  • Patent number: 7559858
    Abstract: An accessory (1) to be used for indicating the location of a golf ball on the field of play, wherein a brightly-colored waterproof piece of material contains a pocket (2) holding an object of the same or similar diameter as a golf ball, this pocket being either elasticized (2b) at its opening or sewn closed to prevent this object from being dislodged. To prevent movement of the indicator, weighting means (4a) can be sewn along the indicator's outside edge (3). A hole (8a) can be provided for easy hanging from a key chain or elsewhere, and markings (9) can be placed on the body of the fabric. The indicator is placed as closely as possible to the played golf ball without moving it, then retrieved for later use.
