The World's Most Expensive Golf Ball Marker

I thought a $90 ball marker was expensive but the new Tri Mark Executive Series Marker defies all reason. The marker has a numbering system that lets you mark how many putter heads away your ball is. It is done up in 18K gold and diamonds and can also be worn with a chain to make a necklace. The marker sells for $10,500 and will be available for order on February 14, 2008.

I definitely enjoy luxury products (some, perhaps a little more tasteful than a diamond encrusted golf ball marker, or swarovski crystal encrusted anything) but there are people starving to death and dying from disease all over the world and some are still willing to shell out $10k for a golf ball marker or $40k for a ipod (and a crappy shuffle at that).

Hello Matthew,

I also enjoy luxury products, but before I judge a company I like to do a little research. In doing that research on TRI Mark Golf, I found that the Company is focused on contributing large portions of its profits to youth outreach and missions efforts locally and worldwide.

Now in regards to the Ipod, Steve Jobs is also in tune with the world around him as his company has contributed to a great number of worthy causes. To name a few there was the Apple's iTunes Store offering exclusive music and video performances from "Idol Gives Back", a charity television event designed to raise awareness and funds for children and young people living in extreme poverty in the United States and Africa, and they partnered with Keep a Child Alive to raise awareness as well as funds for its initiative to prevent the death of children infected with AIDS in Africa.

So I it looks like by enjoying our luxury products we ensure that the "people who are starving to death and dying from disease all over the world" have a foundation for hope.

Just some food for thought.

God Bless!

Dear William,
You sound very well informed about which companies donate to different causes, but you missed the point entirely. I was referring to consumers that would actually spend that much money on a golf ball marker or similar product. If for instance the person that is going to spend $10,500 on the golf ball marker instead gave the money to a true charity (not a scam company that you see in a infomercial or the American Red Cross) where as the company selling the golf ball marker might give a few dollars of the money to a charity to say "we are a good company, buy from us."
You know, a good friend of mine Peter Griffin once said "people who buy big fancy cars (or shiny gold and diamond golf ball markers) are really only saying look over here at this and not at small penis." (or something of that nature, I am too tired to look up the exact quote)

Just some food for thought

God Bless (what ever the fuck that is supposed to mean)
