So in the previous 6 months I kept seeing this product pop up repeatedly through a bunch of people I follow on Instagram. It looked interesting,  so i gave them a follow. I entered a few collaboration giveaway contests, and followed their journey ever since. (I never won, btw 😆)

CLICK HERE for IG

Fast forward to last week. I played a round, and at one of the greens I reached in my pocket and realized my ball markee fell out somewhere. I usually keep spares in my bag, so I proceeded to stop at the next tee box and feverishly rummaged through my golf bag pockets to find one. After pulling out loose change, a few broken tees, a range token, and a half melted candy mint (all which work fine for marking your ball) I finally dug out a ball marker.  I wasted time, derailed my focus for a minute,  and was quite frankly frustrated from losing a cool marker. (Chubbs from happy gilmore)

That evening I saw another post from their IG where they had some new designs and decided to peep their site.

The Marker Locker is exactly what it sounds like it is. A locker for all your ball markers!

Yesterday I received my Marker Locker. It arrived in 2 days time.

Packaging 10/10 -

it came in a thick box, with their own brand label seal tape, it was wrapped in their brand tissue paper, and inside, the actual product box was wrapped in bubble wrap.  First Impressions are important,  but the care they took to present this speaks volumes to me about how they feel about their own product. It was impressive. 

Inside was also a card describing who they are, and it was hand signed at the bottom.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS and FEATURES - 10/10

The product box itself has descriptions on each side, and on the the box is a QR code that takes you to a short video on how to open it.

Of course before I scanned and watched it, I tried several times to just flick it open. And not wanting to break it before getting to use it, I finally scanned the qr code. 🤪 The video was definitely a help. Again, another detail that bumped up the score.  The Locker itself is made of a rigid plastic and has a carabiner and loop attached to the top to secure it to your bag, cart, etc.

From their site, and from their package description- 

Our innovative golf accessory is designed to offer secure, organized, and easy-to-access storage for your golf ball markers. With The Marker Locker, you can quickly pick the marker of your choice, play your round, and replace it until next time – no more fumbling in your pouch or golf bag. It’s time to enhance your golfing experience.

The Marker Locker has 4 poker chip sized slots, that incorporate a "push in, push out" feature to secure them in place. The cabinet section has magnets on all 4 sides to secure your magnetic ball markers to. The inside of the door has an additional magnetic strip to attach them as well. Here are its dimensions. 

Weight: 0.35 lbs Dimensions: 6″ H × 2.3″ W × 2″ D

EASE of USE - 10/10

 I gathered up a bunch of my ball markers to test this Locker idea out!

I only have one golf poker chip, so I tried it out in each slot. Push it in, you feel it secure in whatever tab system is locks into, push it again to release it. Sweet!

I then began setting my ball markers in place. I rearranged them several times, tested out how well they remained secure by closing the door and giving it a light shake to mimic what conditions it may go through on a golf course. Everything seemed to stay in place!

Now, 3 of my markers are quite heavy. So I gave it a good firm shake to see if they would fall off the magnet strip. I heard a rattle inside. Opened it up and only one actually did move, and it was the on-point marker. So, it was good sense to move it to the bottom magnet to prevent it from happening. 

Then I began thinking about what else can I put in here, hmmmm?

I decided to add a divot tool, and a divot tool/marker clip combo to it as well. Gave it a shake, and everything stayed in place.  Color me impressed!

Next was to clip it to the bag and test it out. With one hand I was able to unlock and lock The Marker Locker fairly easily!

 

VALUE -10/10

 Where the value comes into play (for me) is the amount of time and effort they put into the little details from the packaging and presentation of their product.

And this is what made me want to do a product review on it!

Pricing starts at $26.95 + shipping.  But if you buy 2 it's free shipping. They offer bundle deals too.

They have multiple single color options, LICENSED NCAA, Specialty ones, and I believe they are working towards offering corporate or event logo lockers (hint hint MGS logo?)

So, in conclusion,  I am going to enjoy NOT rummaging through my bag, or worrying about dropping my ball markers from my pockets. Plus I now have an easy way to store them too!

I hope you enjoyed my review of The Marker Locker.  Thanks for reading!!

Some key things I forgot to interject about the company when I did some research before writing this.

These were able to be presented in Las Vegas a short while ago. The biggest names in marketing, business growth, partnership opportunities,  and the likes of Shark Tank were all involved.  The Marker Locker is now on Amazon,  TikTok shop, small retail golf shops, and they just acquired a deal to be sold through Golf Galaxy!

 

They also have been featured worldwide!  Check out their blog!

If I had a space in the house or garage specifically just for golf gear, this would also go on a shelf, a desk, or hang from a rack, to store the Ball markers .

I think this epitomizes what MGS is to me. A place where we can share our experiences, educate each other and ourselves, and learn about products that others may not know about!

They make NCAA lockers too! They told me the other day they could have an Arkansas razorback one made for me at a little higher price than the usual price as they are still working to get more licensing to be able to offer certain things at a lower price. So check with them if they don’t have what you’d like advertised and they may be able to still get you what you’re looking for.

Haha... sorry.  I only say it because I don't have a team really and just never have in any sport.  I watch UT and Austin FC when I am around but don't stop what I'm doing to watch.  

Has always made it easy to talk trash to friends when it's game day.

I can teach you how to call the hogs but that would definitely give your friends ammo in the trash talking department..

I messaged the company on instagram and they told me they could make one for me it would just be a little more expensive or I could wait and they should have it sometime next year for the regular price

Anyone else have something they store their ball markers/chips in?  Wall display? Desktop? Jumbled mess in a golf bag? Center console of their vehicle?

Added a few more ball markers and chips to it today.  I donated to the wounded warriors project a month ago, they mailed me the chip, and it arrived yesterday. It fits perfectly in the chip slot. Also added the ones from Capitol Hill GC and my course here to it. And the Alabama Sheriff's tournament marker too.  At this rate I may need to get another one!

They are having a really good black Friday sale until December 2nd.

You can also now fill out a form and see/ request any of the NCAA teams they are licensed to sell.
