assorted ball markers (UAE; 2014)

My wife and I went to Dubai Mall last weekend to do some shopping.  As usual, I dropped by the Golf House outlet, and I was surprised that its floor area had been halved.  I've been so busy with work lately that I haven't had the chance to go around the UAE to scout new ball markers, so I was fortunate that Golf House was selling markers from its outlets in four golf clubs:

• The Montgomerie
• Jebel Ali Golf Resort
• Abu Dhabi City Golf Club
• Arabian Ranches Golf Club

Arabian Ranches Golf Club (Dubai; 2012) ball marker

After The Els Club, our next stop was the nearby Arabian Ranches, where I was able to purchase on sale for Dh3 (US$0.82) my cheapest UAE ball marker--I usually get them for Dh15-25 (US$4.09-6.81) per piece.

Next, we went to the Montgomerie, and I purchased extra copies of ball markers already in my collection. Then we went to the Emirates Golf Club where we got a ticket for the upcoming Dubai Desert Classic. (We didn't drop by the clubhouse to purchase markers, though.)

Afterwards, we drove to the Strip Mall in Jumeirah to visit Lovin My Bags as my wife wants to have her old Fendi and Gucci handbags repaired.  Then we made Dubai Mall our last stop.  I dropped by the Golf House outlet and saw that they haven't had a new ball marker design in years.  I was also talking to one of the sales clerk, and he said that they didn't renew their contract for both the Abu Dhabi Golf Championship and Dubai Desert Classic tournaments.  In other words, I won't be seeing their booth in the next few weeks, just as they didn't participate in the last Omega Dubai Ladies Masters.
