golf pencils

Tiny course pencils

Golf pencils are the short, thin pencils—typically three or four inches long—provided at golf courses for keeping score.

They're also ubiquitous at miniature golf courses, libraries, polling places, and anywhere disposable writing implements are needed.

They usually lack erasers and come pre-sharpened: She grabbed a golf pencil and marked her ballot.
