Description

Ball marker and holder for golf

The present invention relates to a golf ball marker for indicating the ball position on a putting green and a holder for holding the ball marker.

When the golf ball is placed on the putting green, the ball marker is placed behind the golf ball before the golf ball is touched by hand.

Since the ball markers are generally circular plate-shaped, and because of their small size, it is difficult to find the ball markers when they are located at a distant location or in the dark, there is a problem of delaying time. Name: Ball markers equipped with LEDs (hereinafter referred to as "the prior art") have been invented so that the ball markers can emit light for easy discovery from a distance, and the ball markers can be formed in the shape of water droplets to produce the ball putting line. To match in the direction of.

1 is a perspective view for explaining the configuration of the prior art.
