Learning About Magnetic Golf Ball Markers

You may question how a person could place a magnetic marker on a golf ball and still have it do what it's supposed to do

. How could you attach magnetic golf ball markers to a ball and have it reach the next green? Golf balls aren't magnetic, so it wouldn't stay on, right?

Of course you're right, and the reality is that golf ball markers don't actually attach to the golf ball. People in golfing seem to like naming things for something they don't actually do. Ball markers don't mark balls anymore than a divot tool is used on divots. A golf ball marker is used to take the place of a golfer's ball so it doesn't get in the way of the next player.

Anyone who has played a round or two of miniature golf (probably most of us) knows that another person's ball can play havoc on your attempt to get around the plastic bumblebee. Your opponent's ball has stopped in a very inconvenient spot and it's now in your way of reaching the hole.

Playing a round of golf on a regular golf course isn't much different in respect to an opponent's ball ending up in an undesirable spot. There isn't much one can do at the mini golf-a-rama but grin and bear it, and hope you don't hit the other ball.

If you're on a normal golf course you are playing on grass. This gives you a bit of an advantage in being able to replace a ball with a marker. The disk goes into the grass, the ball is picked up and play can continue without fear of hitting another's ball and having their putt go astray. Many golfers will simply use a quarter they keep handy. There are also a lot of players that prefer something more personalized and they buy regular golf ball markers.

Golf ball markers are generally about the size of a quarter in diameter and roughly the thickness also. That is 24.26mm (0.955 inches) around and 1.75 mm (0.069 inches) thick. You can also find them in smaller sizes and they're made of metal or plastic. The main qualification is that they are thin, visible in the grass and won't impede the movement of a golf ball passing over it.

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.
