I’ve never heard of anyone doing that. I don’t understand it. Unless people get the idea that their golf balls get headaches. Which I wouldn’t blame them.
I think the idea is that they forget which ball is theirs so they put something on it to show which one it is and since many have to take it as a blood thinner and others may take it for arthritis, the aspirin is the handiest thing in their pocket. But I don’t play golf so this is a guess.
It probably takes our Plugger a couple of doses of aspirin to get through a full 18 hole round. A Scottish greeting card claimed there is a direct relationship between the 18 hole golf course and the capacity of a hip flask and its drinking cup. Once you ran out of whisky, the game ceased to be fun.

Just don’t try it if the greens are a little damp.

A senior plugger might forget and put the aspirin instead of the ball.

You mark the spot so you can pick up the ball, clean it, and put it back when it’s your turn. It also gets it out of the way of other golfers.

With all the other stuff in a plugger’s pockets, an aspirin would not last two minutes before being ground to powder.

That’s so the wet green will dissolve the aspirin and he can claim he marked it and put the ball elsewhere.
david_42 about 3 years ago
Makes sense. The aspirin will dissolve when the sprinklers come on, so you don’t have to bend over again to pick it up.

Back when I played golf, I used any coin in my pocket (I preferred a dime or a penny).

Sooo… Pluggers are… stupid? It would get moist and dissolve. Is he going to use 18 aspirin? What a waste of money!

I might…if I could still play GOLF! :(

Now there’s a tactic I’ve never seen on the mini-golf course.

I guess they leave the aspirin. That is too far to bend down to pick something up (for me).
