Poston delivered his fourth PGA TOUR victory with a formidable display of ball-striking, gaining over eight strokes (+8.081/2nd) on the field on approach. One shot back on the 72nd hole, Poston hit a 314-yard drive down the right side of the fairway with his NEW GTS3 driver. With 162 yards left to the pin, Postman’s dialed approach with his T100 8-iron finished 7 feet, 5 inches from the hole. He rolled in his Pro V1x Left Dash for the birdie that forced a playoff with fellow Titleist Brand Ambassador Ryan Gerard . The Postman also landed his Left Dash safely on the 18th green in regulation on both playoff holes, making par on the second extra hole to claim his biggest TOUR win. Poston led a 1-2-3 finish at Memorial for players gaming Titleist golf balls, T-Series irons and Vokey Design wedges. What’s in the Bag? | J.T. Poston Golf Ball: NEW Titleist Pro V1x Left Dash Driver: NEW GTS3 9.0&amp;#176; | Mitsubishi Diamana BF 60 TX Fairway Metal: TS2 15.0&amp;#176; | Graphite Design Tour AD IZ-7 X Irons: T150 4 | True Temper Project X 6.5 and T100 5-9 | True Temper Project X 6.5 Wedges: Vokey Design SM10 46.10F, 50.08F, 56.10S (@ 55), WedgeWorks 60L | True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue S400 POSTMAN DELIVERS IN SECOND START WITH PRO V1 x LEFT DASH The biggest win of J.T. Poston&amp;#39;s career came in just the second start since his move to the NEW Titleist Pro V1x Left Dash golf ball, as he gained +8.081 strokes on approach over the four days at Muirfield Village. Introduced earlier this year, the next generation Pro V1x Left Dash is designed with faster dual-core technology and advanced aerodynamics that drive longer distance and an even more consistent flight that is more penetrating into the wind. Left Dash delivers a high trajectory similar to Pro V1x with dramatically lower full swing spin and tour-validated short game spin. At last month’s PGA Championship, Poston inquired with Titleist reps about testing possible options that could help dial in his irons and full wedge shots, particularly in windy conditions. Following recent swing speed gains, Poston had noticed some shots over-spinning with his Pro V1x. At home the week after the PGA, Poston spent time testing Pro V1 and Pro V1x Left Dash, both lower-spinning options compared to his Pro V1x. Poston arrived at the Charles Schwab Challenge the following week ready to make the move to Left Dash. He worked with J.J. Van Wezenbeeck, Titleist’s Senior Director of Club Promotion , to confirm numbers and gapping. Heading into Colonial, Poston was ranked 85th in Strokes Gained: Approach (+0.024). He gained +1.402 strokes at Colonial, then +8.081 (2nd) this week at Memorial with an average Proximity of 27 feet, 11 inches (3rd). In Friday’s windswept second round, which Justin Thomas called “probably the most difficult round I’ve played on tour,” Poston gained +3.335 on approach on his way to a 7-under 65. “I don’t think I can put into words how good [J.T.’s] round was today,” Thomas posted. “We actually switched to a different golf ball. I went to the Left Dash that Titleist makes last week,” Poston said after his second round. “It&amp;#39;s supposed to help me a little bit in the wind. So we felt like today was going to be a good test of that and it obviously performed really well. We had a couple shots that I felt like didn&amp;#39;t quite hit &amp;#39;em perfect and it hung in there pretty well. So I feel like just having that confidence in that too is big, where I just — we&amp;#39;re trying to hit the smart shot and hit the right shot and just trying to execute and go from there.” Poston joins Jordan Spieth , who also recently made the move to Pro V1x Left Dash five starts ago at the Cadillac Championship. Poston’s victory Sunday made it eight wins over the last eight weeks for Titleist golf ball players on the PGA TOUR, following victories by Matt Fitzpatrick (Pro V1x) , Alex Fitzpatrick (Pro V1x) , Cameron Young (Pro V1x Double Dot) , Kristoffer Reitan (Pro V1) , Aaron Rai (Pro V1) , Wyndham Clark (Pro V1x) and Russell Henley (Pro V1x) . POSTON WINS WITH GTS3 DRIVER; ANOTHER VICTORY FOR TITLEIST DRIVER PLAYERS Titleist drivers continue to deliver on the game’s biggest stages, as J.T. Poston brought his NEW GTS3 driver to the winner’s circle at Muirfield Village: NEW GTS3 9.0&amp;#176; driver | A•1 SureFit hosel, Neutral SureFit CG | Mitsubishi Diamana BF 60 TX Poston was one of 28 players across this week’s field of 82 who gamed a Titleist driver (39%) — 12 more than the next most played brand (16). Of the 28 Titleist drivers in play, 18 were new GTS models. That includes OWGR No. 3 Cameron Young (NEW GTS3 10.0&amp;#176;) and OWGR No. 4 (NEW GTS2 9.0&amp;#176;), both of whom put GTS in the bag for the first time this week. Since launching on the PGA TOUR at the Texas Children’s Houston Open, GTS drivers have been earning their way into players’ bag week in and week out. Currently, over 65 players on the PGA TOUR are gaming a GTS2 , GTS3 or GTS4 model. Poston’s victory also makes it nine PGA TOUR wins for Titleist driver players since March 8. Titleist has been the most played driver on the PGA TOUR for seven straight seasons and counting. POSTON CLUTCH WITH T-SERIES IRONS Gaming his blended set of T-Series irons, Poston gained over eight shots on the field with his approach play (+8.081, 2nd) and hit 68% GIR (T4). His iron play also came up clutch when he needed it most on Sunday. Facing a 162-yard approach on the 72nd hole and needing a birdie to force extra holes, Poston pulled his T100 8-iron and stuck his approach to 7 feet, 5 inches. Poston is among the approximately 80% of Titleist PGA TOUR players who game a setup of multiple iron models, demonstrating the importance of custom fitting and optimization throughout the set: T150 4-iron | True Temper Project X 6.5 T100 5–9 irons | True Temper Project X 6.5 POSTON GAINS AROUND THE GREENS WITH VOKEY SETUP Poston&amp;#39;s wedge play was solid all week long, as he ranked third in Scrambling (70%) and gained +1.182 strokes around the greens with his four-Vokey setup: Vokey Design SM10 46.10F, 50.08F, 56.10S (@ 55&amp;#176;), WedgeWorks 60L wedges Versatility in Poston’s wedge setup has been key since his first wedge fitting with Vokey Tour Rep Aaron Dill at the Titleist Performance Institute in Oceanside, Calif. By employing different grinds in his sand and lob wedge, Poston has a wider range of shots at his disposal around the greens. &amp;quot;What I took away from [the fitting], and I still use today, is [Dill] asked me ‘why is your bounce the same on your sand wedge and your lob wedge?’ And I didn&amp;#39;t have an answer for it. It was just ‘That&amp;#39;s what I&amp;#39;ve used as a kid in junior golf and college golf.’ I&amp;#39;m not one for change usually. And so, if I know that it&amp;#39;s working, I&amp;#39;m like, ‘I&amp;#39;m going to keep doing it.’ But there was no real method, no real reason to why I was doing it. And [Dill] made a great point. If you kind of give one maybe a little more [bounce] and one that has a little less, it gives you more of a variety around the greens without having to really change too much other than just how the club reacts.” Poston’s 56-degree S Grind has 10 degrees of bounce, while his 60-degree L Grind lob wedge has 4 degrees of bounce. RYAN GERARD CONTINUES FORM WITH RUNNER-UP FINISH Following a T10 at last week’s Charles Schwab Challenge, Titleist Brand Ambassador Ryan Gerard carded rounds of 67-69-72-68, matching Poston’s 72-hole total of 12 under. It marked Gerard’s third runner finish of the season, having begun his 2026 campaign with a solo second at the Sony Open and a T2 result at the American Express. For the week at Muirfield Village, Gerard was lights out on the green with his Scotty Cameron Phantom 3 tour prototype putter, leading the field with over 10 strokes gained putting (+10.551). He averaged 109 feet, 6 inches of putts made per round (2nd) and 1.62 putts per GIR (3rd). His gamer showed up in a big way down the stretch, as Gerard drained a 36-foot, 9-inch birdie effort on the 71st to reach 12 under.

