How do you mark your golf ball?

[ironmaster15213]

Just thought I'd start another thread to keep us from going stir crazy!! The question is how do each of you mark your golf ball to identify it as your own and how long have been doing it that way. maybe even what's the coolest marking you have ever come across?..................... I mark my golf balls with two circles around each number, kind of looks like a bulls eye. been doing this for about 8 years, also have a line from spinning the ball in a chec-go.

OK, I'll bite. I'm at work and bored. I mark my golf balls with two markings. One is the number 69. It has been my number for any sport team I have been on since minor hockey. The other is the letters G L J.

The neatest marking I ever saw was a pro who had his ball done up like a soccer ball. Kind of neat but I'm sure I'd get tired of looking at that for a while.

I don't mark mine....oddly enough.

Blue sharpie line over the lettering on the seam

I put a point between the Titleist logo and the number.

Playing ball...For 5 years now it's a Strata with a blue dot.
Coolest logo ball, my own logo of course!

[ironmaster15213]

Dan, That's one pretty cool golf ball, how many did you have to get made for them to put on the logo?

[buckylasek]

I'll say over 10 dozen, maybe more.

[Kilroy]

12 dozen (one gross) They are TopFlyte 3000
Cost last year was about $35 per dozen

Hey Dan, I think I have found a ball or 2 of your a Outaouais!

I mark mine with 3 dots around each number (both sides) so I don't have to move it to see if its mine.

Well for some guys like John Daly, it's useless because his ball is the longest one.

I think it was 2002 when I was presented with 3 of them found by OGTour members playing in groups behind me at Stonebridge.
Good Times!

I'm sure you arent the only one with those balls. Many balls found with that marking, on many courses in the OttawaGolf featured courses section.
We have even found them weeks after our visits,

Exactly, why mark it if you are going to lose it on your first drive!

[buckylasek]

Why being so bad with him, i think players that play for the show should be liked for it, the Pga tour only exists because people are watching the show, without show, these events may not exist.

Hey, JD is one of my favorite players on tour so you don't have to come to his defence Bucky....... besides, he will be the first to admit that he is less than accurate off the Tee, but on an open course, he doesn't G.A.S. LMAO

I saw one of John Daleys golf balls 2 years ago when he gave one to a little kid standing next to me at the 84 lumber tournament. Had that lion logo with the various colored maine and the type of ball was a so/lo which kind of surprised me that he would use such a low compression ball. His drive went 320 yards, carrying a bunker about 280 yards out. Ya, I was checking the length of everyones drives with a rangefinder. (inquiring minds want to know!! (ha, Ha,) I definitely have no life.)

[buckylasek]

neither do i, i'm obsessed by golf, i was obsessed by gear, but i'm trying to stop . I already have enough to be a pro :p

[Sakuraba]

I ususally use a black line, on either side of the lettering, and try to buy the 5,6,7,8 dozens rather than the 1,2,3,4, (althought the superstitious may fear the high numbers) my best was writing "stolen from Andrew Rowat" (me) all over the ball, which was quite distracting, and I lost that one before the round was over.

[buckylasek]

I found a ball, there was marked, don't touch my f* ball or i kick you in the a**.

Nice way for not taking it.

[ironmaster15213]

Wouldn't it be funny if your in the woods and you find a ball and on the ball it says "If found please return to such and such, address such and such.... I think I would return it just to see their face while I'm standing on their front porch with a ball in my hand and I'd probably ask " was there a reward involved? " )

[buckylasek]

When it's a ProV1, i always take it. When it's another kind of ball, cheap or what, i only take if it is in a good condition so i can sell on ebay.

[BullDog]

I write my initials "MFM" in a rather large (some say scribbly) kind of way on both sides of the ball. Above the brand on one side, below the number on the other. It's big enough that it will be seen no matter how it lies on the turf. Colour depends on the day.

I always use Titleist NXT Tours, and strike a red line through Titleist Logo
