Ball Marker

A small, flat disc or coin used to mark the exact position of a golf ball on the putting green when the ball needs to be lifted for cleaning, to clear another player's line, or for other rules-related purposes. Ball markers ensure precise ball replacement and maintain fair play by preserving exact ball positions during green play. Understanding proper ball marking procedures is essential for golf etiquette and rules compliance, preventing disputes and maintaining pace of play. Ball markers come in various designs and materials, often featuring course logos, personal designs, or magnetic attachments for convenience. Proper ball marking technique involves placing the marker directly behind the ball and replacing the ball in exactly the same position.
