JAMGOLF Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 Hello all, a few weeks ago Titleist had posted a question in their forum…”How do you mark your ball?” I personally thought this was cool and wanted to share mine. I use a green sharpie as not many others do and I make the T on Titleist into a J for my first name. The Mamba Mentality is a tribute to my favorite athlete of all time and I live by that motto. JAM in the middle is my initials. Emigh about me, let’s see how all the mygolfspy community marks their balls. This should be fun. Let’s see them… Quote Love & Live 4 Golf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RetiredBoomer Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 My Pro V1x comes with my name and lucky ball # 79 on it. That's why I play it instead of whatever is on sale at Dick's. No Sharpie required, I would think. BIG STU 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hacker60521 Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 I don’t. Usually I’m playing a ball with some corporate logo, so it’s an easy way to spot it. Otherwise, I just remember the number on my ball.

DaveP043 Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 I use a two black dots, widely spaced to each side of the number. Although lots of players use dots, I've yet to see anyone with marks close to mine. And I do it for every round, casual or tournament, I like developing the habit of doing things the right way. It makes me a tiny bit less likely to screw up when it matters. cnosil and BIG STU 2 Quote Irons Titleist T200, AMT Red stiff Rogue SubZero, GD YS-Six X T22 54 and 58 wedges 7-wood 5-wood B60 G5i putter Right handed Reston, Virginia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanGi Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 I usually make a diamond shape out of 4 dots. Color doesn’t really matter. Recently I’ve changed to yellow balls (to help me find them because, I suck). Haven’t marked them because I see very few colored balls where I play.

EasyPutter Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 (edited) Between the makers mark and the alignment line they put between opposite side makers mark, I draw with purple sharpie my stacked initials I originally created during a Green to Civilian seminar for military preparing to separate while in my final duty assignment at Ft Leavenworth KS. They said having a memorable icon would stand out in a stack of applications, so I doodled my initials initially (see what I did there?) in upper case and then in lower case trying different arrangements, and this is what happened when I essentially stacked the d g h It's been used in many applications like these business cards front and back: And haha that is a dated photo, with my mark on an OnCore Caliber ball! Best part is it takes about 4 seconds to put on the ball as a long J with an almost finished S on its side to form the shape. I often present my ball at the 1st tee so anyone playing with me will be able to spot the mark and it rarely is it not visible and I don't care if someone lifts it to identify.

zengineer Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 Nothing fancy, just an old drafting circle template, garden marker and time in front of the TV. I buy a few dozen and mark them before stashing with the rest of the gear so they are ready when needed. EasyPutter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golf2Much Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Ever since 9/11 I've marked all my golf balls the same way. I use two blue dots to represent the NYC Twin Towers and two red dots to represent the Pentagon and the Flight 93 crash site in Pennsylvania. It's my simple way of always remembering! Unfortunately, the message is sort of lost with yellow or other colored balls.

I mark a red line over the alignment line that comes printed on ball.

I have some I use them occasionally but for the life of me I can't seem them in flight and we already have leaves falling so all but maybe 3 months of the year I'm trying to help him find a yellow ball in yellow leaves. If my eyes could see it in flight it wouldn't be so bad. I mean it could be worse. The srixon divides give me epileptic seizures off a chip and when putting.
