Does Callaway have a MAP policy, or is the manager at Golf HQ just FOS?

Drove past the store about a month ago and their electronic sign was advertising Big Bertha Diablo balls 2 for $30. I couldn't pass that deal up so I went into the store, and when I found the balls there was a sign that they were 2 for $39.99. I explained to the manager about the sign and he refused to sell them to me at 2 for $30. I had explained to him that since that price was advertised, even in error, he was obligated to sell at that price, and he still refused, claiming "Callaway won't allow it". I took a picture of the inside sign intending to file a complaint with the BBB, and before I could get a picture of the outside sign, he RAN into the office in the back and turned off the sign.

First, I will say that sucks. Most sales people will honor a misadvertised price even if you don't ask them too.

But the main reason I wanted to comment is that I find the visual of the guy running to change the sign hilarious.

Also, if he knows that "Callaway won't allow it" then why did he put the signs up? Shady.
