Abstract: A wirelessly deployable marker system is provided that allows a user to remotely activate one or more marker flags from individual marker flag assemblies when marking the location of landmarks and obstacles on a lawn. Each marker assembly comprises an elongated marker flag supported by a housing and spring-biased within the housing to elevate the marker into a deployed state. A solenoid latch secures the marker flag within the housing when pressed thereinto, while a wireless transmitter is used to activate the solenoid and therefore release the marker flag from the housing. The solenoid latch engages the marker flag when the flag is within the housing, and allows a spring to elevate the marker flag from the housing when the solenoid latch is withdrawn from the flag. In this way, the flag is remotely deployable, and thereafter can be inserted into the housing manually by the user.
