No, you may only mark your ball when it is on the green.
Golf is one Sport where the player with the lowest score wins. The player that hits the ball the least amount of time, and holes the ball has the better score.
Ball markers are used in the game of golf. When the golf ball is on the putting green it may be lifted and cleaned or sometimes it must be moved to allow another player to putt. To remember where the ball is, a ball marker is placed behind where the ball was located. Ball makers can be any small flat object such a a coin or plastic counter.
If player A has a golf ball on the green and player B hits a shot from off the green which hits player A's, there is no penalty, Player A replaces their ball as close as possible to where their ball was prior being hit, and player B plays their ball as it lies. However, if Player A has a ball on the green, and player B plays a shot on the green, if the balls collide player A must replace their ball and player B receives a two shot penalty and plays their ball as it lies.
