    It was another fantastic Team Titleist Invitational at Cantigny Golf Club outside Chicago. All of us at Team Titleist wanted to thank everyone who made it out, we could not have asked for a more enjoyable day. 

    The weather was perfect, the sun was shining and some great golf was played. Everyone even had the chance to hit the new 915 metals!

    Be sure to check out the slide show above to get a look at the action from another memorable event. 

    Thanks again to everyone.

    Thanks for sharing and glad to hear everyone had a great time!  What an added bonus to test out the 915s..   Can't wait to test those out... 

    Any amazing shot(s) from Bubba this time around?

    I too was wondering if Bubba had another fantastic shot to share.  I can't wait to hear some feedback from the lucky TT members who got to try out those fantastic new 915's.

    The 915's were only superb, not fantastic. I was working with the 915-D2 and 915-F. The 915-F wasn't on my agenda, but it will go on my to-do list in the next 2 weeks when I get to my AFC for a driver fitting. Visually and feel was much better than my 913-F. Will see what the numbers tell us.

    Hey Steve, 

    Nothing too memorable from me, but John F. had TWO chip-ins on the front side! Seeing him with a wedge in his hand around the greens was scary. I expected every shot to go in. 

    It was a great time, thanks again to everyone.

    Such a great opportunity to see old friends and meet new ones.  Awesome weather and courses as usual.

    Enjoyed the group and many stories shared by everyone.  And the nicknames for a few will not be forgotten.

    Thank you again to the TT staff for allowing us the opportunity.

    Looks like a great time!

  12. First, this was an incredible event and I had a ton of fun! Second, Thanks to all the other TT members that participated and enjoyed the day together sharing lots of Titleist stories, and lastly, without Mike, Bubba and the entire TT Titleist Staffers this would not be possible, so Thank you!! 

    Wow, this coming together is one of the best reasons to be part of this community...being able to put a face with the avatar's of so many we interact with throughout the year...!

    Can't wait to see everyone at another TT Event in the near future!

    Oh and by the way, the golf simulator was great too! LOL

    Not this time Josh.  I had to play Hurricane Bubba.  Lost 1 dn.   

    But had a great fun time doing it.   The 915's are the real deal, well worth investing in.  The H & F are really hot.

    TT

  15. I agree with T. Tiger...these clubs are crazy long...When I switched back and forth between my 913D3 9.5 and the equivalent 915D3 my drives were almost 10 yards farther...if not more!

    Surprising and paired with the new Titleist ProV1, Wow! Should be a great scoring year!

    IMHO, Chris

    Looks like another OUTSTANDING time!  Very impressed to hear about the 915's.  The distance on the fairways and hybrids is supposed to be out of this world.  

    Did Tiger break out the Members Only jacket for the post round activities???

    Unfortunately the Members Only jacket isn't on the TSA approved items list, so it had to stay in Tulsa.

    Just wondering, will Bubba and the rest of the TT staff ever make it to southern New Jersey? What a thrill it would be.Either way I'm a Titleist man forever. Can't wait to get a few more Titleist clubs in my Titleist cart bag. What a class company.Just being a member of TT will keep this 56 year old man young forever.

    Thanks for everything,

    Thanks again to Mike D. , Bubba and team at Team Titleist for putting on such a great event!!!  Great weather, great company, great seeing old friends and putting faces to new ones!!   Thanks again for the invite and hopefully get to play many more events in the future.  Mike D & Tyler H took Curt and I to school in our friendly battle and we had a first hand feeling of what it was like to be on the US Ryder Cup team!!  We got beat like a drum!!

    Hey guys... Just wanted to drop another Thanks for a great day at Cantigny! My award for closest to the pin came today, and it is AWESOME! I can't wait to put some #9 Pro V1x in play and let everyone know the back story! Have a great night! Jason
  25. Just returned from Oceanside TPI and had a second look at the 915 line.  They are even better than I remembered from Chicago!  It was great getting a chance to check them out ahead of my fitting so I was more focused on the fitting rather than fondling the equipment! LOL

    Surprisingly I went with the 915D2 vs. my current 913D3.  I also kept a 915Fd and two 915H compared to my 913Hd...

    Great time!

    Congrats Jason, awesome of Mike and Budda to throw in competition prizes and "Commemorative" Custom balls for us to remember the Challenge at the event.  Even if mine should say 3 when I get them...  Haha.

    Thanks again Mike and Bubba for my participation prize that arrived on friday!!  Just in time to brighten my weekend as I head out of town for my birthday weekend.  The "3's" will head me remember the beat down we received and thanks again. Hope we can do it again and as the weather changes I need to start planning a trip south since the season in the midwest is closing fast.  Thanks again, guys and Titleist = Top Notch all the way!!!

  31. Bubba and all

    Thanks for sharing; I play mostly Lake County courses and so I haven't had the pleasure to tee one up at Catigny. Glad the boys had a great time...Catigny looks great in her fall and Titleist colors.
