Why do golfers put a mark on their ball?
because when other golfers are putting if they hit your ball its a penalty stroke against the person whos the ball belongs to Also a lot of golfers will mark with a straight lie or dot so they can line up the ball more accurately for tee shots and putting.

In golf what is a marker and what do you use it for?
A marker is a specially made piece of plastic or metal which is usually circular and sometimes coloured or personalised. It is used by golfers on the green to mark the position of their ball, they do so to allow them to clean their ball before putting or get their ball out of another players line. To mark the ball you place the marker directly behind the ball and pick the ball up, it is also best to tap it down a bit, then when it is your turn to putt you simply place the edge of the ball at the edge of the marker and lift it. You can also use tees or coins as markers.
What are golfers putting down on the green before a putt Im not talking about a ball marker I mean what theyre doing RIGHT before a put They put something down look at it then pick it back up?
The pros are usually aligning the markings on their ball with the intended target line. This might be the brand mark on the ball, or a line that's been drawn on, or maybe it's a balance indicator. To do this legally, they have to mark the position of the ball first, then align it, then remove the marker.

Not exactly. If his mark would be in your path, he can use any measuring device, (standardly his club length) to make the mark out of your line, and replace it to where it should be before he puts. He has the right to pick up his ball. AlthoughI guess you can always ask!
