I noticed a couple of weeks ago when I went to the PGA Tour Superstore in Frisco that they had a limited supply of Titleist golf balls, clubs, bags, etc... apparently the stores were selling ProV1's below MSRP and Acushnet pulled their account... looks like I'll have to shop elsewhere for golf balls

It wouldn't be due to selling below MSRP. MSRP is like $58... and nobody sells them for that. Maybe they violated the MAP policy (minimum advertised price), but not MSRP.

I was told the same thing by an employee at the Myrtle Beach store a couple of weeks ago.

He said that Acushnet wouldn't even pick up the phone for Arthur Blank. ( unsure how he would know that)

Sounds like Titleist wants to elicit some groveling from a retailer. Whatever dispute the two parties are having, I wouldn't expect it to last long.

In my UnderArmour Links stand bag...

You're right, MAP... From what I understand they were selling them for $36.99...

I was just in the one in Scottsdale and bought some ProV1's. But I bought them at normal price ($45), not $36.99.

They were selling them for $36.99 which is why their account was pulled... Doubtful they'd keep doing it, especially if they want to sell Titleist and FootJoy in the future

This situation doesn't surprise me really, titleist as a company (from a retailers perspective) sucks. Shit, titlelist won't even let us sell Pro-V1's, and I work at a damn sporting goods chain that has over 100 stores. They have some contractual obligation that requires X amount of PGA professionals on staff in the store chain or something (whether they do anything or not)...yet Target can sell them (my manager took pictures and sent them to corporate for proof lol) We sell Nike One Tour/TourD, Callaway Tour i/ix, Taylormade TP Red/Black, Bridgestone B330/RX....yet titlelist won't let us sell a pro v 1...but we can sell NXT Tour, HP3, DT Carry/Roll and so on. I guess basically, they have brand power, they know they have said power, and will abuse it if you do anything that bothers them lol, including god forbid selling their cashcow of a golf ball for less than $45/doz.

Found some more info from avid golfer magazine:
Update: After doing some additional research, it seems this incident
stems from the grand opening of the Naples, Florida store in December
2009. Acushnet pulled the account around Christmas. Titleist had a
Holiday promotion $39.99 MRP VERY STRICT as they were giving the
accounts one free dozen per six purchased for the promotion. All
accounts were told it would be very strict.

PGASS had them at $36.99 for their grand opening. Titleist got wind of
what PGASS was doing and yanked their account, stating "Acushnet's and
PGASS business models are not compatible."

    • Hitting some good shots on my golf trip. It's good I can tell when I hit better shots the way I want to swing the ball versus when I use an older swing. Shockingly, the short game has been at worst, not harmful to my game. I am using similar feels to the full swing, in that I try to get my hands down. I've been nipping the ball clean off the turf. 
    • I was laid off two months ago. Good severance, a 90 day layoff announcement regulation the company wanted to avoid so technically I'm still on the payroll for a few weeks, and a bunch of banked PTO, so I'm in a great spot and working on a startup idea I've been batting around with my brother for a while. That means I've got time to get to the gym! I'm at like 60-75 minutes 5x a week of strength training, and either a run or a bunch of time playing soccer or tennis with my daughter on the weekends. Stronger than I've been in forever. Up ~5 pounds of (noticeable!) muscle!
    • Do you have examples of exceptional scores versus their established handicap indexes?
    • Day 539, April 23, 2024 Mirror work once again. When I get back to swings, I'll just do it A. LOT.
    • A bit of background. The Southern California Golf Association (SCGA) runs an annual event known as "Team Play." It is a wildly popular match play competition where Men's Clubs across the region put together teams of 20+ golfers together to compete against other clubs in a 16 vs. 16 match. In any given year, approximately 80-100 clubs will participate. Each club is grouped into "pods" of 4, and will play 6 total matches - one home and one away match against the other 3 clubs. The winning club from each pod advances to the Team Play Playoffs - a single elimination format - until a winner is crowned.  Antelope Valley Country Club just advanced to the championship match for the 3rd consecutive year. They won the championship in both 2022 and 2023.  Based on my review of the match history from the past 3 years (linked below), they have won 21 consecutive team matches. Keep in mind, these are handicapped matches, so this is not just a case where a group of sticks bands together to dominate the poor amateurs other SoCal clubs. Even if these guys are grinders who never quit, play their best under pressure and routinely putt the lights out, the law of averages still say that a streak of that nature is mathematically impossible.  Is there any plausible explanation beyond institutionalized sandbagging throughout the club?
