    I also agree 100% with what Dale said. As a society we have way to many things to "subscribe" to. TV and shopping are two that have gotten totally out of control. I stopped a couple other sports forums because they wanted money just to be able to post or read things.
    Life can be expensive enough. We don't need our favorite brands trying to get more money out of us. $600 drivers and $55 for a dozen balls is alot to most people. What might look good on paper or sound good in a meeting doesn't always work out in real life.

    I am on the fence and would like to see more details. I have played Titleist gear for over 35 years so I am loyal to the brand. Like many others, I have a feeling it could cause a divide between brand supporters. I was a Cameron club member but fell into the same area as many others , always to late to get in on offers.

    I feel like this is a good option but would need to be more accessible then the CC drops.. I can never get anything

    I like things as they are. It is great to interact with others who like Titleist. Titleist also benefits from the current form. When someone post for opinions on upgrading their current clubs to the new models, can you get better sales people than a whole forum posting their positive feedback on the new clubs. I think the current forum is a win - win for everyone. Also, the Team Titleist swag they occasionally is a nice commission.

    I would be all in. After being in the SC group for a few years, I can afford to be more selective and not feel pressure to buy everything that launches. I am pretty good with 5-6 shirts and pullovers.

    It would be nice to have both options. To be on the freebie list is nice, to be able to purchase some nicer ticket items would be worth while. Someone else posted about Club Cameron, first come first serve basis is tough. Not sure if any way to avoid that with the TT gear as well. Interesting to see where it goes in the future. Cheers!

    If I had to lean one way or the other,I'd more than likely be against it rather than for it. Any time you introduce the word premium, you'll leave some folks out, primarily due to financial constraints.It'd be somewhat like the private course/public course debate; exclusivity vs accessibility. I don't know enough about Club Cameron, other than they seem to sell out of everything, before you can stroke a key note.I don't want to see this forum turn into that.

    I've gained more knowledge and insight from the folks that are part of this community than any other online platform I can think of.I hope it stays this way.

    I responded to the survey when sent out that I would be interested, I would hope though that it wouldn't water down the releases TITLEIST drops as well as the Invitational's. Would not want it to be like Club Cameron where stuff is released, bought up fast then be on Ebay seconds later. Just my opinion.

    If managed properly I think it could be very good. I hope it allows for more exclusive opportunities for TT gear and outtings.

    I'm done with that unless it's guaranteed. Titleist, as a whole, needs to step up their game for TT interaction and involvement. Random yet rare gatherings and random and rare giveaways is no longer the standard. This site needs to start by being more of a community rather than a message board. Club Cameron is a joke now, as well as the gallery in Encinitas. Other golf companies have surpassed us with media and social interaction.

    See you have been a member since 2009. I joined in 2012, am very active and feel that this is a community. A community is defined as a feeling of "fellowship with others", as a result of "sharing common attitudes", "interests", and "goals". I think this site meets that criteria, and we TT members are guilty of being a loyal Titleist community. I enjoy seeing our members and TT staff members at the Annual TT Invitational Event. Have only missed three. I see a lot of interaction and involvement from Titleist/TT staff members. I read the postings on a daily basis, seeing what is going on within our TT community. I guess each of us look at Team Titleist differently. As to other golf companies, cannot comment on that, am a Titleist loyalist and play their equipment. Have played practically all others and find Titleist fits my game, so no need to follow their communities.

    This would be cool. As others have said I would be interested to see what the price point(s) is/are and what would come with the membership.

    I would use this one, but wouldn’t be interested in a pay one. I support Titleist at the retail level.

    I think it’s a great idea been a member of club Cameron for years and would love to have access to special Titleist items.

    I’m not sure monetizing groups are the way to go. If we are brand loyalists, (which we are) is it necessary to carve out a few more dollars? Nor sure that’s necessary.

    The Team Titleist community is over 500,000 members, yet when you look at the message boards, attend the TTI it seems to be the same people over and over attending those events. There are more posters than ones that attend events domestically or across the globe, but I can tell you that number is far less than 500,000 so premium membership already...

    The last letter in "TTI" is Invitational so theoretically Titleist staff could invite whoever they choose but they provide ample lead time with announcements and a lot of the regulars here spread the word to their groups. What more do you want? I think that is being plenty fair.

    You can say the same thing about the random gear drops. TT staff provides notice. Yes, the supply is limited which I like but if you are somewhat of a regular follower of the forums (once a week) you would pick up what is going on.

    Do you need to carve out a premium membership from there? Not really but it would separate the ones that are in for the long haul against the ones that are hoping for free product or testing.

    If offered, would I pay? Would need to see the details and what it is all about. Given I joined TT for the community and the content and not the free product, I would most likely pay. The fear is that will the premium membership be overrun with bots who buy up everything only to sell it on ebay.

    For those that do that, please stop. the Scottsdale TTI was not even over and there are the welcome gifts up for sale.... really?

    Well said Tyler. =) And to those who sold their TT welcome gifts on eBay, yes it is yours to sell, but your are definitely not Titleist/Team Titleist loyalists, just opportunists to make an extra buck. As Ken O'Leary on Shark Tank would say, "you are dead to me", and I am sure to many of us. Save your spot next time for someone who really cares. =(

    Lots of good thoughts in this post.

    I'd say I'd be in favor of a Premium Membership, but of course I would still like to see those who choose not to join it not feel like they are lesser members by any means.. I know there are smarter people than me by far at Titleist that would figure out a way to accomplish this.

    I think with the additional revenue that a premium level might generate, Titleist could do 2 TTI's a year, one for the premium members and one for the general community, both still offering the experiences you currently see at the TTI. But by having one for the premium level, perhaps the ability to get in the general one would be easier, by that I mean, maybe it doesn't sell out in 30 minutes, and provides a wider window for signing up. Just a thought.

    "Scottsdale TTI was not even over and there are the welcome gifts up for sale.... really?"

    The above from your post really makes me sad/upset. I cherish every piece of Titleist gear/product we get a thee TTI. I have given away a couple bag tags to a close friend whose initials are TT but I would never sell anything of the sort. It's a really sad commentary of our society today.

    I'd like to see it stay as it is. It's well run and fair for all members. The TT Staff makes tweaks and adjustments to improve where necessary.
