Liberty Ball Markers Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 My need to tinker has grown... I've moved past putters and started making ball markers. Just a 1 1/4" copper slug, 1/8" thick, stamped with all sorts of fun stuff, and torched for interesting color. I made a few for my regular foursome just to get some practice. Each one either has a guy's nick-name or something they always say on the front, and the backs are all the same aside from the actual name. What do you guys think? Anyone else make markers?

Liberty Ball Markers Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 I haven't done many either - everything you need is on eBay, and fairly cheap. I would say that 3/32 or 1/8 inch characters are plenty big - you run out of room quickly! If you have a buffer, these could be polished. The one pictured is not - fairly rough finished and torched. Copper is easy to torch, and ends up with the random colors as it cools.

Johnnyzen Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I'm a big fan of unique ball markers. Also like them larger...this diameter sounds about right. (My current go-to marker is a Ben Franklin silver dollar). I'd definitely throw one of these in my bag for play. You going to experiment with other metals/materials?
