I carry two dimes - a 1993 one and a 1995 one - the years my two sons were born, to mark my ball on the green. I just lost the 1993 one this past Sunday :sad: so I need to find another one.

What do you use to mark your ball on the green?
 
I use a magnetic ball marker attached to my hat from my home course. Frankly I think this is a fantastic innovation, since it makes getting out and putting away my marker to be a no brainer. There's just no fumbling around for it anymore.

It may not be sentimental or sexy but it's great to use.
 
I use a 2000 Sacagawea coin.

whatever coin I have in my pocket but I'm on the lookout for something unique
 
I use a magnetic ball marker attached to the divot tool. Makes things easier for me.

I used to use a dime, and if I had a good putting day would try and make sure I kept the same coin for the next round. However, I'd usually end up emptying my change into the Dunkin Donuts tip jar.
 
About any coin, would like to find something especially cool.
 
I use an old silver dime with the Mercury head on it.
 
I use the magnetic marker attached to my Pebble Beach divot repair tool.
 
I use a $500 dollar poker chip from a long gone hotel/casino. Lots of wear and tear that critter.:cool:

Ha! I have a friend that uses the same thing.
 
I have a SeeMore ball marker that I use.

I use a magnetic ball marker that's in my glove. I like to charge the gloves to my brother's account at his club.
 
I have an Arkansas Razorbacks ball marker and also one from Augusta National. Both fit on a magnetic ball mark carrier that clips to my hat brim. I also have a "challenge coin" from my youngest son's SWAT Team that I use occasionally.. My friends call it the "hubcap".

Just some little white thing that used to snap to my glove. Now I got a new glove so I just stick the ball market in my pocket.

But of course, I never need a ball marker. I hole out from 200+ every hole...isn't that what everyone does? :p
 
Most of the time, I use the ball marker that's on my cap. It's just a PGA Tour logo.

I've also got in my bag: A 1976 quarter, a 10 peso piece, a Sacagawea dollar, a Susan B Anthony dollar that all see rotation
 
Those snaps on the gloves are handy but I find it equivalent to to placing a small pebble on the green. If someone uses one of those in my line I ask them play out to get it out of the way...and then...I miss the putt anyway! Ha!
 
I use a coin they gave me when I played at ka'anapali. It looks like a bathroom token.
 
Just about any ball marker, even the thinner ones can impair another's putting line. It's is always a good thing when placing a marker that is in another's line,, to adjust the marker position using your putter. Then re-adjust the mark back to it's original position. I do this, since I want to see what the other guys putt does, so I can adjust my line accordingly. I use the a larger marker because I can find it faster in my pocket. :cool:

Use the glove ball marker, the magnetic one, not the snap on one, I'm about to make the transition to the marker on the hat.
