    20 Years in the Canadian Air Force and now doing business development for an International Defense Contractor. Golfing when work and family allows - fortunately I have three other golfers at home which makes freeing up the weekends a bit easier! Will miss the winter trips south this year for sure but have installed a golf simulator to get us through the long Canadian winter.

    Thanks for this Michael, what a fascinating post. I love all of the replies. I am former Air Force, 1999-2003 Intelligence Analyst/Morse Code Op. I have been doing IT work for the past 20+ years... retirement is nowhere near at this point, but I'm pining for it! I play at least 1x a week, and practice as much as I can. I have 3 kids, a great wife and live in Southeast Idaho (Blackfoot). My dad introduced me to the game at the age of 6, I'm a 10.1 handicap and working towards single digits this year. I am a Titleist convert, first started with the Pro V1x and then into 714 AP2s, I currently game a TM driver, but thinking about the new TSi series or a TS series when they go on sale! Love Titleist and love this community, if anyone is in the Southeast Idaho area, let's catch up for some golf!

    Retired US Army (66-92), with two tours in RVN. Then another 15 years working for US Government. Spent much of my time post 1977 focused on various Middle Eastern issues, Retired the second time at the end of 2007 and finally moved to a warmer climate so I could play more golf during more of the year. Play 4-5 times a week most months. Proud to be Titleist through the bag and a FJ Ambassador. At 76 still carry a single digit index for the majority of the year, but it does get tougher each year.

    Totally Titleist, TS3 Metals, 718 AP1s, Vokey Wedges and Cameron Delmar. Retired Military 1971-1993, then a career in Consumer Healthcare Industry 1994-2019. Thought I would retire again, work part time in the golf community and golf more. Not this year! remote learning with the grandchildren and a couple of Honey-dos keep me busy. But my one day a week is all day. 8am to 8 pm practice-lunch-golf-dinner. Life is good :)

    It's very nice getting to know everyone! What a great way to break the ice. I am 42 year old father of 2 and married my high school sweetheart. Been playing golf since I was about 12 with my older brother. Played almost daily in my 20's after college with a group of buddies (before marriage & kids). Now; unfortunately, I play at best once or twice a month. Just love the game and the surroundings. Nothing like the serenity of being on a fresh cut course. Heck; it doesn't matter what course....just any course. That's the beauty of the game we all have fallen in love with. I recently started playing Titleist irons and woods along with my beloved Cameron flat stick. I can honestly say, that you get what you pay for! The equipment upgrades alone have made huge improvements in my game. Oh, and finding a Pro-V in the "jing weeds" still gives me goosebumps!

    This is somewhat of an random, informal poll of Team Titleist. Obviously we are all die hard Titleist folks. My equipment is totally Titleist thru & thru. But I am wondering who we are.

    Are we: Blue collar? White collar? Retired? Military or Ex-Military? I myself, am blue collar, a carpenter for 30 plus years, who loves this crazy game. And unfortunately no sign of retirement in the near future!

    Retired blue collar worker. My friend , a titleist rep, passed on now, got me started playing at around 40. I still try to play as often as possible. All my stuff is titleist. I am a high handicap but i have a blast.

    Where do I begin...first complete set of irons (which weren't mismatched) was the Titleist DTR...boy do I miss those clubs. Over the years I've gone through different irons and manufacturers. Currently gaming the 718 AP3 and waiting on the new TSi driver and fairway wood (just ordered them). I'm a dentist in Northern California who once worked evenings at a local golf course as a starter and driving range attendant; imagine the weird looks I would get from my patients who would recognize me giving them tokens for the range...talk about funny conversations. Sadly, I had to drop that "career" for my day job once my family started to grow. I'm going to the Team Titleist Invitational at Bandon Dunes and I look forward to meeting more of the Titleist family.

    LOL, love your picture!!
  14. I came to golf later in life after enjoying the occasionally summer trip with co-workers to Palm Springs where the "nice" courses were in the budget. White color, high-tech, trying to switch from "vacation golfer" to playing a couple of times per month.

Golf is Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. All Titleist from U510 driving irons, TS2 driver, 3 wood, and hybrid, 714 AP2 irons, and Scotty putters. Love them all!

    I guess I’m white collar - been in manufacturing for the past 30 years. This year has been crazy, as we manufacture components used in ventilators. Exceeded last years total production in 4 months. 60+ hour work weeks meant no golf until late August rolled around

    I’ll be 59 next week, started playing this great game in my 40’s. All Titleist in the bag. Hoping this will be a reasonably mild winter so I can play through until Spring.

    Blue Collar most of my life, White Collar for the last several years. Was a png guy for the majority of my golf life, been on the Team Titleist for the last 3 years. Recently moved to Florida from Central Illinois and I've been playing some of the better golf of my life this year. Hoping not having that Midwest "off-season" anymore will translate into a lower handicap and much better scores.
