Ball markings

[bgolfing]

3 green dots and line from the middle to make a shamrock. Saw Darren Clarke do this and thought it was a cool idea.

I give mine to my niece to decorate, the only problem is that sometimes she gets a little too carried away and I get a few back that are solid colors so those go in the shag bag.

EXtra fine point Sharpie pen, write different numbers on a new sleeve of balls.

Inside a larger dimple close to the logo on both sides, different numbers to be ID should I need to hit a provisional, also ID the one that I used already.

It's easy to do and yes, you could see the marking well and last the live spam of the ball.

i draw a big star over the logo and number of mine. i play muni's most of the time and i find that people are less likely to take your ball if they cant see the logo clearly.

As soon as I got good enough that I stopped losing balls, I stopped marking them.

 

I did find a rather interesting "mark" last week at my course. While walking from my cart to the green, I saw a Pro V1 X in the rough. When I picked it up, I noticed it had a drawing of a large wanger with a pretty good sized set of balls. I got a good laugh out of it, and an even bigger laugh when the teenage girl came and informed me it was hers.

 

Needless to say, she was awfully red in the face.

i just mark mine with a black or green dot on the other side of the "Bridgewater" logo of my balls. My friend had a cool mark where he put 3 green dots then a stem looking thing for a clover.

I would love to have a buffalo on the ball like Sergio Garcia . Any idea about how that can be done .Stencil or something like that .

I guess if she can hit an 'X' she can draw whatever she wants to on it!

I write my first and last initial in a big a letter as will fit on the ball in the white space between the name/number parts. I didn't use to mark but now I figure it annoys anyone who finds my rarely lost balls.

[Bogeyman82]

I didn't know that people put that much thought into marking their balls. I just put an "R" on them somewhere because my name is Ryan. I figure that the odds are pretty slim that someone will be playing the same ball, with the same marking, in close enough proximity to hit my ball.

[dizzydog]

I switched to the White Noodle Ice balls and dont need to mark them. They stick out pretty good and are easy to find. Love em!

[etime80]

I mark mine with a pink sharpie by copying over the titleist logo and adding LNK (girlfriends initials) under the pro v1x alignment aid. Looks pretty cool and no one else really uses pink. :)

[scall1968]

how do you guys mark your ball? because whenever i pull out a new ball i daont really just wanna pu a dot on it.

 

I stole this from Darren Clarke, I mark my ball with a green shamrock.

[TwoFours]

I mark it with an XLIV. Means 44 in roman numerals which is my old basbeall number and birthday (april 4th)

[sanddog28]

I make sure to get number 3 balls and add a 1 in front of the 3 on both sides of the ball, it has always been my number... never worried about the superstition thing and being an army brat moving frequently I was 99% sure that my number would always be free

[oregongolf]

I've always marked mine like this

 

 

[fussternut]

i simply write "mine not yours" =)

[mchepp]

I write my initials above the logo. Not very creative, I know.

[BENNYSUPREME]

does any one just put a straight line on it.

 

best one i have found is, i'm not lost

i'm just hiding :clapping:

[Xtacles]

well i'm an IT major so I use a bit of computer on my mark, html coding. <> </>

I've never seen this copied. In html it means start action: < > and then stop action: </ >

and yes i do play precept laddies

[silliwilli]

I colour in the O in Taylor Made with a red marker and draw a straight alignment line over the red tp marking on the side!

[Volgolfer]

I've been coloring in the "T" on the Taylormade balls in Orange...

[mjc694]

i, too, use the clover, but i place it between the titleist, and the number, and i make the clover in orange. My dad had been marking his ball with a green one for about 20 years, and i wanted to copy him, and be different at the same time. Saw the darren clarke witb a few years ago, and immediately emailed it to my father.

 

seems, from reading this thread, we arent that different after all.

[BFC]

I line over the HX Tour for aligment and fill in the "V" logo with what ever color sharpie is handy.

[skyball11]

I currently play D2 Feels and color in the crosshairs on the alignment aide with a red Sharpie.

 

Just did this with a box last week.

[perlguy9]

Green dot right of the number, silver dot left. (I love those silver sharpies)

[Veritas]

I finish off the Nike symbol into an R for my first name.

[golferallan]

i used to put a finnish flag on the opposite side of Prov1x in blue obviously... just recently put two dots on the sides of the numbers on both sides example •4•

[kblakeney35]

I write a little dash next to the number, on the left. ex. titleist -1, or one under

 

i like that one :good: im gonna have to start using high numbers lol

[GolfTitan]

I black out the number and put "X"'s on each side of the number
