I realize this is an old thread, but I have had the markers here for a few years now. At first, I just didn't like the look. I wanted a cleaner less obtrusive look out there. Now if one is missing while I am playing, i get upset. They do blend in well and I have grown to really like them. As for maintenance, you can mow over them with no issues. I notice most of the issues come from dragging the fairways. During the dragging process is when they get broken and pulled out. the rubber piece is not replaceable, you have to buy the stick with the rubber. I go through about a dozen sticks each year each year.
