On the green, every little detail matters. From your backswing to your stance, confidence starts with preparation—and yes, that includes your gear. But there’s one small but mighty accessory that deserves way more love than it usually gets: the golf ball marker.

These tiny tools may be simple in size, but in the hands of a determined young golfer, they’re a quiet symbol of precision, style, and total Girl Boss energy. Learning how to use and choose the right golf ball markers can elevate your game.

What Exactly Are Golf Ball Markers?

A golf ball marker is a small, flat object used to mark the position of a player’s ball on the green. You use it when you need to lift your ball—usually to clean it, line it up, or move it out of another player’s way—without losing your spot.

Sounds simple, right? But trust us, once you get into the rhythm of using one correctly, it becomes a key part of your putting routine—and a fun way to show your personality.

The Rules Behind the Bling

Let’s be real: you can’t slay the game unless you know the rules. Looking fabulous is only half the equation—owning your knowledge is what truly sets a Queen of the Green apart. Here’s what every girl golfer should know when it comes to using golf ball markers like a total pro:

  • ✅ You’re allowed to lift your ball on the putting green, but only after marking its position.
  • ✅ The marker should be placed directly behind the ball before you pick it up—precision matters!
  • ✅ Once your ball is marked, you’re free to clean it and prep your shot like the confident Girl Boss you are.
  • ✅ When you’re ready, replace your ball exactly where your marker was, no shortcuts.
  • ✅ Don’t forget: you must remove the marker before putting—because finishing strong is part of your slay.

Remember: the marker must be artificial, i.e. it cannot be a natural object such as a stick, a branch, a real flower, etc.

Sounds easy enough, right? But here’s the secret: doing this consistently isn’t just about following rules. It’s about showing the world you know your game. It’s poise, it’s polish, it’s confidence—and that’s how true Queen energy is born on the course.

Choosing the Right Golf Ball Marker

There’s more than one kind of golf ball marker, and the one you choose should reflect your needs and your style. Let’s face it—your marker doesn’t have to be boring. In fact, making it your own is part of the fun. Here are some options:

  • Flower-shaped markers that bloom with personality.
  • Classic round markers in bold, empowering colors.
  • Markers with uplifting words like Slay.
  • Star-shaped markers.
  • Colorful designs in pinks, purples, blues, and glitter finishes.
  • Inspiring phrases that remind you to play strong, stay focused, and own your game.

Quick Tips for First-Timers

If you’re just getting started and feeling unsure, don’t worry—we’ve got you. Here’s a beginner-friendly cheat sheet:

  • Always carry your marker in an easy-to-reach spot (pocket, hat, glove).
  • Practice marking and replacing your ball during casual rounds.
  • Choose a marker that makes you smile—it’s your game, your way.
  • Want to stand out? Look for custom golf ball markers designed with girls in mind.