Stout made birdie on the 72nd hole to post 14 under for the stroke play portion of the event. Both Stout and the NCAA D1 Women’s Individual champion won college golf’s biggest tournament while playing Pro V1 and 14 Titleist clubs. The two winners trusted GTS metals, T-Series irons, Vokey SM11 wedges and Scotty Cameron Phantom putters. The victory earns Stout a spot in the field at Shinnecock Hills for the U.S. Open later this month as well as an invitation to the 2027 Masters. Stout currently ranks No. 3 in the WAGR.

The Tigers, led by WAGR No. 1 Jackson Koivun all season long, defeated UCLA 4–1 in the championship match. Four of the five players on the winning side played a Titleist golf ball and driver , and three played full sets of Titleist irons and Vokey SM11 wedges.

Said Chacarra: “Shot of my career, maybe. That was a little tweener, but with adrenaline, I’m going to try to hit this one hard, it flew 10-15 [yards] longer than we thought. So, proud to see the ball land on the green and then took a nice first putt to give me a putt that you always dream of, a putt that you can’t really miss to win a tournament.” In total control of his Pro V1 golf ball, Chacarra led the field in Strokes Gained: Tee to Green with an average of +3.70 per round. Posting rounds of 69-69-65-70, Chacarra finished the week at 11 under par while leading a 1-2 finish for Titleist golf ball players. Runner-up Oliver Lindell (Pro V1x) was the only player to post all four rounds in the 60s (69-67-69-69). In total, 115 players (74%) teed up a Pro V1 or Pro V1x at the KLM Open, more than six times the nearest competitor (18). KORN FERRY TOUR | BMW Charity Pro-Am Ben Kohles (Pro V1x) made three birdies in a steady Sunday performance to win by four and secure his fifth Korn Ferry Tour title. Kohles’ week – highlighted by a hole-in-one on the par-3 6th on Saturday – included rounds of 68-65-64-71. He was dialed in with his Pro V1x , leading the field in Strokes Gained: Approach (+10.178) and Greens in Regulation (87.5%, 63/72), while making 16 birdies and three eagles (T1).

Highlighted by a back-nine 31 on Sunday that featured four birdies, Iwata posted rounds of 66-70-69-69 with a total of 15 birdies and one eagle. ASIAN TOUR | am green IGPL Bharath Classic Titleist Brand Ambassador Charlie Lindh closed in 8-under 64 — the low round of the week — to capture his first career Asian Tour title. His winning setup includes his Pro V1 golf ball, NEW GTS2 driver and fairway, blended set of T-Series irons and full set of NEW Vokey SM11 wedges. Lindh, who started the day three shots off the pace, made eagle on the 72nd hole to put the finishing touches on a four-shot victory.

