do i have to buy golf ball markers to mark my golfballs or can i just use a penny o something?

Question

what else can i use to mark them?

Answer 1

Do not use the markers they give you on a glove. Pennies can be bad sometimes hard to find. Use a silver dollar or 50 cent piece works very well. The bigger the better.

Answer 2

any small round object is ok. Welsh Pro Ian Woosnam got a penalty one time for using his hotel room key in a tournament. It should be something regular in size and flat. I have a dime from the Cayman Islands that I use. I like to collect the ball markers from the courses I play. The are cheap and easy to store.

Answer 3

Pennies aren't too good because the color doesn't contrast well enough with the green. You can use a quarter, nickle, dime, etc. A lot of gloves have buttons on them that snap off and become markers. There is no marker law.

Answer 4

You can use whatever you want. Rules say you SHOULD (not must) use a coin or similar object. I prefer a manhole cover.

Just kidding...the best thing is a dime. It's small, so it's not in the way. It's shiny so it's easy to see.

PS....I can't stand those guys that use gigantic dubloons with their favorite college mascot....TACKY!

Answer 5

Yeah your ok using anything flat, do not go out and buy a silly marker!

Answer 6

No you dont have to buy them but you can get some pretty cool ones if you do. I use a dallas cowboys star as my marker it different and it always starts debates on football.

Answer 7

Had pretty good luck with a video token

Answer 8

I prefer a dime myself because they are thin and small.

Answer 9

You can use whatever you want... just make sure it stands out and is easily identified.

Answer 10

Use any flat object you want. No regulations on that.
