    Contemplating a change of Sharpie colour

    I just received my shipment of golf balls (Tour iX) that I plan on using this season and I'm wondering if I should change the colour of the sharpie I use to mark my ball.

    I've been using blue for the last few seasons, because we all know that blue is a cool colour. However, it's not a traditional "golf" colour.

    I had switched to blue from green, because the green mojo wasn't there. I'm now contemplating red because it is the colour of under par.

    Let's hear the comments for or against the red sharpie.

    Yes, I am bored right now.

    you are bored. I use lime green but was contemplating red as it is my favourite colour
    I got a fever. And the only prescription is more golf equipment.

    I use orange, red or blue... in this order.
    If you think it's hard to meet new people, try picking up the wrong golf ball.

    Stephane Dion liked red, and look where he is now, in the rough, not on the fairway. Go with purple

    Why don't you save yourself all this worrying about a sharpie color, and just get a nice crispy deep-fried turkey logo on all of those balls. That way the guy with the scuba tank who finds all of them at Loch March will have a good laugh at the end of the day.

    What you need to do is tape two sharpies together, so you get two colours

    Or I could just deep-fry the balls. It's supposed to be better than micro-waving them.

    If I were in such a dilema, I would purchase the rainbow 12 pack and cycle through them. Change it up, keep the golf gods guessing ;o)

    ... and you're worried that blue isn't "traditional" enough!

    I use purple, and if you find balls marked with a purple Atlanta Falcons logo, that's me. And there are a lot of them out there!

    I was wondering where all those balls I found with that logo on them came from.

    October 07 I hit the water and was surprised by the guy surfacing near where I had hit. My wife and I moved to her tee and she hit to the exact same spot - the guy surfaces again. Needless to say we handwedged to get out of there as quick as possible.