Poston delivered his fourth PGA TOUR victory with a formidable display of ball-striking, gaining over eight strokes (+8.081/2nd) on the field on approach. One shot back on the 72nd hole, Poston hit a 314-yard drive down the right side of the fairway with his NEW GTS3 driver. With 162 yards left to the pin, Postman’s dialed approach with his T100 8-iron finished 7 feet, 5 inches from the hole. He rolled in his Pro V1x Left Dash for the birdie that forced a playoff with fellow Titleist Brand Ambassador Ryan Gerard . The Postman also landed his Left Dash safely on the 18th green in regulation on both playoff holes, making par on the second extra hole to claim his biggest TOUR win. Poston led a 1-2-3 finish at Memorial for players gaming Titleist golf balls, T-Series irons and Vokey Design wedges. What’s in the Bag? | J.T. Poston Golf Ball: NEW Titleist Pro V1x Left Dash Driver: NEW GTS3 9.0&amp;#176; | Mitsubishi Diamana BF 60 TX Fairway Metal: TS2 15.0&amp;#176; | Graphite Design Tour AD IZ-7 X Irons: T150 4 | True Temper Project X 6.5 and T100 5-9 | True Temper Project X 6.5 Wedges: Vokey Design SM10 46.10F, 50.08F, 56.10S (@ 55), WedgeWorks 60L | True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue S400 POSTMAN DELIVERS IN SECOND START WITH PRO V1 x LEFT DASH The biggest win of J.T. Poston&amp;#39;s career came in just the second start since his move to the NEW Titleist Pro V1x Left Dash golf ball, as he gained +8.081 strokes on approach over the four days at Muirfield Village. Introduced earlier this year, the next generation Pro V1x Left Dash is designed with faster dual-core technology and advanced aerodynamics that drive longer distance and an even more consistent flight that is more penetrating into the wind. Left Dash delivers a high trajectory similar to Pro V1x with dramatically lower full swing spin and tour-validated short game spin. At last month’s PGA Championship, Poston inquired with Titleist reps about testing possible options that could help dial in his irons and full wedge shots, particularly in windy conditions. Following recent swing speed gains, Poston had noticed some shots over-spinning with his Pro V1x. At home the week after the PGA, Poston spent time testing Pro V1 and Pro V1x Left Dash, both lower-spinning options compared to his Pro V1x. Poston arrived at the Charles Schwab Challenge the following week ready to make the move to Left Dash. He worked with J.J. Van Wezenbeeck, Titleist’s Senior Director of Club Promotion , to confirm numbers and gapping. Heading into Colonial, Poston was ranked 85th in Strokes Gained: Approach (+0.024). He gained +1.402 strokes at Colonial, then +8.081 (2nd) this week at Memorial with an average Proximity of 27 feet, 11 inches (3rd). In Friday’s windswept second round, which Justin Thomas called “probably the most difficult round I’ve played on tour,” Poston gained +3.335 on approach on his way to a 7-under 65. “I don’t think I can put into words how good [J.T.’s] round was today,” Thomas posted. “We actually switched to a different golf ball. I went to the Left Dash that Titleist makes last week,” Poston said after his second round. “It&amp;#39;s supposed to help me a little bit in the wind. So we felt like today was going to be a good test of that and it obviously performed really well. We had a couple shots that I felt like didn&amp;#39;t quite hit &amp;#39;em perfect and it hung in there pretty well. So I feel like just having that confidence in that too is big, where I just — we&amp;#39;re trying to hit the smart shot and hit the right shot and just trying to execute and go from there.” Poston joins Jordan Spieth , who also recently made the move to Pro V1x Left Dash five starts ago at the Cadillac Championship. Poston’s victory Sunday made it eight wins over the last eight weeks for Titleist golf ball players on the PGA TOUR, following victories by Matt Fitzpatrick (Pro V1x) , Alex Fitzpatrick (Pro V1x) , Cameron Young (Pro V1x Double Dot) , Kristoffer Reitan (Pro V1) , Aaron Rai (Pro V1) , Wyndham Clark (Pro V1x) and Russell Henley (Pro V1x) . POSTON WINS WITH GTS3 DRIVER; ANOTHER VICTORY FOR TITLEIST DRIVER PLAYERS Titleist drivers continue to deliver on the game’s biggest stages, as J.T. Poston brought his NEW GTS3 driver to the winner’s circle at Muirfield Village: NEW GTS3 9.0&amp;#176; driver | A•1 SureFit hosel, Neutral SureFit CG | Mitsubishi Diamana BF 60 TX Poston was one of 28 players across this week’s field of 82 who gamed a Titleist driver (39%) — 12 more than the next most played brand (16). Of the 28 Titleist drivers in play, 18 were new GTS models. That includes OWGR No. 3 Cameron Young (NEW GTS3 10.0&amp;#176;) and OWGR No. 4 (NEW GTS2 9.0&amp;#176;), both of whom put GTS in the bag for the first time this week. Since launching on the PGA TOUR at the Texas Children’s Houston Open, GTS drivers have been earning their way into players’ bag week in and week out. Currently, over 65 players on the PGA TOUR are gaming a GTS2 , GTS3 or GTS4 model. Poston’s victory also makes it nine PGA TOUR wins for Titleist driver players since March 8. Titleist has been the most played driver on the PGA TOUR for seven straight seasons and counting. POSTON CLUTCH WITH T-SERIES IRONS Gaming his blended set of T-Series irons, Poston gained over eight shots on the field with his approach play (+8.081, 2nd) and hit 68% GIR (T4). His iron play also came up clutch when he needed it most on Sunday. Facing a 162-yard approach on the 72nd hole and needing a birdie to force extra holes, Poston pulled his T100 8-iron and stuck his approach to 7 feet, 5 inches. Poston is among the approximately 80% of Titleist PGA TOUR players who game a setup of multiple iron models, demonstrating the importance of custom fitting and optimization throughout the set: T150 4-iron | True Temper Project X 6.5 T100 5–9 irons | True Temper Project X 6.5 POSTON GAINS AROUND THE GREENS WITH VOKEY SETUP Poston&amp;#39;s wedge play was solid all week long, as he ranked third in Scrambling (70%) and gained +1.182 strokes around the greens with his four-Vokey setup: Vokey Design SM10 46.10F, 50.08F, 56.10S (@ 55&amp;#176;), WedgeWorks 60L wedges Versatility in Poston’s wedge setup has been key since his first wedge fitting with Vokey Tour Rep Aaron Dill at the Titleist Performance Institute in Oceanside, Calif. By employing different grinds in his sand and lob wedge, Poston has a wider range of shots at his disposal around the greens. &amp;quot;What I took away from [the fitting], and I still use today, is [Dill] asked me ‘why is your bounce the same on your sand wedge and your lob wedge?’ And I didn&amp;#39;t have an answer for it. It was just ‘That&amp;#39;s what I&amp;#39;ve used as a kid in junior golf and college golf.’ I&amp;#39;m not one for change usually. And so, if I know that it&amp;#39;s working, I&amp;#39;m like, ‘I&amp;#39;m going to keep doing it.’ But there was no real method, no real reason to why I was doing it. And [Dill] made a great point. If you kind of give one maybe a little more [bounce] and one that has a little less, it gives you more of a variety around the greens without having to really change too much other than just how the club reacts.” Poston’s 56-degree S Grind has 10 degrees of bounce, while his 60-degree L Grind lob wedge has 4 degrees of bounce. RYAN GERARD CONTINUES FORM WITH RUNNER-UP FINISH Following a T10 at last week’s Charles Schwab Challenge, Titleist Brand Ambassador Ryan Gerard carded rounds of 67-69-72-68, matching Poston’s 72-hole total of 12 under. It marked Gerard’s third runner finish of the season, having begun his 2026 campaign with a solo second at the Sony Open and a T2 result at the American Express. For the week at Muirfield Village, Gerard was lights out on the green with his Scotty Cameron Phantom 3 tour prototype putter, leading the field with over 10 strokes gained putting (+10.551). He averaged 109 feet, 6 inches of putts made per round (2nd) and 1.62 putts per GIR (3rd). His gamer showed up in a big way down the stretch, as Gerard drained a 36-foot, 9-inch birdie effort on the 71st to reach 12 under.

