

Where can I get fitted for a new marker?

The Bellagio in Las Vegas is reckoned to be the best place.

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.

Found these two on the course yesterday. One did not fare too well with its encounter with the mower.



I don't think little plastic ones do much damage to a mower, if lost.
I might put the Srixon one on ebay, because I've got no use for it.

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 like to use a massive clock like the one Flava Flave wore from public enemy

Playing with Flava Flav is really useful for timing ball searches in the rough and maintaining pace of play.

Tesco are giving away free ball markers with every purchase of milk. Various colours.
I've got two blue ones already.

This is my marker, I often get asked about it. It’s my daughter’s finger prints cast in bronze.

Yeah, but you use pink castle tees, so I'd expect nothing less! ?
