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."

    • On the subject of teenagers in professional tournaments there is a kid (Kris Kim) who is a member of my club in England and is at my old school. He’s 16. He’s playing in the pga tour event in Texas this week. Shot 69 yesterday for T31 and is -2 today through 5 holes. T55 and on the cut line. I really hope he makes the cut. Will be awesome.    His dad I believe is a teaching pro and his mum was on the LPGA Tour for a while. 
    • I have two contenders here that stick out to me: In second place, a putt to win the hole playing the 16th hole at Burnham and Berrow. Playing foursomes and the green has a big bank at the front then a flat bit and then it goes up again to a back shelf. My partner had hit our second shot onto the back shelf. We were 2up at the time and he was being a little wobbly so we didn’t want to lose the hole. Our oppo were conceded a 4 and my partner told me to just lag it down there nicely. 20 year old me meant to do that and failed. I hit it a bit hard and it was definitely going to clear the tier and probably run off the front of the green, but it hit the hole right in the middle and went in. My partner was very happy we won the hole but quite upset at my ability to follow instructions.    Number 2 is my most memorable. I was about 16 playing in the junior knockout at my club. We get to the 10th hole - long par 4 and index 2. I didn’t hit a very good drive, hit my second up about 60 yards short and pitched on to maybe 25 feet. I started walking and I got this feeling. I knew I was going to hole it. There was no doubt at all. I’ve never felt like that any other time in my life but this one putt was a certainty. It was February and the greens had been recently hollow tined so they were in awful shape. I didn’t even line it up. I hit my putt and it bumped and bounced all over the place until it went in the middle of the hole. If I could bottle up that feeling and sell it I’d be up there with Bezos and musk. Mind blowing!
    • It's strange how ONE person can be THAT much different/better/whatever than anyone else.
    • I saw a YouTube review on a bunch of ball brands and the Maxfli Tour X did very well in comparison. I bought a sleeve and found them to be excellent in feel and distance. But I’m a lousy golfer so nobody probably cares about my opinion. 😃