Poston Golf Ball: NEW Titleist Pro V1x Left Dash Driver: NEW GTS3 9.0&amp;#176; | Mitsubishi Diamana BF 60 TX Fairway Metal: TS2 15.0&amp;#176; | Graphite Design Tour AD IZ-7 X Irons: T150 4 | True Temper Project X 6.5 and T100 5-9 | True Temper Project X 6.5 Wedges: Vokey Design SM10 46.10F, 50.08F, 56.10S (@ 55), WedgeWorks 60L | True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue S400 POSTMAN DELIVERS IN SECOND START WITH PRO V1 x LEFT DASH The biggest win of J.T. Poston&amp;#39;s career came in just the second start since his move to the NEW Titleist Pro V1x Left Dash golf ball, as he gained +8.081 strokes on approach over the four days at Muirfield Village. Introduced earlier this year, the next generation Pro V1x Left Dash is designed with faster dual-core technology and advanced aerodynamics that drive longer distance and an even more consistent flight that is more penetrating into the wind. Left Dash delivers a high trajectory similar to Pro V1x with dramatically lower full swing spin and tour-validated short game spin. At last month’s PGA Championship, Poston inquired with Titleist reps about testing possible options that could help dial in his irons and full wedge shots, particularly in windy conditions. Following recent swing speed gains, Poston had noticed some shots over-spinning with his Pro V1x. At home the week after the PGA, Poston spent time testing Pro V1 and Pro V1x Left Dash, both lower-spinning options compared to his Pro V1x. Poston arrived at the Charles Schwab Challenge the following week ready to make the move to Left Dash. He worked with J.J. Van Wezenbeeck, Titleist’s Senior Director of Club Promotion , to confirm numbers and gapping. Heading into Colonial, Poston was ranked 85th in Strokes Gained: Approach (+0.024). He gained +1.402 strokes at Colonial, then +8.081 (2nd) this week at Memorial with an average Proximity of 27 feet, 11 inches (3rd). In Friday’s windswept second round, which Justin Thomas called “probably the most difficult round I’ve played on tour,” Poston gained +3.335 on approach on his way to a 7-under 65. “I don’t think I can put into words how good [J.T.’s] round was today,” Thomas posted. “We actually switched to a different golf ball. I went to the Left Dash that Titleist makes last week,” Poston said after his second round. “It&amp;#39;s supposed to help me a little bit in the wind. So we felt like today was going to be a good test of that and it obviously performed really well. We had a couple shots that I felt like didn&amp;#39;t quite hit &amp;#39;em perfect and it hung in there pretty well. So I feel like just having that confidence in that too is big, where I just — we&amp;#39;re trying to hit the smart shot and hit the right shot and just trying to execute and go from there.” Poston joins Jordan Spieth , who also recently made the move to Pro V1x Left Dash five starts ago at the Cadillac Championship. Poston’s victory Sunday made it eight wins over the last eight weeks for Titleist golf ball players on the PGA TOUR, following victories by Matt Fitzpatrick (Pro V1x) , Alex Fitzpatrick (Pro V1x) , Cameron Young (Pro V1x Double Dot) , Kristoffer Reitan (Pro V1) , Aaron Rai (Pro V1) , Wyndham Clark (Pro V1x) and Russell Henley (Pro V1x) . POSTON WINS WITH GTS3 DRIVER; ANOTHER VICTORY FOR TITLEIST DRIVER PLAYERS Titleist drivers continue to deliver on the game’s biggest stages, as J.T. Poston brought his NEW GTS3 driver to the winner’s circle at Muirfield Village: NEW GTS3 9.0&amp;#176; driver | A•1 SureFit hosel, Neutral SureFit CG | Mitsubishi Diamana BF 60 TX Poston was one of 28 players across this week’s field of 82 who gamed a Titleist driver (39%) — 12 more than the next most played brand (16). Of the 28 Titleist drivers in play, 18 were new GTS models. That includes OWGR No. 3 Cameron Young (NEW GTS3 10.0&amp;#176;) and OWGR No. 4 (NEW GTS2 9.0&amp;#176;), both of whom put GTS in the bag for the first time this week. Since launching on the PGA TOUR at the Texas Children’s Houston Open, GTS drivers have been earning their way into players’ bag week in and week out. Currently, over 65 players on the PGA TOUR are gaming a GTS2 , GTS3 or GTS4 model. Poston’s victory also makes it nine PGA TOUR wins for Titleist driver players since March 8. Titleist has been the most played driver on the PGA TOUR for seven straight seasons and counting. POSTON CLUTCH WITH T-SERIES IRONS Gaming his blended set of T-Series irons, Poston gained over eight shots on the field with his approach play (+8.081, 2nd) and hit 68% GIR (T4). His iron play also came up clutch when he needed it most on Sunday. Facing a 162-yard approach on the 72nd hole and needing a birdie to force extra holes, Poston pulled his T100 8-iron and stuck his approach to 7 feet, 5 inches. Poston is among the approximately 80% of Titleist PGA TOUR players who game a setup of multiple iron models, demonstrating the importance of custom fitting and optimization throughout the set: T150 4-iron | True Temper Project X 6.5 T100 5–9 irons | True Temper Project X 6.5 POSTON GAINS AROUND THE GREENS WITH VOKEY SETUP Poston&amp;#39;s wedge play was solid all week long, as he ranked third in Scrambling (70%) and gained +1.182 strokes around the greens with his four-Vokey setup: Vokey Design SM10 46.10F, 50.08F, 56.10S (@ 55&amp;#176;), WedgeWorks 60L wedges Versatility in Poston’s wedge setup has been key since his first wedge fitting with Vokey Tour Rep Aaron Dill at the Titleist Performance Institute in Oceanside, Calif. By employing different grinds in his sand and lob wedge, Poston has a wider range of shots at his disposal around the greens. &amp;quot;What I took away from [the fitting], and I still use today, is [Dill] asked me ‘why is your bounce the same on your sand wedge and your lob wedge?’ And I didn&amp;#39;t have an answer for it. It was just ‘That&amp;#39;s what I&amp;#39;ve used as a kid in junior golf and college golf.’ I&amp;#39;m not one for change usually. And so, if I know that it&amp;#39;s working, I&amp;#39;m like, ‘I&amp;#39;m going to keep doing it.’ But there was no real method, no real reason to why I was doing it. And [Dill] made a great point. If you kind of give one maybe a little more [bounce] and one that has a little less, it gives you more of a variety around the greens without having to really change too much other than just how the club reacts.” Poston’s 56-degree S Grind has 10 degrees of bounce, while his 60-degree L Grind lob wedge has 4 degrees of bounce. RYAN GERARD CONTINUES FORM WITH RUNNER-UP FINISH Following a T10 at last week’s Charles Schwab Challenge, Titleist Brand Ambassador Ryan Gerard carded rounds of 67-69-72-68, matching Poston’s 72-hole total of 12 under. It marked Gerard’s third runner finish of the season, having begun his 2026 campaign with a solo second at the Sony Open and a T2 result at the American Express. For the week at Muirfield Village, Gerard was lights out on the green with his Scotty Cameron Phantom 3 tour prototype putter, leading the field with over 10 strokes gained putting (+10.551). He averaged 109 feet, 6 inches of putts made per round (2nd) and 1.62 putts per GIR (3rd). His gamer showed up in a big way down the stretch, as Gerard drained a 36-foot, 9-inch birdie effort on the 71st to reach 12 under.

