What's your go-to Ball Marker?

[tkeats]

My Dad passed away in January - Was a big Dayton Flyer fan, so I had Joel at Atomic Golf make up a UD ball marker, with a shamrock and my Dad's initials on the back. Also a small ode to my Dad, ball marker made in Brass, my Dad was born and raised in Waterbury CT, "Brass Capital of the World"!

 

^^ it's a 45 adapter for a record player

American 50 cent coin and a Buffalo nickel that Interlachen in Minnesota sells instead of poker chips.

I don't use it often or really at all unless it's a special occasion. It was my grandfather's that was passed down to me. Engraved is surname, I also share his full name.

so you're not concerned about the chemicals on the greens, like herbicides and fertilizers?

Usually only on the green for a second or two. But if I see the course has used chemicals recently I dont do it.

I have several but I did get a Lamb donut as a gift and have finally decided to use it.

I used to travel to South America for work. I use a Colombian coin that I brought back a couple years ago.

it's amazing the current custom ball marker and ball repair craze right now. I thought putter covers were ridiculously priced, but now.... i saw a custom ball marker on ebay with a SOLD price of over $800. really?

They aren't even made of any precious metal. Some cool looking ones out there and to each their own but wow that is nuts.

 

I did purchase a few Scotty markers a number of years ago - never used, but have since sold them off.

 

I lost my fav marker from Medinah 1990 US open. i use a few various coins i've collected from different countries around the world. I also use a red range token i came across somewhere years ago. typically rotate between a few coins like quarters, nickels and dimes. i avoid pennies as they can be harder to see on greens (brown greens!) Once i make a putt i typically stick with the marker and rotate if i make a bad putt. I also started making my own markers -- only gifted them so far, but will plan to make a few for my own use over the winter.

Watching some of this stuff get listed on Instagram for crazy prices blows my mind. Golf is already an expensive hobby, but these accessory prices are taking it to a whole new level.

yep crazy.... $810 -- $519, etc.... Tyson Lamb...

 

Mark up must be astronomical on these. If people are buying them for these prices they are doing something right. People are complaining over $500-$600 drivers but i can't imagine spending more than that on a ball marker. personal choice and i'm sure many have extra cash to spend on their vices so totally up to them. Crazy in my opinion.

Although i only have 2 Titleist clubs in my bag, I have a really nice Seamus Team Titleist silver dollar size coin that’s a favorite.

 

My huge Folds of Honor coin that’s 2 inches in diameter is a close second.

[strength115]

Well it looks like it’s time for me to upgrade, my regular quarter seems quite boring now.

Linksoul “Make Par Not War” from Seamus

At least you can use your old ball marker to acquire a new one

[jjthomp2]

seamus coin from Cal Club

[Dubbs3]

MGS Bethpage Black Warning sign marker. If anyone hasn't seen it, its the warning sign from Black with the text slightly modified, and the back of the marker is designed to look like the parking spot that you can park in for the walk up tee times.

Chelsea FC coin is the usual.

 

I have a buddy who is a die-hard Detroit Lions fan (poor guy), so I have a Green Bay Packers marker to troll him when we are playing match play.

[jkinger89]

I use a silver dollar. I can see it from a long way away, and nobody steps in my line.

[GolfMinimalist]

I've had one of these for several years, it's my fave.
