You pick up a ball marker about forty times in a round. That's than you touch your driver, more than your putter, and more than anything else you carry. Every green, every hole, every time someone is on your line.

And almost every one of them is rubbish. A pressed tin disc that came free with a sleeve of balls, a plastic thing from a corporate day three years ago, or a ten cent piece that has been in the bottom of the bag since you started playing. You handle it constantly and it feels like nothing at all.

That struck us as a strange gap. Golf will happily sell you a four hundred dollar driver you swing fourteen times, and it hands you the thing you touch forty times for free. So we made the opposite of a giveaway.

Every Marked marker is cut from solid iron and plated properly. The Signature is eight grams, near enough to a dollar coin, and you notice the difference the first time you pick one up off the green. They are 1.5 mm thick and they sit flat, so they stay exactly where you put them.