Stout made birdie on the 72nd hole to post 14 under for the stroke play portion of the event. Both Stout and the NCAA D1 Women’s Individual champion won college golf’s biggest tournament while playing Pro V1 and 14 Titleist clubs. The two winners trusted GTS metals, T-Series irons, Vokey SM11 wedges and Scotty Cameron Phantom putters. The victory earns Stout a spot in the field at Shinnecock Hills for the U.S. Open later this month as well as an invitation to the 2027 Masters. Stout currently ranks No. 3 in the WAGR.

Said Chacarra: “Shot of my career, maybe. That was a little tweener, but with adrenaline, I’m going to try to hit this one hard, it flew 10-15 [yards] longer than we thought. So, proud to see the ball land on the green and then took a nice first putt to give me a putt that you always dream of, a putt that you can’t really miss to win a tournament.” In total control of his Pro V1 golf ball, Chacarra led the field in Strokes Gained: Tee to Green with an average of +3.70 per round. Posting rounds of 69-69-65-70, Chacarra finished the week at 11 under par while leading a 1-2 finish for Titleist golf ball players. Runner-up Oliver Lindell (Pro V1x) was the only player to post all four rounds in the 60s (69-67-69-69). In total, 115 players (74%) teed up a Pro V1 or Pro V1x at the KLM Open, more than six times the nearest competitor (18). KORN FERRY TOUR | BMW Charity Pro-Am Ben Kohles (Pro V1x) made three birdies in a steady Sunday performance to win by four and secure his fifth Korn Ferry Tour title.

Poston delivered his fourth PGA TOUR victory with a formidable display of ball-striking, gaining over eight strokes (+8.081/2nd) on the field on approach. One shot back on the 72nd hole, Poston hit a 314-yard drive down the right side of the fairway with his NEW GTS3 driver. With 162 yards left to the pin, Postman’s dialed approach with his T100 8-iron finished 7 feet, 5 inches from the hole. He rolled in his Pro V1x Left Dash for the birdie that forced a playoff with fellow Titleist Brand Ambassador Ryan Gerard . The Postman also landed his Left Dash safely on the 18th green in regulation on both playoff holes, making par on the second extra hole to claim his biggest TOUR win. Poston led a 1-2-3 finish at Memorial for players gaming Titleist golf balls, T-Series irons and Vokey Design wedges. What’s in the Bag? | J.T. Poston Golf Ball: NEW Titleist Pro V1x Left Dash Driver: NEW GTS3 9.0&amp;#176; | Mitsubishi Diamana BF 60 TX Fairway Metal: TS2 15.0&amp;#176; | Graphite Design Tour AD IZ-7 X Irons: T150 4 | True Temper Project X 6.5 and T100 5-9 | True Temper Project X 6.5 Wedges: Vokey Design SM10 46.10F, 50.08F, 56.10S (@ 55), WedgeWorks 60L | True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue S400 POSTMAN DELIVERS IN SECOND START WITH PRO V1 x LEFT DASH The biggest win of J.T. Poston&amp;#39;s career came in just the second start since his move to the NEW Titleist Pro V1x Left Dash golf ball, as he gained +8.081 strokes on approach over the four days at Muirfield Village. Introduced earlier this year, the next generation Pro V1x Left Dash is designed with faster dual-core technology and advanced aerodynamics that drive longer distance and an even more consistent flight that is more penetrating into the wind. Left Dash delivers a high trajectory similar to Pro V1x with dramatically lower full swing spin and tour-validated short game spin. At last month’s PGA Championship, Poston inquired with Titleist reps about testing possible options that could help dial in his irons and full wedge shots, particularly in windy conditions. Following recent swing speed gains, Poston had noticed some shots over-spinning with his Pro V1x. At home the week after the PGA, Poston spent time testing Pro V1 and Pro V1x Left Dash, both lower-spinning options compared to his Pro V1x. Poston arrived at the Charles Schwab Challenge the following week ready to make the move to Left Dash. He worked with J.J. Van Wezenbeeck, Titleist’s Senior Director of Club Promotion , to confirm numbers and gapping. Heading into Colonial, Poston was ranked 85th in Strokes Gained: Approach (+0.024). He gained +1.402 strokes at Colonial, then +8.081 (2nd) this week at Memorial with an average Proximity of 27 feet, 11 inches (3rd). In Friday’s windswept second round, which Justin Thomas called “probably the most difficult round I’ve played on tour,” Poston gained +3.335 on approach on his way to a 7-under 65. “I don’t think I can put into words how good [J.T.’s] round was today,” Thomas posted. “We actually switched to a different golf ball. I went to the Left Dash that Titleist makes last week,” Poston said after his second round. “It&amp;#39;s supposed to help me a little bit in the wind. So we felt like today was going to be a good test of that and it obviously performed really well. We had a couple shots that I felt like didn&amp;#39;t quite hit &amp;#39;em perfect and it hung in there pretty well. So I feel like just having that confidence in that too is big, where I just — we&amp;#39;re trying to hit the smart shot and hit the right shot and just trying to execute and go from there.” Poston joins Jordan Spieth , who also recently made the move to Pro V1x Left Dash five starts ago at the Cadillac Championship. Poston’s victory Sunday made it eight wins over the last eight weeks for Titleist golf ball players on the PGA TOUR, following victories by Matt Fitzpatrick (Pro V1x) , Alex Fitzpatrick (Pro V1x) , Cameron Young (Pro V1x Double Dot) , Kristoffer Reitan (Pro V1) , Aaron Rai (Pro V1) , Wyndham Clark (Pro V1x) and Russell Henley (Pro V1x) . POSTON WINS WITH GTS3 DRIVER; ANOTHER VICTORY FOR TITLEIST DRIVER PLAYERS Titleist drivers continue to deliver on the game’s biggest stages, as J.T. Poston brought his NEW GTS3 driver to the winner’s circle at Muirfield Village: NEW GTS3 9.0&amp;#176; driver | A•1 SureFit hosel, Neutral SureFit CG | Mitsubishi Diamana BF 60 TX Poston was one of 28 players across this week’s field of 82 who gamed a Titleist driver (39%) — 12 more than the next most played brand (16). Of the 28 Titleist drivers in play, 18 were new GTS models. That includes OWGR No. 3 Cameron Young (NEW GTS3 10.0&amp;#176;) and OWGR No. 4 (NEW GTS2 9.0&amp;#176;), both of whom put GTS in the bag for the first time this week. Since launching on the PGA TOUR at the Texas Children’s Houston Open, GTS drivers have been earning their way into players’ bag week in and week out. Currently, over 65 players on the PGA TOUR are gaming a GTS2 , GTS3 or GTS4 model. Poston’s victory also makes it nine PGA TOUR wins for Titleist driver players since March 8. Titleist has been the most played driver on the PGA TOUR for seven straight seasons and counting. POSTON CLUTCH WITH T-SERIES IRONS Gaming his blended set of T-Series irons, Poston gained over eight shots on the field with his approach play (+8.081, 2nd) and hit 68% GIR (T4). His iron play also came up clutch when he needed it most on Sunday. Facing a 162-yard approach on the 72nd hole and needing a birdie to force extra holes, Poston pulled his T100 8-iron and stuck his approach to 7 feet, 5 inches. Poston is among the approximately 80% of Titleist PGA TOUR players who game a setup of multiple iron models, demonstrating the importance of custom fitting and optimization throughout the set: T150 4-iron | True Temper Project X 6.5 T100 5–9 irons | True Temper Project X 6.5 POSTON GAINS AROUND THE GREENS WITH VOKEY SETUP Poston&amp;#39;s wedge play was solid all week long, as he ranked third in Scrambling (70%) and gained +1.182 strokes around the greens with his four-Vokey setup: Vokey Design SM10 46.10F, 50.08F, 56.10S (@ 55&amp;#176;), WedgeWorks 60L wedges Versatility in Poston’s wedge setup has been key since his first wedge fitting with Vokey Tour Rep Aaron Dill at the Titleist Performance Institute in Oceanside, Calif. By employing different grinds in his sand and lob wedge, Poston has a wider range of shots at his disposal around the greens. &amp;quot;What I took away from [the fitting], and I still use today, is [Dill] asked me ‘why is your bounce the same on your sand wedge and your lob wedge?’ And I didn&amp;#39;t have an answer for it. It was just ‘That&amp;#39;s what I&amp;#39;ve used as a kid in junior golf and college golf.’ I&amp;#39;m not one for change usually. And so, if I know that it&amp;#39;s working, I&amp;#39;m like, ‘I&amp;#39;m going to keep doing it.’ But there was no real method, no real reason to why I was doing it. And [Dill] made a great point. If you kind of give one maybe a little more [bounce] and one that has a little less, it gives you more of a variety around the greens without having to really change too much other than just how the club reacts.” Poston’s 56-degree S Grind has 10 degrees of bounce, while his 60-degree L Grind lob wedge has 4 degrees of bounce. RYAN GERARD CONTINUES FORM WITH RUNNER-UP FINISH Following a T10 at last week’s Charles Schwab Challenge, Titleist Brand Ambassador Ryan Gerard carded rounds of 67-69-72-68, matching Poston’s 72-hole total of 12 under. It marked Gerard’s third runner finish of the season, having begun his 2026 campaign with a solo second at the Sony Open and a T2 result at the American Express. For the week at Muirfield Village, Gerard was lights out on the green with his Scotty Cameron Phantom 3 tour prototype putter, leading the field with over 10 strokes gained putting (+10.551). He averaged 109 feet, 6 inches of putts made per round (2nd) and 1.62 putts per GIR (3rd). His gamer showed up in a big way down the stretch, as Gerard drained a 36-foot, 9-inch birdie effort on the 71st to reach 12 under.

