A dummy mark is when the golfer drops his/her club on the putting green surface causing an indentation which can cause roll deflection for the ball. This was originally identified during the British open by a Scotsman playing an Englishman for the title in the 1936 contest. The Scotsman politely told the English bloke, after flinging his putter after missing his stroke, look you what you have done, made a" dummy mark".
