Popular Post Kegger 449 Posted October 29, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted October 29, 2017 Thought I'd share a DIY Ball Marker display I made a while back. I had been looking for one online, but never found exactly what I was looking for, which was a display with a full magnetic backing. All the displays I found had a single magnet per marker which I didn't want to deal with (and were also rather expensive). Instead, I took a picture frame and lined the entire glass with magnetic tape from home depot. I'll be needing to make a larger one pretty soon as I'm running out of space! Picture frame laying around the house + $10 worth of magnetic tape = a display for all your little golf course mementos! 21 Quote In the Sun Mountain 4.5LS 14-way bag: Driver: M2 10.5° :: Fujikura ATMOS Tour Spec 6X Blue Fairway: M5 19° :: Fujikura ATMOS Tour Spec 7X Blue Hybrid: TS2 21° :: Mitsubishi Black 80G50 Irons: P790 (5-AW) :: KBS Tour 110 Sand Wedge: CBX-2 54° :: KBS Tour 110 Lob Wedge: RTX-3 58° :: TT Dynamic Gold Putter: Metal-X Milled #2 Ball: Tour B RXS Link to post Share on other sites

tommc23 9,449 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I was thinking about taking a ball for every course I play and doing something like this but a ball marker display looks a lot easier. I like this idea also and it doesn't sound very hard or time consuming Sent from my SM-G950U using MyGolfSpy mobile app 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ThatKyle 188 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 This is awesome. Other than pencils, markers are about the cheapest thing you can collect from a course and your display look is much more tidy than the standard giant ball display most guys have on their wall. 4 Quote Lefty in the Mitten State currently carrying: TM '17 M2 9.5 w/ Fujikura Pro XLR8 · Exotics EX10 15° w/ GD Tour AD Stiff · F7 HY @ 20° · Forged Tec Black 5i-AW w/ Project X LZ 6.0 · MD2 56°+ 60° · Method B2-01 · Kirkland Signature · Clicgear 2.0 · Course photo albums: Boyne Highlands + Bay Harbor (Michigan) | Wailea Gold & Emerald (Maui) | Forest Dunes (Michigan) Link to post Share on other sites

Funny you should mention the standard giant ball display(s) on the wall.... That's what the ball marker display is sitting on top of! I grab a ball and marker from all the courses I play. I do admit that the markers are MUCH easier to deal with, and is the route I'd go if I had to do it over, but I'm too far in to turn back now with the ball displays... 2 Quote In the Sun Mountain 4.5LS 14-way bag: Driver: M2 10.5° :: Fujikura ATMOS Tour Spec 6X Blue Fairway: M5 19° :: Fujikura ATMOS Tour Spec 7X Blue Hybrid: TS2 21° :: Mitsubishi Black 80G50 Irons: P790 (5-AW) :: KBS Tour 110 Sand Wedge: CBX-2 54° :: KBS Tour 110 Lob Wedge: RTX-3 58° :: TT Dynamic Gold Putter: Metal-X Milled #2 Ball: Tour B RXS Link to post Share on other sites

Other than pencils, markers are about the cheapest thing you can collect from a course and your display look is much more tidy than the standard giant ball display most guys have on their wall. I keep scorecards from each course I have played, started about 10 or 12 years ago and I have about 150 so that is inexpensive but there is no way I can display that many scorecards. I like this idea in the OP. 1 Quote Driver - Epic Flash Woods - Mavrik 3 Wood & Epic Flash Heavenwood Hybrid - Epic Flash 4H Irons - Rogue X 5 - AW Wedges - CBX2 54* & 58* Putter - ER2 Rangefinder - Bushnell Pro XE Ball - MTB-X Bag - 2020 Bag Boy Chiller Cart Bag Link to post Share on other sites

Which are proudly displayed also in two shoe boxes and one ball display case.. Lol MDGolfHacker I'm with you. Although I didn't really realize I collected them until I found a stash from pretty much all the "cool" courses I have played. Now I consciously keep the cards. I don't do anything with them, but I have them. 2 Quote Driver: Tour B JGR 9.5* Recoil 460ES cut to 45" 3W: Tour B JGR 15* Recoil 460ES 3H, 4H: Tour B JGR 19*, 23* Recoil 780ES 4-PW: Tour B JGR HF2 Modus3 Tour 105 AW: S5 52* SW: 588 LW: MD3 Putter: Stroke Lab Marxman Bag: Tour B Stand Bag Ball: Z-Star Pushcart: BigMax iQ+ Tester Starting Driver Speed on PRGR Monitor: 102 mph Final Driver Speed (end of Level 2): 120 mph Link to post Share on other sites
Kegger 449 Posted April 24, 2018 Author Share Posted April 24, 2018 It has finally happened... I am out of space! I ordered a pack of magnetic sheets, that I think are the same thickness as the magnetic tape I used previously, and have another, larger, frame ready to go. Will post the new and improved display when it's done! 3 Quote In the Sun Mountain 4.5LS 14-way bag: Driver: M2 10.5° :: Fujikura ATMOS Tour Spec 6X Blue Fairway: M5 19° :: Fujikura ATMOS Tour Spec 7X Blue Hybrid: TS2 21° :: Mitsubishi Black 80G50 Irons: P790 (5-AW) :: KBS Tour 110 Sand Wedge: CBX-2 54° :: KBS Tour 110 Lob Wedge: RTX-3 58° :: TT Dynamic Gold Putter: Metal-X Milled #2 Ball: Tour B RXS Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my iPad using MyGolfSpy The Home Depot magnetic tape is what I used for my first one. Coming in rolls made it difficult, but taking my time applying and letting them sit overnight with a pile of books on them did the trick.. BUT.. I found a better solution...

Kegger 449 Posted April 25, 2018 Author Share Posted April 25, 2018 Here is the newly made display! I played around with the strength of the magnets and found that the ball markers will still hold through a thin lens cleaning cloth. I may make a trip to a local hobby shop and see if I can find a thin material to line the magnets to hide the seams, but then again, you don't really notice them once the markers are on... And speaking of seams, notice that there are only 4 magnets on this one! Finally found a thick magnetic sheet (60mil instead of the 20mil found everywhere). They come in 8x10 sheets with an adhesive backing (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B2SE5KA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). It was much easier this time around finding thick enough sheet magnets, so if you are going to make one, that's the way to go. EDIT: It doesn't look THAT much bigger in the first picture, but once I transferred all the markers.. WOW! I will have plenty of room for quite a while! 3 Quote In the Sun Mountain 4.5LS 14-way bag: Driver: M2 10.5° :: Fujikura ATMOS Tour Spec 6X Blue Fairway: M5 19° :: Fujikura ATMOS Tour Spec 7X Blue Hybrid: TS2 21° :: Mitsubishi Black 80G50 Irons: P790 (5-AW) :: KBS Tour 110 Sand Wedge: CBX-2 54° :: KBS Tour 110 Lob Wedge: RTX-3 58° :: TT Dynamic Gold Putter: Metal-X Milled #2 Ball: Tour B RXS Link to post Share on other sites
