‹(•¿•)› Always put some kind of identifying mark on your golf ball. Have a Sharpie pen handy. It can be lines, dots, smiley face … anything to differentiate your ball from someone else’s.

‹(•¿•)›  Every now and then you have to move your mark, often once a round. Use the same method to mark you ball. If you use a dime, be consistent. If it's head's up every time you mark the ball and you're asked to move the mark, place it heads down. That way there is no mistake and you'll know to move it to the original position and not be assessed a penalty stroke.

‹(•¿•)›  Wet a corner of your golf towel so it's handy to clean balls or clubs if needed. 

‹(•¿•)›  To save from breaking too many golf tees, move the tee around once it's in the hole to loosen the soil a bit. That reduces the odds of breaking the tee somewhat.
