[What do you use to mark your ball?]

I find it interesting how many people use foreign coins. I like it.

Love the Mizuno marker, what size diameter?

[What do you use to mark your ball?]

I saw this on Reddit and it got me thinking about ball markers.

A long time ago, after winning a scramble with some friends, I was paid my winnings in coin. We never played high stakes and it was funny. What they didn’t realize is that I play the long game, and anytime I tee’d up with any one of those guys, I pulled out one of those coins, a half dollar, to mark my ball.

I’ve played various ball markers since then, but I started using a half dollar from 1997 upon my return to golf from hiatus.  The year has meaning to me, it’s a great size marker, and it reminds me of the good old days golfing with my friends.

Any other stories out there like mine?  What do you use?  A quarter you found in your car?  A tee (pet peeve), nothing, a purchased marker/coin/token, etc?

 

[Whаt іѕ the bеѕt FREE GPS gоlf арр?]

I use 18 birdies simply because it was shown to me by a playing partner upon my return to golf a couple years ago. It’s free, simple to add playing partners (even if their not on the app), and has basic stat tracking without paying for premium. 

The GPS is fine for finding basic yardage from the tee box, but it’s hard to beat a rangefinder for accurate yardage closer to the green.

I also question the accuracy of the handicap on this app. 

I’ll definitely follow this to see what others suggest.