He gained +1.402 strokes at Colonial, then +8.081 (2nd) this week at Memorial with an average Proximity of 27 feet, 11 inches (3rd). In Friday’s windswept second round, which Justin Thomas called “probably the most difficult round I’ve played on tour,” Poston gained +3.335 on approach on his way to a 7-under 65. “I don’t think I can put into words how good [J.T.’s] round was today,” Thomas posted. “We actually switched to a different golf ball. I went to the Left Dash that Titleist makes last week,” Poston said after his second round. “It&amp;#39;s supposed to help me a little bit in the wind. So we felt like today was going to be a good test of that and it obviously performed really well. We had a couple shots that I felt like didn&amp;#39;t quite hit &amp;#39;em perfect and it hung in there pretty well. So I feel like just having that confidence in that too is big, where I just — we&amp;#39;re trying to hit the smart shot and hit the right shot and just trying to execute and go from there.” Poston joins Jordan Spieth , who also recently made the move to Pro V1x Left Dash five starts ago at the Cadillac Championship. Poston’s victory Sunday made it eight wins over the last eight weeks for Titleist golf ball players on the PGA TOUR, following victories by Matt Fitzpatrick (Pro V1x) , Alex Fitzpatrick (Pro V1x) , Cameron Young (Pro V1x Double Dot) , Kristoffer Reitan (Pro V1) , Aaron Rai (Pro V1) , Wyndham Clark (Pro V1x) and Russell Henley (Pro V1x) . POSTON WINS WITH GTS3 DRIVER; ANOTHER VICTORY FOR TITLEIST DRIVER PLAYERS Titleist drivers continue to deliver on the game’s biggest stages, as J.T. Poston brought his NEW GTS3 driver to the winner’s circle at Muirfield Village: NEW GTS3 9.0&amp;#176; driver | A•1 SureFit hosel, Neutral SureFit CG | Mitsubishi Diamana BF 60 TX Poston was one of 28 players across this week’s field of 82 who gamed a Titleist driver (39%) — 12 more than the next most played brand (16). Of the 28 Titleist drivers in play, 18 were new GTS models. That includes OWGR No. 3 Cameron Young (NEW GTS3 10.0&amp;#176;) and OWGR No. 4 (NEW GTS2 9.0&amp;#176;), both of whom put GTS in the bag for the first time this week. Since launching on the PGA TOUR at the Texas Children’s Houston Open, GTS drivers have been earning their way into players’ bag week in and week out. Currently, over 65 players on the PGA TOUR are gaming a GTS2 , GTS3 or GTS4 model. Poston’s victory also makes it nine PGA TOUR wins for Titleist driver players since March 8. Titleist has been the most played driver on the PGA TOUR for seven straight seasons and counting. POSTON CLUTCH WITH T-SERIES IRONS Gaming his blended set of T-Series irons, Poston gained over eight shots on the field with his approach play (+8.081, 2nd) and hit 68% GIR (T4). His iron play also came up clutch when he needed it most on Sunday. Facing a 162-yard approach on the 72nd hole and needing a birdie to force extra holes, Poston pulled his T100 8-iron and stuck his approach to 7 feet, 5 inches. Poston is among the approximately 80% of Titleist PGA TOUR players who game a setup of multiple iron models, demonstrating the importance of custom fitting and optimization throughout the set: T150 4-iron | True Temper Project X 6.5 T100 5–9 irons | True Temper Project X 6.5 POSTON GAINS AROUND THE GREENS WITH VOKEY SETUP Poston&amp;#39;s wedge play was solid all week long, as he ranked third in Scrambling (70%) and gained +1.182 strokes around the greens with his four-Vokey setup: Vokey Design SM10 46.10F, 50.08F, 56.10S (@ 55&amp;#176;), WedgeWorks 60L wedges Versatility in Poston’s wedge setup has been key since his first wedge fitting with Vokey Tour Rep Aaron Dill at the Titleist Performance Institute in Oceanside, Calif. By employing different grinds in his sand and lob wedge, Poston has a wider range of shots at his disposal around the greens. &amp;quot;What I took away from [the fitting], and I still use today, is [Dill] asked me ‘why is your bounce the same on your sand wedge and your lob wedge?’ And I didn&amp;#39;t have an answer for it. It was just ‘That&amp;#39;s what I&amp;#39;ve used as a kid in junior golf and college golf.’ I&amp;#39;m not one for change usually. And so, if I know that it&amp;#39;s working, I&amp;#39;m like, ‘I&amp;#39;m going to keep doing it.’ But there was no real method, no real reason to why I was doing it. And [Dill] made a great point. If you kind of give one maybe a little more [bounce] and one that has a little less, it gives you more of a variety around the greens without having to really change too much other than just how the club reacts.” Poston’s 56-degree S Grind has 10 degrees of bounce, while his 60-degree L Grind lob wedge has 4 degrees of bounce. RYAN GERARD CONTINUES FORM WITH RUNNER-UP FINISH Following a T10 at last week’s Charles Schwab Challenge, Titleist Brand Ambassador Ryan Gerard carded rounds of 67-69-72-68, matching Poston’s 72-hole total of 12 under. It marked Gerard’s third runner finish of the season, having begun his 2026 campaign with a solo second at the Sony Open and a T2 result at the American Express. For the week at Muirfield Village, Gerard was lights out on the green with his Scotty Cameron Phantom 3 tour prototype putter, leading the field with over 10 strokes gained putting (+10.551). He averaged 109 feet, 6 inches of putts made per round (2nd) and 1.62 putts per GIR (3rd). His gamer showed up in a big way down the stretch, as Gerard drained a 36-foot, 9-inch birdie effort on the 71st to reach 12 under.

