Titleist Dominating Amateur Golf

[r7 425]

Ive played a lot of amateur golf. High School -Pittsburgh Tour events Heritage Tour stuff like that--Ive seen one consistent. Titleist dominating bags of amateurs. Most Titleist guys play the clubs head to toe. While at Oakmont there are a lot of members who play Titleist. Its pretty overwhelming how much Titleist is played by amateurs. They have a really good marketing strategy and are the best at getting the younger crowd into their clubs, so they stay loyal. Also i went to a college invitational and wouldnt believe the amount of Titleist clubs there. It was unbelievable. Credit to Titleist marketing

I think that you hit it on the head with the marketing as they really try to be the "better player's club". This applies to the competitive amateur because they are either in that category or trying to get there.

They are also very classic in their design and that appeals to good young players imo.

I work at the pro shop at Western Illinois University, and a lot of the guys on the team like Mizuno for irons, but other than that, it's mostly Titleist and Taylormade. Tim Streng, our All-American from last year is a pretty loyal Titleist guy.

They have been a consistent, durable product for decades with a great reputation. Just a great company.

True, I'm 15 and like how classically designed their drivers/woods still are (not talking about thier 2008 iron likeup though ). Once I start to get better within the next few years and start playing some major junior/amateur tournaments, I would not mind playing all Titleist, aside from the irons which will most likely stay Hogans. Very elegant and classic. A few people on my golf team already have full Titleist bags, just a little steep pricewise for me right now, ESPECIALLY the Scotty putters. But overall great clubs.

I've always viewed Titleists as better players' clubs. I had Titleists back when I was in HS and on the golf team. Once I graduated and hit college, my handicap skyrocketed. Now I'm married with kids and know I need game-improvement clubs.

I think there's just a perception that if you have Titleists, you're a serious golfer. No one will question your equipment.

Titleist equipment in golf is like having a Rawlings Pro Preferred glove in baseball...if you have it, people assume you're a player.

I'm however, a more of a "new wave" kinda guy. I wear funky clothes (on the golf course, most, if not all J. Lindeberg, who I have modeled for) and like to stand out. I try out the newest equipment whenever I can and even though I love tradition, i like some edge.

Thus, i commend people who like to try out new stuff while still keeping somewhat of a relationship to the past.
