    Was at a local golf shop getting new grips on my Irons and got told something that stuck with me…

    You don’t really look like a Titleist guy

    Not gonna lie—I didn’t even know how to take that.

    What does a “Titleist guy” even look like?

    I’ve always gravitated toward Titleist because of the performance, the consistency, and honestly just how clean everything looks in the bag. From the irons to the wedges to the ball—it just works for me. No gimmicks, just solid gear that lets you focus on your game.

    I’m not a scratch golfer. I don’t play 5 times a week. I’m just a guy who loves the game, works hard, and enjoys getting out when I can. And when I do, I want equipment I can trust.

    If anything, I thought that’s exactly what being a “Titleist guy” was about.

    Curious if anyone else has ever been told something like this—or what you think it even means.

    I think that comment says more about the person making the remark. Titleist has a wide breath of equipment and golf balls to suit players of all abilities and interest. He clearly has a specific expectation of what a Titleist customer should be.
  3. I have never been told this, but anyone who plays with me will see I am a Titleist guy by my bag, TT tag, clubs and balls and Aussie hat. Guess that goes for our fellow TT members.

    Sounds like a typical salesman judging a book by it's cover no matter what the cover looks like. I've seen it done to my uncle who walked into a dealership with a cashiers check for $65,000 to by a BMW for his wife (he is more of a truck guy) and nobody would get up to help him.

    I'm sure I don't look like a "Titleist Guy either" 66 years old, funky short swing that only gets it out there about 215 yards and am happy breaking 90. But I proudly have nearly a full bag of Titleist clubs and play the ProV 1 and get it to perform just fine for me..

    You and I are what the people at Titleist refer to as the Dedicated Golfer, and those come in all abilities and ages.

    You just met someone that is called a "Hater". Titleist is just a better product than the other companies. "I've tried PXG, TM, srxn, and png, and none of them come close, well maybe the TM Spider TourX putter, (Scotty got some work to do LoL). And then there's always Brand Loyalty, he probably plays another brand, and would find any reason to take a jab at another company. Don't let it bother you.

    I have no idea what it means or why he would even say something like that. Sounds like ignorance arrogance and unprofessional all rolled up into one.

    I have also been called a "Titleist Guy" bc majority of my equipment and gear is Titleist. My driver, irons and wedges are all Titleist.. Last year I moved to png 440 Max for fairways woods. I just couldn't hit the TSR or GT woods. It was a very tough decision. Titleist has served me well over the past 40 years. For me, what sets Titleist apart from all the others, is its people (fitters, customer service, sales and TT members). We are community that loves the game and value quality over flash. I am proud to be called a Titleist Guy

    I've been labeled a "Titleist" guy but that's becuase I am a proud Titleist guy. My first guess is the salesman was little on the older side and still has the preconceived notion that Titleist is solely for skilled players. Titleist has great offereings for all levels and their consistency in their products allows us all to get better because we know we can't blame the equipment. It's on us and us only!
    Anyway, be proud and carry on being the beautiful "Titleist Guy" that you are!

    At the course they call me a Titleist guy. It's because of the FJ apparel and shoes, Titleist hat, golf bag , balls and equipment. People are strange.

    Many years ago when I played another brand. The Jaguar dealership was having a promotion. Come in test drive a Jag amd get a free putter for that particular brand. At that time we were in the market for a new car for my wife and I could always use a new putter. I personally like KIA Sarento SUVs because of performance, low upkeep, great gas mileage and plenty of room for golf bags. So off we go to the dealership in my KIA dressed in that brand of clothing to test drive a Jag and get a putter. Pullled up front and was met by a young salesman. First thing out of his mounth was, "you are here for the putter, give me the coupon and I'll sign off on it and we'll be done." I said "no" were are here for my wife to test driver a Jaguar, but getting the putter will be nice. This went back and forth and we never got the opportunity to test drive a Jaguar. I got my putter. I wanted to complain by my wife the counselor said let it go. We drove across the street to the BMW dealership, test drove a new BMW and wrote them a check for it and have been a dedicated customer of that dealership for years. About a month later, I was in that area and decided to stop by. Was met by an older nice Englishman who was very helpful. Told him I had a complaint and would like to talk to whomever was in charge. Told him my story and he starting take me to the the sales manager's office and I said never mind. He is the person I need to file the complaint on, so I need to go above his head. The nice gentleman said he's as high as you can go at this dealership. I said no not really. I will make sure that I will tell as many people as I know about how I was treated in the Charleston golf community and the owner goes to the same dentist as I do and they are friends. Thanks for help and have a good day. He did apologize.

    Even though we may not have looked loke what he thought a Jaguar couple looks like, if she liked it, we would have writtern a check for it.

    Just don't call me late for meals. I fit that description. Hakuina matata.