Said Chacarra: “Shot of my career, maybe. That was a little tweener, but with adrenaline, I’m going to try to hit this one hard, it flew 10-15 [yards] longer than we thought. So, proud to see the ball land on the green and then took a nice first putt to give me a putt that you always dream of, a putt that you can’t really miss to win a tournament.” In total control of his Pro V1 golf ball, Chacarra led the field in Strokes Gained: Tee to Green with an average of +3.70 per round. Posting rounds of 69-69-65-70, Chacarra finished the week at 11 under par while leading a 1-2 finish for Titleist golf ball players. Runner-up Oliver Lindell (Pro V1x) was the only player to post all four rounds in the 60s (69-67-69-69).

My Handicap on GHIN is a 9.2. I haden&amp;#39;t played golf in 3 weeks, because I was on vacation fishing, that is my other hobby. We played at 6:50 AM so it was too early to warm up and hit balls I grabbed my new driver without hitting it. Just played the A1 setting it was on when delivered. I am pleased to say that I hit all 14 fairways !! I definitely noticed distance gains over my GT2, Which by the way I loved !! My ball flight was a nice fade with distance, not a weak fade either. I currently have a TP T Nitro shaft in my GT and I am not sure if I will even put that in my GTS2, I hit the ball so well with the 1k RIP shaft. I will be comparing shafts this week on the driving range. First impressions the GTS2 is a great driver and I believe it is faster than the GT2. So far for me it was worth buying the GTS2. I also play Titleist AVX ball if anyone is wondering.

