Abstract A device is provided for marking the position of a golf ball on a putting green while the ball has been temporarily removed from play to allow another golfer to putt towards the cup. The marker is in the form of a flat disc formed with a central integral peg extending from one face thereof and a layer of non-woven fibers bonded to the opposite face thereof. The peg is pressed into the ground to temporarily anchor the device in position with the fiber covered face exposed. The fibers form a soft mat similar in texture to the surrounding grass so that the direction of a putted ball will not be materially altered should the ball roll over the device. A pad faced with resilient hooks is provided for temporary locking connection with the fibers of the locking device. The pad is provided with a layer of pressure sensitive material which will allow the pad to be mounted conveniently on an article of clothing such as the visor of a cap or the like.
A golf ball marker and holder, comprising in combination a. a substantially flat disc, b. a peg extending perpendicularly from one face of said disc, c. a stratum of fibrous felt material bonded to the other face of said disc, and, d. a pad having a surface area greater than that of said disc mountable to a selected support surface and formed on one face thereof with a plurality of flexible, resilient hooks for detachable engagement with said fibrous material and a layer of pressure sensitive adhesive material on the other face of said pad.
