Something I Never Thought I Would Say ? I Would Pay Money for This Ball Marker

By David Dawsey PE Esq

Yep, I would actually buy a set of the golf ball markers disclosed in a recently published patent application. The application published as US Pub. No. 20100125008 titled ?Golf Ball Marker,? which describes the invention as:

The golf ball marker has a top side contoured and textured to represent a portion of an actual golf course and a flat bottom side. The flat bottom side has an indicia-receiving surface portion. The top bottom sides are separated by a perimeter that is shaped to enclose representations of the terrains of the portion of the actual golf course. The contoured top side may bear a name of the portion of the actual golf course in lettering, with or without a panel. The lettering is preferably proximate to the perimeter and arranged conformally to the shape thereof. The lettering may be cut in relief. A coupling, which does not extend below the bottom side, is optional. A decoration in or representing the golf hole on the green may be provided. The golf ball marker may be manufactured based on digital data either provided by or selected by the customer.

Great idea, but won't it be a little odd carrying around 18 different ball markers?
