How do you mark your ball (not ball marker)?

[sparadise]

I use a bb gun

Green dot to the right of the number and green smiley face in the empty section.

Circle the numbers and definition “pro v1 x “ with a sharpie 

[Big moose]

I put a blue circle around the number, all the guys I golf with know my mark so if they find one that I lost  they give it back. We were on a golf trip ,the group ahead of us was with us. I found 3 prov1xs, every one was from the group ahead of us. He had his company logo on them so I gave them back, so it pays to mark your ball.

[Bang60]

I draw a black 1inch square on it, never seen anyone else do that   

[GolfSpy_APH]

I normally just put a little JD for my initials. Nothing crazy... I'll get a photo and post it later today!

[King Cobra]

Golf Dotz Skullmania , unfortunately have just used my last ones and they no longer deliver to Scotland   

[golfgame]

Just a simple marking. I find a bright green sharpie and hilite (mark over) the entire brand name of the ball.  I find it very easy to see from a distance.

The number of guys that do nothing about marking their ball amazes me.

Three black dots. (Father, Son, Holy Ghost) I need all the help I can get. LOL

[GySgtFTL]

Different ways actually. I just bought a dozen AVX balls yesterday and marked each of them with a purple sharpie by coloring three dots on each side of the ball right under the number. That should be my last markings for a while though; I bought four-dozen Pro V1s with my name on them. Whenever Titleist gets around to shipping them.

I mark my ball with three dots close together like radio active as well as a putting line . I cover the ball # as well

333. I'm only half evil

[MisterT]

Sadly, very few I play with mark their balls... or play with the same ball each round. I use a single dot under the number and a line off both end of the model but also don't use the line for putting like the OP stated. I like the line for the visibility when identifying my ball from a distance. I rotate between three color Sharpies so I usually have the same number Pro v1 with a red, green, and blue dot and line in my bag, in play, and as a Provisional, if needed.

[Redhawk]

Easy. I use and buy golfdotz. Check out their website. They sell great decals to stick on your golf balls. I use the Swedish flag or the Bald Eagle.

I'm an engineer that plays golf.  I decided long ago to mark my balls with a blue Pi, some think it's a double TT, but it's the symbol for Pi.  Two vertical lines with a horizonal line on top.  My goal is to shoot 3.14 on each hole.  That would be a nifty score!

[Woody83]

I mark two balls when play starts, One I put an orange dot beside the number and a line on each side of the writing on the side of the ball.  The second ball I mark with 2 orange dots and the lines on the side of the ball.

I use a yellow ball, and use a Check-n-Go in red Sharpie, to get the "equator line" on the ball. Takes a little time to do a box, but in my mind, I feel it helps my game. I use it on the tee, and on the green for alignment. I don't get anal about the alignment, and change it 3-4 times, especially on the green. I just line it up in the basic direction, and play away. Easily identifiable from a short distance on the fairway, as I show my playing partners my ball on the first tee. Does it help my game? Maybe! At least, again "in my mind", I have done something for my game that takes away any question or doubt about equipment I am using, as I am a high capper. Confidence in my equipment is paramount to me, so I can enjoy my game. 

[Reed all about it]

I draw a smiley face in blank space. Its supposed to remind me that I'm having fun. Too often i find myself wanting to wipe the smile of the balls stupid..smug face.  

[officedog]

One red, one blue dot in the dimples on each side of the ball.

[Kevin W]

Hello. I just color over both numbers on my ball.

[Trihen]

Red line from number to number using an inkzall pen. it's very visable and not common.

[MIgregb]

As a homage to my geeky days being an Amateur Radio operator when I was a kid, I draw a line and 3 dots under the brand name on the ball. I've never seen anyone else use morse code on their ball 

[JohnnyU]

Well I do and don't do somethings. First I hit a Titleist Pro Soft ball. I really like the ball for my swing speed and game, luckily nobody else seems to hit that style of ball so the gives me pretty good isolation. Secondly, I do not place any marks on my ball because everyone else does. Thirdly, I am left handed so usually my ball is on the other side of the fairway from everyone else. 

[Team31m]

I just recently started marking a straight line that just extends the factory line and using that to help line a putt up. I feel like it helpedy start line, it's possible it was all in my head though. Lol

[Fractalgeek]

a Triangle of red spots on each side of the name (4 in total), with the point facing out.  Unique at my club.  I also buy dozens and mixes, so I can pull out a sleeve and guarantee they have different numbers

Even with a correctly identified mark, I ONCE played a wrong ball - a previously-lost one of mine picked up by another competitor, and used on the same day! Spotted it when I realised I hadn't been playing that number

[RCGolf]

I play Pro V1X in the number 00. I add a red number 7. Also add my initials “R2” in blue to the alignment line.

[JeremyD]

for fun, no mark. If I ever play competitively, I use a blue marker put a dot on either side of the number, then a blue line on both sides. As a teenager, I'd draw dirty things, but now not so much.

[Zatty]

black and red dots all over the ball.  haven't had one hit by someone else in years. 

[David Leighton Reid]

I write a 7 in front of the number to remind myself that I want to shoot in the 70's.
