    Hi, everyone.

    A few weeks ago, we conducted an experiment. Two great New England instructors, Titleist staff members Skip Guss and Mark Heartfield, helped us to conduct an in-person Learning Experience on Cape Cod. On two separate days, Skip and Mark shared their golf wisdom with groups of eight Team Titleist golfers, covering every aspect of the game – full swing technique and short game, bunker play and putting, as well as the mental game, course strategy and how to practice productively.

    Click here to see some highlights from the Titleist Learning Experience at The Ridge Club. 

    We wanted to see how beneficial a full day of instruction would be for the golfers who participated. And we wanted to see if there's potential to organize more exclusive TT opportunities like these in the future.

    Shortly after the event, we sent out a feedback survey to Learning Experience participants. The response was extremely positive, but we want to hear from the larger TT community, too.

    How much interest would you have in participating in a local or regional Learning Experience? What instructors on the Titleist roster would you like to work with in person? Is this something you'd like to see us combine with a TT golf play day or getaway? Or maybe we could include an instructional element with a new product launch experience?

    Let us know how you feel in the Quick Poll above and please leave a comment to share any other thoughts and suggestions you may have on the subject.

    Thanks very much!

    I would love to see a learning experience day near me. I'd participate at the drop of the date, circumstances permitting. While travel for some might be an issue, I think having a female instructor at such an event would benefit the guys, just as much as the women. Trillium Rose is an excellent example. I also believe everyone would benefit from focus on the approach shots and short game, mores than on the long game.

    To me, tying such an experience to a TT play day or a getaway would dilute the experience. Tying it to a product launch, like new irons or new wedges would work quite well, though.

    Trillium Rose & Jonathan Yarwood would be ones I would like to learn from. I think something like this is very beneficial to learning VS watching a video. In person you see it live & full size, not on a monitor or tv from across the room.


    Just my thoughts,

    I would be interested to get a look at my golf swing and improve it. Being retired I will have time to work on my swing. I would also like to see if there are clubs that would help.

    My Titleist PGA Instructor is in Naples, Fl and I am in NYC, Video lessons are good, but nothing beats in person conversation and discussion. I would do a Full day or even Half day working on enhancing my strengths and improving my weaknesses.

    Would sign up immediately and would look forward to working with any of the Titleist staff members. Always looking on ways to grind, and improve on a 7 index.

    I would love to attend one of your clinics. Concentrating on short game, but all areas need work. I spend the winter in Florida so would need to do something in the late spring through fall. Much of on line golf instruction is geared towards men so having some female instructors would be great!

    I would love to participate in a Titleist learning experience. I do and always have used Titleist golf balls since I was a kid. Titleist Pro V1 is the #1 ball and to me means your serious about your game. I have had limited golf lessons and would be extremely lucky to have lessons from any on of your pros. Having the lessons close by in the Houston or anywhere in Texas would be a bonus.
