Placing your golf ball on the exact same spot that it was in when you marked it, is required. You are allowed to mark your ball with any object, in any manner you choose.
The USGA guidlines simply state that the ball mark should be a coin or an object shaped like a coin. It also recommends that the object you use should not distract other players.
The marker should be placed immediately behing the ball. Do not touch the ball until the marker is in place. Once the ball is returned to it’s original position and the marker is removed, the ball is considered to be “in play.”