I had GT3 and was fit into GTS3. My choice is based upon numbers that work for me and what side of the golf course I am trying to eliminate. With GTS3, ball speed actually went down but I launched it higher and had better spin which in turn allowed me to hit it higher and farther. More important for me, my misses both left or right did not run away from me. My heel miss, push cut didn&amp;#39;t bleed out and my pull didn&amp;#39;t tumble over.</description></item><item><title>Forum Post: First Hole in One-Chris Sommer</title><link>https://www.titleist.ca/teamtitleist/team-titleist/f/hole-in-one-stories/75352/first-hole-in-one-chris-sommer</link><pubDate>Mon, 08 Jun 2026 15:59:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">9ab519fc-5311-4952-85cd-0a0ceffb73fb:52044e96-56fc-4042-93b7-c1430f24e16b</guid><dc:creator>CSommer</dc:creator><description>Oct 9, 2025 Irving Golf Club Hole #12 96 yards 56* SM10 Vokey Wedge D Grind My first ever hole in one. I was starting to believe that I may not ever get one. I have been a single digit handicap player for 30+ years but have never been lucky enough to make a hole in one......until that day, 8 Days after my 50th birthday. I had gotten fitted for vokey wedges and a GT2 driver from our local Titleist rep Chase Wood. He replaced every wedge in my bag in July of 2025. Paired with my trusty Titleist ProV1X I hit a slight draw just right of the pin and she spun left and dropped into the hole, we where able to see it go down. This was during a tournament and needless to say, I was closest to the pin. The best part was the tournament host had an open bar so I didn&amp;#39;t have to lower my credit worthiness at the 19th hole. www.titleist.com/.../aotizqzacvoqxxsslgcb</description></item><item><title>Forum Post: RE: Titleist GTS Driver Reviews: Real Golfer Fitting Experiences</title><link>https://www.titleist.ca/teamtitleist/team-titleist/f/the-clubhouse/75277/titleist-gts-driver-reviews-real-golfer-fitting-experiences/377671#377671</link><pubDate>Mon, 08 Jun 2026 15:56:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">9ab519fc-5311-4952-85cd-0a0ceffb73fb:c4a450c4-6f9a-4f49-b05c-ef8954148b42</guid><dc:creator>Ron T</dc:creator><description>I was fit on May 4, and was amazed. I am coming from the TSr3, and prior to that was in the TSi3. I didn&amp;#39;t have a great experience with the GT fitting, however, this time it was amazing. Chase Wood fit me at Sherrill Park, and his ability to change the shot shape, launch, and total distance was wild to me. However, the most incredible was the ability to dial down the spin, even to the point of not enough spin! The split weighting on the GTS2 was the winner for me, +4 grams, and 15 front/5 back. Then we started on the shafts... and I wound up in the Graphite Design Di7x. I walked away so pumped for a new driver that would restore some confidence on the tee box! It was delivered on Friday last week, and I was able to hit a few balls on Saturday. I was worried that my fitting experience wouldn&amp;#39;t carry over to the &amp;quot;real world&amp;quot; but I have to say I was thrilled to find that I was able to hit the same shots with it that I saw during my fitting! In other words, it worked! I was blown away by the stability for such a light driver and the speed was consistent with what I saw during the fitting. This driver is a complete game changer from the tee box forward! I haven&amp;#39;t been this excited about a new club since I got my U500 3i ... Thanks Titleist for a phenomenal new tool in the bag!</description></item><item><title>Forum Post: First Hole In One</title><link>https://www.titleist.ca/teamtitleist/team-titleist/f/hole-in-one-stories/75351/first-hole-in-one</link><pubDate>Mon, 08 Jun 2026 15:46:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">9ab519fc-5311-4952-85cd-0a0ceffb73fb:f04384a8-efe0-4be0-a204-5b935c58ff55</guid><dc:creator>Morgan R</dc:creator><description>I was playing in charity event for the local educational foundation with my wife and another couple. We were on the 13th hole and I was the first to hit. It was a blind shot as the hole was tucked behind a mound on the green. It was about 120 yards and I hit a smooth 3/4 PW. Once I made contact, I said &amp;quot;that could be good&amp;quot; to myself. When it landed, I said out loud that could be in! My friends wife replied with &amp;quot;You got a hole in one?&amp;quot;. I said no, but it is probably pretty close as we couldn&amp;#39;t see it go in. Everyone else hit and as we drove up to the green, we didn&amp;#39;t see anything on the green and I realize there was a bunker just beyond the pin. I figured it was in there and when it wasn&amp;#39;t in the bunker I checked the hole and the party started from there!! It was a gorgeous June day in Maine on the Ocean.

I am a very new golfer and started playing from September 2025, I then decided I would buy a membership and have been playing twice a week most weeks. Current handicap is 24 so I was never expecting to get a hole in one.....ever! I was playing ok for my standard and came to the 9th hole (par 3, 140-150yds), the green sloped to the left and I was using my 8 iron to hit the right side of the green.... It was a great shot and I thought a birdie was on the cards, as I turned back I noticed the ball wasn&amp;#39;t slowing down until it just disappeared! I nearly knocked my playing partner over and the club shop heard the cheers. I think I&amp;#39;ve told everyone I know twice haha.

The ace came on the 14th hole, a par 3 measuring 175 yards from the white tees. Playing alongside my two sons, Adam and Josh, I selected my 5-iron and struck a shot that felt perfect from the moment it left the clubface. The ball flew straight at the flag, landed on the green and then disappeared from view. As we walked towards the green, none of us could immediately see the ball. When we reached the hole, we discovered the reason – it had dropped straight into the cup for a hole-in-one. What made the achievement even more memorable was the ball I was playing: a personalised Titleist Pro V1x with the number 71, representing my year of birth. After many years of playing golf, this was my first hole-in-one. To achieve it on a 175-yard par 3 with a 5-iron, using my personalised Pro V1x, was an incredible moment. The fact that I was able to share it with my sons, Adam and Josh, made it even more special and is a memory that the three of us will cherish forever. I only recently became aware of Titleist&amp;#39;s Hole-in-One recognition programme and wanted to share this special achievement. Thank you, Titleist, for producing a golf ball that I trust and for recognising golfers who achieve this rare milestone. www.titleist.com/.../voh4wbd1rhyrccmw7k45 www.titleist.com/.../ohhsoskxvbmviuswahhl</description></item><item><title>Forum Post: Hole-in-One Albatross, 332 yds, Thodore Wirth - Minneapolis</title><link>https://www.titleist.ca/teamtitleist/team-titleist/f/hole-in-one-stories/75346/hole-in-one-albatross-332-yds-thodore-wirth---minneapolis</link><pubDate>Mon, 08 Jun 2026 14:11:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">9ab519fc-5311-4952-85cd-0a0ceffb73fb:8d6ab606-1ec3-4dfd-8bd9-01f0cc7ee611</guid><dc:creator>Daniel S</dc:creator><description>Hellooo Titleist!! On 6/7/2026 I went to Theodore Wirth Golf Club for my first time in Minneapolis, MN. Round didn’t start the greatest, had a couple OB shots on the front 9. Tough course with dog legs, water, and heavy woods. Get to the turn and grab hot dog and orange gatorade. Pretty backed up at hole 10, eventually tee off and got a Par. We ride up to hole 11 tee box. Notice its basically a long straight fairway with a huge downslope to the green, maybe around 40, 50 feet? Group in front of us is just driving down the hill so the other 3 in our group tee off first since I hit the longest. I tee up a Titleist 2, Pro V1x using a Cobra LTDx driver. It was the most perfect, smoothest swing I have ever felt. Piped it slightly to the left of dead center fairway with a slight fade. Of course we cant see the green so we drive up and im looking everywhere for my ball. Did it go deep into the thick stuff? Did it get a wild kick somewhere else? During about 5-10 minutes of searching, the other guys in the group are finishing up the hole. Kenny in our group putted in first and sure enough says “dude there’s a Titleist 2 in the hole!!!” And immediately I throw my hands up running to the hole freaking out. A great drive and a little but of luck from the golf gods lol. We eventually finish the round, I asked the group in front of us if they saw the ball come but they said they were already hitting on the next tee box and didn’t see it. Spoke to Zach the clubhouse manager, and he congratulated me saying they will get the exact distance to the hole from the blue tees on 11. My 18 birdies app showed 332 yds to the middle green and the hole placement was slightly bottom right of that. Zach also mentioned Titleist being an offical sponser of the course will be reaching out, the local paper, and possibly Cobra too. After a round with the boys that witnessed it (Jesse, Blake, and Kenny) I went and bought a powerball ticket and told the clubhouse I will be back next Sunday! I have attached some pictures, until the next one! Thanks Titleist!
