Golf Ball Markers

A ball marker marks the exact position of your ball on the green so you can lift and clean it without penalty. It helps maintain pace and etiquette by keeping putting lines clear. Replacing the ball precisely on the marker preserves fairness for everyone.

Yes, magnetic markers are permitted as long as the marker itself is flat and does not interfere with a stroke. The magnet is simply a storage feature for a hat clip or tool. Always place the flat marker on the green rather than the clip.

Coins and other small, flat objects are acceptable under the Rules of Golf. Purpose made markers are easier to grip and see, and often sit lower to avoid distraction. Many golfers reserve coins as a backup and use a dedicated marker day to day.

A hat clip keeps your marker within easy reach so you can mark quickly and keep play moving. The magnet holds the disc securely during the round but releases cleanly when needed. It also reduces the chance of losing markers in pockets.

Many sets combine a magnetic marker with a divot repair tool for a compact, multi function solution. This keeps both essentials together on the green. Check product details to see if a marker is included or if extra discs are available.

Some brands offer initials or logo options on selected markers and gift sets. Personalisation makes a great prize or present and helps avoid mix ups. We do not currently offer this service, but may be something we offer in the future.

Yes, novelty markers are designed to be flat and functional while adding style. Quality enamel or printed finishes resist wear and stay visible in different light conditions. Choose a size that is easy to find but not distracting on a partner's line.

Most professionals use flat, branded or personalised markers that meet tournament rules. They favour low profile designs that sit close to the surface. Many also carry a spare in a pocket or on a clip for convenience.

A low profile marker is less likely to affect a rolling ball if it is accidentally left in a putting line. Medium sized discs are easier to pick up with gloves or in wet weather. If you prefer high visibility, choose a brighter colour without adding extra height.

Place the marker directly behind the ball and replace the ball in the same spot after cleaning. If asked to move your marker off a partner's line, align it with a distant object, step a putter head length to the side and move it back before you putt. Always confirm you have returned the marker to its original position.
