Dubai Desert Classic (2015) ball markers

I went to Emirates Golf Club earlier today, and I was able to purchase 12 different ball markers from the on-going Dubai Desert Classic.

Emirates Golf Club (Dubai; 2014) ball markers

After seeing the Dubai Open, I went to the Emirates Golf Club and I was able to purchase several new ball markers:  the one on the top left came with a medallion while the one on the top right came with golf gloves; there were seven different colors for the dome markers.

From SL Trading and from Emirates Golf Club, I was able over the weekend to purchase ball markers commemorating the 25th anniversary of the Dubai Desert Classic.  Although Golf House had a booth, it was not selling any ball markers.

Emirates Golf Club (Dubai; 2013) ball markers

Last weekend, my wife and I spent two nights in Amwaj Rotana in Dubai for some rest and relaxation.  On our way home to Al Ain, we dropped by the nearby Emirates Golf Club, and I was able to purchase two new ball markers:  a special-shaped marker (gold lettering) and a dome ball marker (white with gold rim).

Talker Cup (Dubai; 2011) ball marker

At the same SL Trading booth at the Dubai Desert Classic, I was able to purchase the ball marker above.  I believe the Talker Cup is an amateur golf tournament also held at the Emirates Golf Club.

Before meeting friends for lunch at the Media Rotana Hotel, my wife and I first went to the nearby Emirates Golf Club to see the Dubai Desert Classic.  The official merchandise shop run by Emirates Golf Club was selling the above irregularly-shaped ball marker.  The Golf House was also running a shop (so they renewed their contract in Dubai but not for the Abu Dhabi Golf Championship), but this year it did not sell any ball markers connected with the Dubai Desert Classic.

Last week when I purchased tickets for this year's Dubai Desert Classic, the ball marker sold last year (2011) by Emirates Golf Club was still available in the clubhouse, but it looks like it had been sold out by today (or more likely even earlier)....I don't recall seeing a booth by SL Trading LLC in the 2010 & 2011 Dubai Desert Classic tournaments, but it did have a booth in the 2011 Omega Dubai Ladies Masters--and that was when I purchased the oval ball marker that I believe is an old stock that SL Trading had earlier sold in the 2009 Dubai Desert Classic.

Jumeirah Hotels (UAE; 2012) ball marker

Jumeirah Hotels was one of the sponsors of the 2012 Dubai Desert Classic held at Emirates Golf Club. The plastic, stemmed ball marker above was part of a golf kit I purchased from the Jumeirah Hotels booth.

Earlier today, my wife and I went to the Dubai Desert Classic held at Emirates Golf Club, and I was able to purchase the ball marker above from the Golf House booth.

Emirates Golf Club (Dubai) ball markers

My wife and I went to Emirates Golf Club yesterday to buy general admission tickets for the Dubai Desert Classic next week.  I was also able to purchase three different ball markers from the clubhouse--the black one has a magnet on its back.

Before watching at the 18th-hole bleachers the final round leaders of the Omega Dubai Ladies Masters, my wife and I first headed to the clubhouse to purchase some ball markers.  I found six different ones which were apparently just released around last month or so: black, aqua blue, dark blue, orange, red, and white.

Omega Dubai Ladies Masters (2011) ball marker

My wife and I went to Emirates Golf Club earlier today to watch the final round of the Omega Dubai Ladies Masters which was eventually won by Alexis Thompson. Whereas there were no tournament-specific ball markers available last year, I was able to purchase one from the Golf House booth.  I'm guessing Golf House would sell excess Omega Dubai Ladies Masters merchandise (clothes, hats, balls, ball markers, etc.) in one or more of its branches--most likely in Dubai Outlet Mall, followed by Mushrif Mall (Abu Dhabi) and/or Dubai Mall.
