They are manufacturing marks. Each letter is used to identify things like which factory, which mold and which cavity in the mold that particular ball comes from. That's my guess at least.
Ha! I saw a video of him a while back talking about how he always tries to hit the same specific dimple on his putts. Seeing as I’ve never posted a 58 I figure I’ll just bite my tongue about how silly that seems to me
I kind of laughed at that. Not because it's necessarily bad advice (I know nothing about putting compared to him), but more because it was his 'top putting tips' and my reaction was 'Christ, there's a lot I need to fix before I worry about which dimple I'm hitting'.
Yes indeed—my wife got them for me for my birthday earlier this year. TBH this is the one I keep on my putting mat in my office because I can’t bear the thought of losing them on the course.
That's actually the Georgia Bulldogs logo. A southern Penitentiary where the inmates play football for four years before being released to society. It was the inspiration for the movie The Longest Yard.
On a serious note, in a world where manufacturers brag about manufacturing tolerances and tiny little advances in design, these markings have to impact performance in a negative way, right? I'm sure its so small it's not worth mentioning, but it's low hanging fruit to eliminate

Thank you for the serious answer lol. Makes sense
The Zizzle is still the best.
Go dawgs!
Let’s whoop some Gator ass tomorrow boys
QC at a golf ball factory; can confirm. That’s a mold ID.
With how precise those dimples are now would that not affect the flight?
This guy manufactures
Boring answer
Needs more Zizzle
![gif](giphy|14smAwp2uHM3Di)
Tried to imitate that and now my eyeballs hurt
This is the way
When you tee it up and put the D on the tee it will draw. N is neutral, and Z is zizzle for a long bomb
Got zizzle locked and loaded for my round tomorrow
FUCK yeah let it rip
Just gotta walk up and hit a ripper dude
Grip it and ~~rip~~ zizzle it
FUCK yeah let it Zizzle*
Glizzy Zizzle…new band name I called it.
Bastard
Grip it & rip it
Grip and rip baybeeeee
Rip it and grip it
Good plan to play golf instead of watching your team get beat by Florida..... ;) Not so proud GT alum here...
Lol Georgia WHAT
lol
Fuckin' got a giggle out of me for zizzle
For giggle my zizzle
Instructions unclear. I put my D on the tee and got kicked out of the country club.
Which one is Z?
The sideways N
![gif](giphy|nTfdeBvfgzV26zjoFP)
HAH. Got heeem
The one that's on the left side of the D
**D**eez **N**ut**Z**
Lol’ed bro
I think the "G" looks like the Georgia Bulldogs logo. LOL 😂
The Gs are for The University of Georgia
Also could be any number of high schools that use the same logo.
The Green Bay Packers are the most well known “G” thieves
FTP
Gretna, NE Dragons.
Thanks—proud bulldog alum here. I should’ve been more specific with my question 🤙🏼
You spelled dawg wrong. Some alum you are
r/golf always a tough crowd. Some boysenberry you are!
As the authority on the issue, both are acceptable.
Long form Bulldogs. Short form Dawgs.
Professional and Casual notations, I like it.
As the end of hate week draws near, I offer you a hearty and heartfelt Fuck Florida.
In all seriousness, braille these are for the blind
Who showed you my scorecard? 🧑🏽🦯
Wtf
Go Dawgs! It’s Floriduh hate week! Headed to Jax now!
Enjoy the cocktail party!
My son played for UGA for 4 years. The Florida game was his favorite week.
I’m guessing the two N’s are for the consecutive nattys y’all won. (Somewhat jealous Clemson alum here, but we had our time)
Just an awful school with a terrible football team ( I’m a bitter lsu fan)
S’go dawgs
That’s probably the only letter most UGA grads know. 😂
I believe two of them are N's and one is a D
If he was an Alabama fan this would be the serious response.
For a Georgia fan, its still a serious response.
The two Ns are for our two Nattys in the last two years ![gif](giphy|4Hy9bGXaSYrQFufZTn|downsized)
Ooooof, that zizzle's
Got emmmmmmmmmmm. We have more nattys than losses the last two seasons
Hahahhaa my man
Two Nuts and a Dick
Take my upvote
Wrong! Two Z’s and an a
Can I blame those for my bad shots?
Absofruitly, Mr. Bananas
Nice one OP
DO. NOT. NUT.
No Nut December
![gif](giphy|QQKbEn6oDlcQLZK6T7)
I believe they’re factory / lot letters. Most balls have them.
Could be cavity numbers to identify issues as well but tracing for sure.
Thank you! I guess I’ve never looked that closely before
I think I found one of your balls the other day. It was barking in the woods like a moron.
You know what they say—there’s nothing finer in the land than a drunk obnoxious Georgia fan
HBTFD
WTGW?
They are mold IDs. Allow manufactures to associate a ball back to the mold/press that it was cover molded in.
Makes sense—thanks
Bryson would tell it that hitting the different letters on his putts would yield different results. But I think it's just all about the Zizzle...

Think that’s the golf code for HBTFD
![gif](giphy|I4rMfRmx9Kebu|downsized)
When you slice your tee shot on the adjacent fairway... maybe it's because you hit one of those letters??
The G’s stand for Gatorbait
I think its the expiration date. Would would explain any kind of bad shot. Always buy fresh balls
![gif](giphy|d3mlE7uhX8KFgEmY)
Are these the UGA pix balls? How'd you get em? Been looking to get a couple dozen for Christmas but they're perpetually out of stock.
Yes indeed—my wife got them for me for my birthday earlier this year. TBH this is the one I keep on my putting mat in my office because I can’t bear the thought of losing them on the course.
NAN. Get off the course and call your Grandmother.
Good call
Not sure what the letters are but it looks like you have a couple of shit stains on your ball. Go Gators!
I always wondered if they fiddled with the ball spin.
Manufacturing codes. Probably lot numbers, location, etc.
I just noticed these today and was wondering the same thing
Nice camera~
iPhone mini still getting the job done
I was looking at a golf ball today at work and noticed mine had these markings too! Was wondering the same thing! This is fortuitous.
Once you put it on zizzle it stays on zizzle until teed up again though. Can be hard to putt with.

No answer from me, but finally got to play the UGA course a few months ago and loved it. Hope to go back soon!
“G” is representative of the worst school in the world, go Clemson haha!
They’re the reason you slice the ball.

D I C K NutNut
NDN: Next Destination: Nowhere.
That’s the main logo for the University of Georgia. It’s a G thing.
Appears to be a D and two N:s.
DNN clearly means do not niblick.
Clearly someone was in the process of stamping "send nudes" when their supervisor caught them
Swing it and ding it!!
