As a fan of non-plain-white golf balls. I have to say when I saw these I thought "Eh?"

I got an email from Taylormade some months back to pre-order these. But they didn't really do anything for me. 

Then this morning, I saw that they are out of stock everywhere, and folks are now selling them on ebay for up to 100 bucks a dozen. One seller has sold over 30 dozen of them at $95 per dozen.

Hmm... maybe I should have bought some?

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

That's hilarious. 

When I got the email for the pre-order they didn't strike a cord with me at all. I mean I grew up in the 70's and 80's so obviously I played Pac-Man, but I don't feel the kind of connection in which I'd want Pac-Man paraphernalia. 

I got another email about "Limited" RedBull Racing TP5x golf balls. I felt even less connection there. 

My guess is TaylorMade (maybe others too) are going to keep coming out with these "limited edition" golf balls. Some will probably appreciate in the short term, some probably not. But my strong feeling is that none of them will be valuable in the long run. 

Hmmm... I'm not on Callaway's mailing list, but I just noticed they've got a crap-ton of "limited edition" golf balls as well. 

Callaway has seasonal ones: Valentine's Day, Halloween, Christmas (ugly sweater), etc.. 

I guess this is now a thing. ...

    • The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO
