Golf Forums - Do I Damage My Golf Ball?

When I get a golf ball I put my mark onto it and I also put an inch long blue line onto the ball, this is what I use to line up my ball when putting.

When I tee up I also use this blue line to line up with my target line.

Now that 'Winter rules' have come in I have also found myself using my blue line to line up my shots.

Having thought about it I think that doing this cannot help my golf balls!  It means that everytime I play a shot I would be striking the ball in the same place.  No matter which way I put the blue line I will only every strike the ball in two places.

Do you think this will damage my golf ball?

Well I for one am impressed by the fact that you are even considering the damage you are doing to your golf ball by always striking it on one of two point. 

I never keep my balls long enough to worry !  I obviously figure such potential damage is the worry of the person who finds my lost ball (or even the person after that...)
