Driver Scuff Marks

[acemandrake]

What is it called when someone has scuff marks on top of their driver?

 

I've seen it called "dummy marks" but I thought it was called something else.

 

Thanks!

Some people call them skymarks.

[SmiterOfPv1x]

Always referred to them as "a*****e marks ". As in some a-hole put them there when I let him hit my driver. What I always leave off is that I'm generally the a-hole that let me hit my driver.

[Bomber_11]

Sky marks is all I've ever heard.

 

"sh*t sorry dude, sky'd your driver!"

A used driver. Everyone has these. I refuse to believe otherwise.

Trash. Now throw it away. you can't look at one of those all the time.

Continental Golf calls them cash cows.

[SixtySomePing]

I've heard them called 'crown scuffs'

Idiot marks.

 

I haven't personally tried it but I seem to recall reading a thread on here that said those Mr. Clean Magic Erasers might help. DO NOT try them blindly based on this reply - I am getting older and I might be getting it wrong. Maybe do a search online asking for suggestions for removing idiot marks from driver crowns.

"Idiot marks"...I think that is what I was trying to think of...Thanks (Medic) & all others for helping my senior mind!

This is what I've heard it called.

[St Jimmy]

Meguiars rubbing compound buffs them right out!

Don't use it on the face of the club.

[Loki]

I call the person that put them there not a very good golfer.

 

Sky marks.

Thanks!

it is, and will always be, "snow on the roof"

 

as in, "ahhh crap. I let that guy hit/borrow my driver and he put snow on the roof."

If you are going to get mad at a guy for putting a mark on your driver if you let him borrow it may I recommend you not let him borrow it?

[nix]

actually, on second thought, I think that the guys who get mad at these marks actually love when someone else puts one on there because they can point out the 5 marks on the top of the crown and blame it on that one guy who he let borrow the club for a single swing. No mention of how that guy put 4 marks on with a single swing though.

So this isn't completely related, but all this talk about lending clubs made me think of this time, a long time ago, when I was a junior golfer. I joined up with this middle aged guy and I noticed that he had one of the new drivers that the pro shop was selling. I can't for life of me remember what it was, but it was a dark red/ burgundy color with a dark composite face, I bet it was one of the first composite drivers. Anyway as we were discussing the new driver he asked me if I would like to hit it and I say yes! I probably swung hard to see how it would perform and I just crushed one, it was awesome, on the next hole I ask to borrow it again and I take another good hack at, this time it just duck hooks and it felt super funny, I looked down to see what was going on and the face was completely caved in! I couldn't believe it and being young I had no idea how to handle the situation. I apologized and he of course said no problem... Luckily the pro shop replaced it after the round but for the last 4 holes or so I felt so bad for destroying the guys brand new driver!

Don't "Birdshit" my club is all I've ever heard...lol

No, everyone DOESN'T have these. I cannot stand to use a wood that is scarred like that. I am VERY selective about who I let hit my woods for this very reason. Would have to get it refinished if it happened. I guess I'm a bit anal.

In for the running for Passive Brag of the Year - caved a face as a junior golfer?

 

What on earth do you game now that your full grown - a solid billet of titanium? I want you on my scramble team this summer :taunt: !

It's called "letting your girlfriend hit your club at the range because she says 'but why can't I hit that one?'"... my hybrid fell prey, and it's now my backup.

Ha, I do swing hard, but I don't think the COR would be very good on billet titanium :) I think something was wrong with the club before I ever got a hold of it. I just thought it was a funny story about lending clubs, or hitting someone else's. To this day I still will not borrow someone else's club! And if you pay for the plane ticket I'll play in the scramble, I can hit the ball a long ways, although finding it is sometimes difficult.

It's called an excuse or a reason.

 

Reason to buy a new driver.

 

Excuse to explain to the wife why said new driver was purchased.
