Golf ball position marking device and method of use

15) A method for marking the position of a golf ball comprising:

• a) providing a golf ball position marking device comprising a putting green contact surface, a marker material dispensing port, a marker material dispensing actuator and a marker material reservoir, wherein
• i) the putting green contact surface is sized and shaped to permit stable positioning of the golf ball position marking device on a putting green in close proximity to a golf ball on the putting green thereby providing oriented alignment of the golf ball position marking device with the golf ball on the putting green;
• and
• ii) the marker material dispensing port is positioned such that when the golf ball position marking device is positioned in oriented alignment relative to the golf ball, activation of the marker material dispensing actuator results in the dispensing of a marker material from the marker material reservoir onto the putting green at a predetermined vector position relative to the point where the golf ball contacts the putting green;
• b) positioning the golf ball position marking device on a putting green in close proximity to a golf ball on the putting green;
• c) aligning the golf ball position marking device with the golf ball on the putting green;
• d) activating the marker material dispensing actuator, resulting in the dispensing of a marker material from the marker material reservoir through the marker material dispensing port and onto the putting green at a predetermined vector position relative to the point where the golf ball contacts the putting green.
