    my hand slipped and i put an idiot mark on my driver anyway to get ride of it , its pretty  bad does titleist  resurface drivers it's a 910 d2

  2. I am not aware of refinishing clubs, however you could trade it in in a couple months to get a new 915 wood! Great excuse!!

    I did the same thing a couple of years ago with my 910 driver.  It just made me sick because every time I addressed the ball afterwards, all I would see was the scuff mark right on the top of the crown by the alignment mark.  I was able to take some automobile polish and remove a large portion of the "idiot mark" but it still left some visible scratches.  I filled in the scratches with a black marker and then polished off the excess again.  It was still a little visible, but much better!

    Fortunately, the 913's came out a couple of months after this so all was good again with a new 914 driver in the bag (fortunately I have managed not to get  similar mark on the 913 but came pretty close a couple of times.  As Chris said, the 2015 drivers are coming out shortly and this is a perfect opportunity for an upgrade!

    I let somebody hit my brand new 913 driver for a work event last fall and they put a nice scuff on the crown. It drove me nuts until I bought a new 913 a few months ago. I would wait til the 915 comes out in a few months.

    I did my best with polish too on an old driver. It helps a little, but in the end I just stuck a nice car window decal over the top of the crown. The idiot mark was not that distracting since the sticker drew away most of the attention.

    Some might think I would lose a yard or two from added weight from the sticker, but I gained 10 yards from sheer awesomeness of a personalized driver with a cool graphic.

    :p

    Try buffing it out with some automotive polishing and/or rubbing compound.  If that doesn't work, try some 600, 800 or 1000 grit wet sand paper.  Follow it up with wax.  If the scuff mark is deeper (down to bare metal) try some touch up paint.

    If that STILL doesn't work to your liking, a club refinisher should be able to restore to a like new finish...and it is going to be cheaper than buying new.

    I've heard that a Sharpie can also help with the fill-in on these type scuffs

    continental golf..... They do great work and for $50-60 they re-paint the club as it came from the factory.  nothing worse than an idiot scuff to look at every time you tee one up.  hope this helps.  www.continentalgolf.net 

  9. if it's not too bad, try buffing it out with some toothpaste on a wet microfiber cloth.
