Living on a golf course as a non-golfer has it's perks. I get to mess with the golfers. When I find balls in the yard I either use an egg-bot to write messages on them or I simply paint them in various ways like flat black and put them back out to be pilfered by yard zombies (golfers) like they were long lost treasures. This is one of the easiest ways I paint them. Most all balls fit snugly in this marker and if held by the handle, it can be carefully dusted with spray paint. A very light coat produces the best jolly roger. I hope others can carry on the good work I am doing. :>)
