I’ve tried markers, stickers, and stamps. Markers are easy but can wear off. Stickers can look nice, but if they peel, they’re a hassle. Stamps are fun but need precision.

Stamps are great if you want a uniform look! You can create your custom designs and just stamp away. Be careful with ink; some can fade in water.

Absolutely! It helps avoid confusion on the course, and it also adds a personal touch. I like to use a bright color for better visibility in the rough.

It’s interesting how each golfer has their own marking style! I’ve heard of people using different colors for each club, making it easier to distinguish during play.

I also think marking helps with visibility. I once lost a ball in the leaves because it blended in. Now I use neon markers to avoid that disaster!
