ISOLATION TIP: Grab a Sharpie

ISOLATION TIP: Grab a sharpie and get drawing. The rules of golf don’t say that you have to put a mark on your ball, but it’s a very good idea nonetheless.

Rule 6-5 states: “The responsibility for playing the proper ball rests with the player. Each player should put an identification mark on his ball.”

Adding your initials or a little smiley face could stop you playing the wrong ball, resulting in a lost hole in a match or a two-shot penalty in strokeplay.

We’d love to see your ball markings.
