    I wonder if there are any nerds like me that keep things like this!!?? This is the very first Titleist golf ball I ever it!! In fact.... This is the first ball I ever hit period! I took it out of my Dad's bag when I was about 16 or so. I was a baseball player and golf really didn't interest me at that time. I remember my Mom is the summer took my brother Dave and I down to Auburn Golf Course outside of Seattle where we lived. She dropped us of on the road along the 11th hole and we snuck threw the hole in the fence. Dave used Dad's Titleist clubs and I used Mom's Patty Berg set. I took this ball out of Dad's bag. I never lost it the whole day! I put it in my dresser for decades. I've brought it out from time to time and played holes with it even to this day. I think this ball changed my life! I became a scratch player with in a year or so and to this day at the age of 58, I still hold a .9 hdcp. I have also only played one ball.... A Titleist!!! Crazy!! I guess I'm just a nerd that way.

  2. Nice story thanks for sharing. The first ball I used I lost and I continue to loose them so no favourite ball for me unless I never use it

    This is a cool story. I’m a sentimental kind of guy and have a hard time letting things go. Just like I’ve played Titleist from the beginning. However, like many of us I’ve tried other balls just out of curiosity. But in the end I could never take the Titleist name out of my bag. They are the #1 ball in golf for a reason. It’s not just about the name but about an experience that is given to golfers everywhere. Thank you Robert, for sharing your story and reminding us all why we play Titleist!
