Consumers are pouncing on sets of novelty golf balls featuring the images of 12 of Tiger Woods's alleged mistresses, according to the West Kelowna, B.C., man who's marketing the product.

More than 1,000 sets of the 'Tail of the Tiger Mistress Collection' have been sold at $45 each over the past five days, according to entrepreneur Mike Caldwell.

When the golf superstar's sex scandals drove him off the professional golf circuit, it created a consumer need for anything to do with Woods, Caldwell said.

"If you have a need, how do you fill it? The fill is a product that makes people laugh."

The box the balls come in says, "He likes to play a round with them ... now you can, too."

But not everyone is appreciating the attempt at humour.

"As a victim of violence myself, it bothered me," said reported Tiger paramour Joslyn James.

"Somebody would be standing with a dangerous club in their hands and hitting a ball with my face on it."

James's lawyer, Gloria Alred, said she has sought a cease-and-desist order to stop the sales.

But Caldwell insisted he's not promoting violence.

"Its a satire on a sex scandal. That's all it is," he said.
