Damn the Torpedoes Ball Marker

Golf fortune favors the bold, those who say Damn the Torpedoes...

The phrase "Damn the Torpedoes" stems from the historic Battle of Mobile Bay in the American Civil War. Union Admiral David Farragut encountered deadly underwater mines as his fleet moved to blockade the Confederate port in Mobile Bay, Alabama. Despite the peril, Farragut urged his ships onward. When one of his vessels sank after striking a mine, he boldly declared, "Damn the Torpedoes! Full Speed Ahead!" This fearless command rallied his fleet, inspiring them to press on through the danger. Their perseverance led to victory, symbolizing unwavering resolve in the face of adversity. Farragut's words remain a timeless testament to bravery and determination in pursuit of triumph.
