If you've been hovering around the world of golf you may have overheard the term "magnetic golf ball markers" and wondered why something like it would exist. Attaching anything to a golf ball would have it soaring like a lead stone and be totally contrary to the idea of having it arrive as close as possible to the next hole.
The reason such a product exists is because it doesn't actually attach to the golf ball. What these are used for is marking the location of a golf ball so that it can be picked up and moved out of the way of other players. The golf world has a knack of naming items in a way that often defies common logic. Divot tools aren't used on divots and golf ball markers don't put marks on golf balls.
If you have ever played miniature golf (and who hasn't?) you know that your buddy's ball often ends up in a bad spot, at least as far you making your shot is concerned. The other ball has managed to be directly in the way of you making it past the windmill blades and through the tunnel.
Playing golf on a full size course poses the same type of problem. Your partner's ball lands in a very inconvenient spot for you to have a clear shot at the hole. With miniature golf you have to take your chances and hope you can avoid your buddy's ball. Maybe they'll give you a free stroke for having such a rude ball.
On the grass at the golf course, however, you have another option and that is to have your partner place a marker to show where their ball landed. They put it down, pick up their ball, and you're clear to play on. Many players simply use a coin as an indicator. But if you like the idea better, you can get yourself something specifically designed for the purpose: golf ball markers.
Most golf ball markers are about the size of an American quarter and about the same thickness. That's 24.26 mm (0.955 inches) in diameter and 1.75 mm (0.069 inches) in thickness for the technically minded. They also come smaller, about the size of an American nickel or penny, and are metal or plastic. They don't take up much space and when placed in the grass, another ball can easily roll over it without it causing an impediment or altering the roll of the ball.
These are nifty little devices that a person can carry in their pocket. You can also pin or clip them to your golf bag, hat or most anything else handy. Magnetic markers come attached to clips and various types of divot tools: which, if you're in the habit of loosing your divot tool, having a ball marker attached can give you another reason to keep track of it.
No matter what your tastes are, you will find magnetic golf ball markers to fit them. American college and professional football and baseball team logos are popular, as well as those of the Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force. You'll find cute animals, flowers, butterflies, shamrocks, athletic wear logos and collectibles from pro golf competitions. You can get them covered in Swarovski crystal and have them custom made. Most anything you like is available for marking your spot on the green. |
