Ball Identification - Ball Marking Gadgets Will Become Hot Market Items

I am in the trees looking for my ball, a TaylorMade 3 – it is my favored choice with two black spots on it. Huh! – Found it and I can just squeeze it out onto the fairway through that gap in the trees. Great well here we go – made it (sigh of relief).

“Excuse Me” a loud voice behind me calls out. I turn around to see another golfer hunting in the same trees for his ball – only he has come from an adjacent fairway.

“Did you happen to see a TaylorMade 3 with two black spots on it – did you?!”

OOPS – maybe I hit the wrong ball or is his ball still hidden in the trees somewhere?

This is an all too familiar scene to many golfers and often the balls are not marked at all and the user is relying only the made and number.

It is the responsibility of every golfer to clearly mark their ball for future identification during the round of golf – whether it be a scribbled “M” for Mary on the ball or a array of dots or circles that only the owner will recognise. It needs to be as unique as you can make it with the tools you have at hand – a pen or marker.

Is it that Important? – maybe not so much at casual and local Club level golf – but very important where money is involved or major competitions.

When it comes to International PGA top level events it is becoming a very hot topic of discussion.

A new era of ball marking fetish is about to explode onto the world’s golfers. The PGA associations around the world have ruled unanimously that some clear and unique form of identification of the ball is required for top level events.

A number of products are now in the market to meet this coming need from indelible markers, decals and painted on using some form of stencil. Individual professional golfers have taken on personal identifiers such as Rory Sabbatini’s Dragon.

The ball mark has to survive some harsh treatment and at the same time have absolutely no influence on the performance of the ball once it is hit. Sit back and enjoy the rivalry for spectacular designs to emerge and go to your local store or online store and check out these neat new products as the arrive on the market.
