Abu Dhabi Golf Championship (2015) ball markers

Last week, I went to the Abu Dhabi Golf Club to purchase ball markers from the then ongoing championship.  The three dome markers this year (white, pink and black) have plain reverses.

Next stop after Al Ghazal Golf Club was the nearby Abu Dhabi Golf Club, where I was able to find four new ball markers:

• a silver cloisonné ball marker with dark blue background
• a gold cloisonné ball marker with black background
• a dark blue dome marker
• a ball marker re-strike with a larger "CHINA" on the reverse

Abu Dhabi Golf Club (2013) ball markers

Over the weekend, I went to Abu Dhabi to update my ball marker collection.  My first stop was the Al Ghazal Golf Club, a sand course located beside the airport.  There were no new ball marker designs, but one of the clerks told me they should have new stuff that will be available by next month.  Also, their plan to build a new golf shop was apparently canceled.

My next stop was the Abu Dhabi Golf Club, where I spent Dh315 (@US$86) on 15 ball markers.  One of the staff told me that they have new stock available but that they haven't taken them out of the stock room, so I'm hoping the items would be available next month during the Abu Dhabi Golf Championship. 

The yellow and black markers below are old colors released in the past (unlike the dark blue, dark green and violet ones which are new colors), but they were minted this year.

 

The dome markers last year only had a red logo in the middle of the marker, but the dome markers this year (sky blue, gray, pink, yellow, red, and white) have a silver logo and the name of the golf club:

The last four are jewel markers (black, red, pink and red):

I also bought a magnetic Abu Dhabi Golf Championship marker from the Abu Dhabi Golf Club shop.  Golf House did indeed not have a booth (as I had written in an old post days ago), so let's see if Emirates Golf Club and SL Trading will be selling new ball marker designs for the 2013 Dubai Desert Classic to be held in 2 weeks.

Of course, my first stop at the Abu Dhabi Golf Championship was the golf shop run by the Abu Dhabi Golf Club.  I believe the three markers I purchased above were designs released late last year.

My wife and I went to Abu Dhabi Golf Club last weekend to check out if they have new ball markers that are not in my collection.  I'm quite certain that the four above were only issued this year.  The magnetic one below actually came with a medallion:

My wife and I went today to Round 3 of the 2012 Abu Dhabi Golf Championship.  By the afternoon, they had also began giving away golf kits containing a ball marker, pitch fork, tee, etc.  The stemmed ball marker is the same one that had been given away last year--it has the red sticker on its face.

My wife and I went today for Round 2 of the 2012 Abu Dhabi Golf Championship at the Abu Dhabi Golf Club.  I was able to purchase two different markers: one from the booth of the host Abu Dhabi Golf Club; the other, from that of Golf House. Whereas a stemmed ball marker was part of the freebie package given last year, the only gift for attendees this year was a small folding chair.
