Have you ever been playing a game of golf and your ball has rolled uncomfortably close to your friends, obstructing their shot? We know it may be tempting to leave it there and hope this nuisance wins you the game, but golf is a game of etiquette and your competitor deserves a chance to putt without having to worry about the placement of your ball.
This is where a golf ball marker comes into play!
Golf ball markers are used to mark the position of a player’s ball on the putting green and have been used in one form or another since the very early years of the game. They are typically small, flat objects (coins are a popular choice) as this guarantees they will not get in the way of another player’s line.
According to the USGA Rules of Golf, “The position of a ball to be lifted should be marked by placing a ball marker, a small coin or other similar object immediately behind the ball.”, you may then lift your ball and clean it or just hold onto it until your next go. These rules also state that if the ball marker is interfering with the play or stroke of another player, it should be placed one or more clubhead-lengths to one side.
However, be careful when placing your golf ball marker, as if the marker is misplaced or you move your ball to a different spot, you will be penalized and have to take a penalty stroke.
In recent years, golf ball markers have become individualised in both the professional and amateur game. Famously, Tiger Woods uses a 1932 US quarter dollar to represent the year his father was born and Phil Mickelson uses a silver dollar that belonged to his grandfather.
Here at gimmeballs, we offer a wide selection of golf ball markers, all of which can be customised with your logo, text or design.
