Went home yesterday and looked at my hood, and tell me why I saw a scuff mark from what seems to be a ball on it???

I am so tight right now its not even funny ya'all... Hopefully some compound will take off those scatches.

Oh sorry to here Rich. This reminds be of when I use to play two-hand touch football back on the block and yeah I wouldn't be surprised if we left scuff marks on parked cars. Back then I didn't think too much about it but I can't say the same thing now. Hopefully your able to remove it on your own.
