I use my future wedding date. 7-21-09 in red marker on each ball.
 
At the moment I don't (but it's an excellent marketing campaign).

I actually mark my Bridgestone 330s with a smile under the logo. :smile: At the risk of sounding repetitive, I had heard the Bridgestone 330 is every bit as good as the Pro-V1. That's why I've bought a few dozen of them. It's early days yet but I can report after Friday's round - they are long. I also understand they're very good around the green.

Sorry JB if I've gatecrashed the Titleist forum. Pro V1s are great too. I'll make a hasty escape now so I can let this get back on topic. .

No where in my post do I mention Titleist. I play a mix of balls. Used to just play Pro V1x, but now playing TP Black, and some Nike balls they sent me to try out. This is not a Titleist infomercial. You would need a different forum for that....lol

Now this must be the most classic example of how marketing can get into one's head. You're right. Nowhere does it say anything about Titleist but I was sure I saw it there first up. Maybe I've been brainwashed by the ads. :hypnotized:

I get your drift re the other. Shame really b/c Titleist are an excellent brand (my opinion) but it is so revoltingly obvious what is going on behind the scenes there.
 
I sharpie a circle around the number of the ball.

Awww... isn't that sweet!

Boo Girl marks mine with my initials in bright pink sharpie. I happen to own a lot of personalized golf balls as well. So either way, it's easy to find my golf balls.
 
I put an A over the number with a blue sharpie. Simple but effective.
 
Black dot over the Titelist.
 
All my golf balls are now being marked "SPEC BMII". It's my brothers initials and his rank in the Army. I just hope I use up all the balls I've marked so far before he changes rank.
 
I'm mark mine with a blue star :victory:
 
I mark mine with a cattle brand that I designed, with my initials.
 
I put an "R" under the brand name of the ball I use.

But when the boss's wife p's me off (which is quite often), I write her name on it and "x" it out........then for some reason I smack that thing and instantly I feel better ;)

I mark my ball with a red dot under the logo and draw a black line around it with the check-go (helps with alignment when putting)
I used many different golf balls, but the one I use the most is the Prov 1x.
I experimented most of the summer with different brands;Bridgestone all of them, Callaway HX tour, Nike 1B, Tarlomade TP BL. I consistantly had longer drives and more spin on the greens with the Titleist. I use a gps for tracking distance. :glasses-cool:

Great idea--so long as you never play golf with her!

Very cool!!!

I never liked a bunch of markings on my ball, so I just use a very small black dot in between the words One & Platinum on the alignment line.
 
I make a simple little voodoo face on whatever ball I'm playing and use an uncommon color, usually orange.

Just change the font color to white and add some dots (and then give me some rep for telling you that!). :present:
 
Don't mark my ball much as I don't play tournaments often, just with my dad.

But when I do, I just put a diamond of dots around the #.
 
Never mark my ball. I play Bridgestone almost exclusively and I've never found one on the course nor have I ever played with anyone who also played them.
 
Hopefully with an imprint of the face of my driver. :D

Thanks. I figured it was a way to have him on the course with me while he's gone. One of the last rounds that I played this year was with him, my cousin and grandpa. It was a great day. :banana:
 
Bringing this one back up so that the new people can get in on it.
 
I dont?!? :confused2:

I will mark it if someone I am playing with is playing the same ball... but normally I dont mark them.
