    I carry a red Sharpie in my bag and mark my balls before each round  I put a simple circle around the number  on both sides of the ball.  This might upset the balance for some pros but with an 18 index I haven't had a problem

  2. I use a purple sharpie, put a dot on both sides of "Titleist" on both sides of the ball. I haven't seen anyone use purple so its easy to spot my ball. 

  3. I write my kids names on each end of the aiming line - one on each side oldest to the left youngest to the right.  Color usually matches my bag color (So currently blue sharpie).

    I put my initials on my ball , so it's easy to identify. I play in a lot of tournaments and everyone else is using dots dashes and lines. Play well all.

    I put a big R which stands for Russ or Realtor, which I am. I get some strange looks but that gets me to say that I am a Realtor. I use a Lime Green Sharpie which really stands out.

    I use a green Tin Cup shamrock above the Titleist on one side and below the number on the other side.
  8. I mark my ball with a red dot above and below the titleist because guys with one long back line are hiding my Pro V1

    Three dots  in the form of  a V around each of the numbers. I usually use a blue Sharpie. I sometimes use  A Tin Cup " Cuban" template.

    Mine is similar to Andy's mark. A red dot on either side of the ball number and, a red line on the "seam".

  15. 2 orange perpendicular lines next to the velocity alignment line.

    With a Black Sharpie (when playing the Tour S Yellow Ball) I draw a small diamond on the ball to match my last name. If I'm playing the white Tour S ball, I always use a Red Sharpie.

    There are a ton of people who play Titleist at our club, so I always mark my ball.

    Use custom number 5 w/ my initials for personalization. Mark with a circle around number and 3 dots across top of Titleist script. 5 represents our family and the dots represent my kids.

    Really cool to read how everyone marks their ball!

    I once had my 2 dz.balls imprinted "Lost By Tom" on one side and "If found Please Call" followed by my cell number. I actually got several calls wanting to know if there was an award so I did not do that again. Now I use a sharpie to put a triangle of three "Carolina Blue" dots on each side one under each end of Titleist and one below the number.

    Kind of like Jay H. My golf balls are family dedicated. I have my kids and my father first initial on my golf balls. I also put a black T in between the arrows. Fun to show the kids and they have started their own ball marking tradition.

    Since I had a golf ball stolen from me on the course many years ago by some big redneck because I did not have a more on it, I now always mark my golf ball with my initials in green above the logo.

    I mark a Mizzou tiger paw by putting four dots over a slightly out-of-round circle, usually in hot pink Sharpie. I also use the Tin Cup Trailblazer paw print to get the same look. I use the Tin Cup breast cancer ribbon, too -- also in pink.

    I always use a black sharpie, pick a blank spot between the engraved markings, and put a small "MB" with the back of the "B" being the right leg of the "M". Then I always drive by putting the MB facing me, upright and easy to see. Kind of forces me to focus on the ball, to keep looking at that spot as I swing. Then of course, when the ball is downrange, it's easy to see from a cart whether or not it is mine.

    When I open a new sleeve, I mark one ball with 1 blue dot next to the number, the second ball with 2 blue dots, and the 3rd with 3 blue dots. That way if I need to hit a provisional ball during the round, (happens more often than I'd like, sadly) the balls are marked differently so there's no question which one is in play.

  31. I put a red diamond around the number on the ball and a red dot before the word Titleist. The number is special also.
  32. I just won a club championship with ProV1s! Sharpie is the official marker of the PGA tour! On the first ball I put a 1 dot on each side of both Titleist labels, a line under the ProV1 arrow, and a line on the opposite side of the ball from the ProV1 arrow. This is helpful in tournaments where so many players play ProV1s. On the second ball in the sleeve I use 2 dots, and on the third ball in the sleeve I use 3 dots.
