|  cheap gate marker idea (not tennis balls)
we were looking for an alternative to axial markers and found these: http://www.windycitynovelties.com/74...ml?ProdRec=Yes and http://www.windycitynovelties.com/64...ml?ProdRec=Yes they are multi colors but they are nice and small yet easy to see. At least in the 1 1/2" variety there seems to be 3 colors so it would make it easy to mark each course in a different color. |

|  my son and I built a little course in our front yard on the side of the house and we used sprinkler marker flags..just cut the stem down to the size you want and place into ground...cheap $8 for 100 we use blue and pink..

Ive got 50 or so tennis balls and several axial markers. The club was looking to buy more axials because they are smaller than tennis balls and fit areas nicely but, shops want $20 for 6 gates.

I just seen some of these in a gumball machine last yesterday and thought the same thing. They were .75 cents for one though.. Thought it could get a little spendy at that price. (Whatever happened to gumball machines being a quarter?)

the "gate markers" came in... they are actually 1.75" according to the packaging and my tape measure. They can be written on pretty easy and they are very pretty and sparkly. As far as poppers go... they suck. Maybe 2 in the package actually works.  sitting on an axial for size comparison  $35 worth of markers  |
