    Yesterday i had the honor of playing in the Team Titleist InvitationaI at Pine Needles Resort.  I am posting this to thank Mike D, Abby L , Patrick, and all the staff from Titleist for putting together such an amazing event.  The knowledge the team showed and the resources available made me understand why being fitted is so important and why i trust Titleist more than any other manufacturer.  It was a great pleasure getting to play golf with Mike Depaolo, Marvin Francis, and Chris Bidwell.   The rain held off and I made new friends trading some really great stories!  Also thank you for the generous gift bag that was provided.  This was my first Team Titleist event and sure hope it will not be my last.  I will be looking forward to seeing my new friends at future events.    Thanks again!   --BC

    There is nothing better than attending a Team Titleist event and getting the pleasure to put some faces to the names you see on the discussion threads. Looks like you had a great time and played a spectacular course.

    Grrr...I really am not liking the "auto-correct"/"auto-complete" function on this tablet of mine ... it keeps substituting different words for me with little regard for the grammar, syntax, context, etc.

    My post should say "certain" as in I'm fairly certain that there are lots of TT members up in this part of the world (Pacific Northwest) that would love to participate in a TT event with the staff, etc.

    Hahahaha ... I see that my previous posting got lost!

    My comment was to ask Abby and company if there will ever be the possibility of a TT event in the Pacific Northwest region? I really do think that it is a certainty that there will be lots of TT members that would love to participate in this type of event!

    What a great event and thanks again to Team Titleist Team for having all of us to Pine Needles for a great day.  Also thanks for posting the pic Dr. K and thanks to Rick (The Scorpion), Abby, Mike D & Patrick for a great event specifically!!

    I'm in total agreement with Brad. By the way, Brad is a heck of a golfer and put on quite a display during the ball fitting demonstration. This was my first Team Titleist event and hopefully not my last. The reason I'm  fanatical about Titleist equipment is the level of quality you get in all of their products. Their seeding and tour validation process insures that amateur golfers like me are getting excellent equipment. The same quality and attention to detail was also demonstrated in this Team Titleist Invitational. No detail of this event was missed. For someone like me it was simply a perfect day. I often get asked if I'm sponsored by Titleist because everything I have is Titleist; If you watch me play the answer is an obviously no, but I believe in the company and the artwork they create.

    Well said Brad!  

    I think everyone that attended had a great time and we all really appreciate how Titleist is treating it's most loyal customers.  Clearly Titleist understands that keeping a customer and building business through customer referrals is the most efficient form of marketing that generates the highest return on investment.  

    I am more than proud to tell everyone I know about the quality of Titleist equipment as well as the passion and dedication of it's employees. 

    Thank you to the Titleist Staff that made this event happen.

    Now, I would like to know how to hit it as far as Rick and Chris!

    Brad,

    Congrats on being selected to attend.  It sounds like you had a great time at the event and that gift bag looks pretty nice also.  From your pic the course looks like it was fun to play.

    Brad, I fully agree with all you said.  I cannot express how fortunate and grateful I am that I was chosen to participate in the TT event in Pinehurst.  I really enjoyed watching your swing during the golf ball demonstration before the round.  I hope to have a swing as sweet as yours one day!

    Here is a photo of Dan, Chris, Mike D, Chuck and myself:

    I would like to echo everyone's comments.  The Team Titleist crew really knows how to run an event and make everyone feel special and appreciated.  I had a great time playing in the group with Abby, Carlos, and Cole; and meeting all the others who participated.  Pine Needles Resort, the Titleist gift bag, lunch, the awards reception, the ball fitting education session & my fitting,  making new friends, and playing golf with the best equipment on the planet .....it just doesn't get any better.  Thanks to everyone who made this such a memorable day.

    I agree Brad. Great job by all the Team Titleist staff and the folks at Pine Needles. It was a lot of fun to take part in this event and to meet other Team Titleist members. I had a great time playing a round with you, Mike and Chris. It was a pleasure to see such great ball striking skills !

    This was my first event as well.  What a wonderful day with a really great group of people. 

    Thank you to all of the Titleist staff who were there and made it happen. 

    I cannot think of another company who thanks their long time loyal clients like this.

    Well said, Brad!

    Couldn't agree more - Mike, Abby, Rick, Patrick, and the entire Titleist team are first class. It was an honor to be able to participate. The generosity and hospitality was over the top.

    Really enjoyed playing w/ Rick V, Steve N, and Chuck Z, even though I had easily my worst round of the year! We had a great time getting to know one another and enjoying the day together.

    And Brad…you put on a clinic on the practice tee during the ball fitting demonstration. And then carried it on to the course with some outstanding play. Well done!

    Thanks for a great day, Team Titleist!

    I was completely unaware of this tournament but I wish I would have known because this is in my area! What nice gifts they gave out as well, I would kill to have that shirt, hat, and some of those logoed balls. I'll be sure to attend the next tournament like this in my area.

    Garrison,

    Unfortunately, attendance at these events is by invitation only.   Those of us that have not been invited to one of the events can only appreciate what Team Titleist does for it's members and hope we are lucky enough to get invited some day.
