When playing golf in a group it is important to make sure you always hit your own golf ball. To avoid any confusion, you may want to mark or personalize your golf ball.
Step 1
Collect all the balls you wish to personalize.
If they are not new balls, clean them in mild, soapy water to remove any dirt or debris. Dry with a soft towel.
Step 2
Select a spot on the ball and, if using permanent marker, write or draw your initials or design. Some golfers use a single letter or combination of letters while others prefer a combination of dots, a line or a drawing.
Step 3
If you use a ball stamp, hold the ball in one hand while rolling the stamp over the ball to ensure that the complete stamp is transferred. Stamps are usually pre-inked with permanent ink. Depending on the type of stamp, you may be able to insert the ball into the stamp and press down to make the image.
Step 4
Let the marker or ink dry. This usually takes only a few seconds, but touch the ink spot with your finger to ensure that the ink is dry and does not smudge.
