2026 Players Series at San Diego Country Club (Event Recap)

Stephen F — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 17:15:20 GMT

After an unforgettable experience in 2025, we were honored to return to San Diego Country Club, a venue steeped in history and tradition, for another exclusive Team Titleist experience. This time, the stage was set for the launch of our first-ever Individual Competitive Players Series event, bringing together a group of passionate, competitive golfers for a day defined by performance, camaraderie, and premium access.

Team Titleist Members arrived mid-morning and were welcomed with their coveted tee gifts before making their way to the practice facilities. On the range and putting green, players had the opportunity to engage directly with our Titleist Product Specialists, testing the latest innovations including the new Vokey Design SM11 wedges and the newest Scotty Cameron putters. Arccos Golf was also on-site, offering a firsthand look at the Arccos Air and Smart Laser Rangefinder, bringing next-level data and precision into the hands of our members.

Following lunch, play began at Noon. Calm conditions quickly gave way to an unexpected breeze just before tee-off, adding an extra challenge to the day. As expected from this group, the level of play never wavered. TT Member Ethan M. led the field with an impressive 73 to secure Low Gross, while Imran F. delivered a standout Net 67. Across all flights, competition remained tight, with several divisions coming down to the final holes.

The day built toward a dramatic finish as five net flight winners and two low gross leaders advanced to an 18th-hole shootout. With everything on the line, players navigated a pressure-packed format. Three pars were enough to advance, followed by a decisive 130-yard approach into a demanding green. In the end, it was TT Member Grant B. who rose to the moment, rolling in a clutch putt to secure the overall title in front of the group.

Following play, members gathered in the clubhouse for a post-round reception featuring dinner, drinks, and awards for an opportunity to celebrate a day well played and connect with fellow members who share the same passion for the game.

A sincere thank you to the team at San Diego Country Club for their exceptional hospitality, and to our Team Titleist Members for bringing the competitive spirit that made this inaugural Players Series event such a success.

Add The Grand Del Mar if you can. It’s where we had this year’s “The Dale”. It’s a good one.

Quick Poll: Can you break par at Shinnecock Hills?

Ryan B — Fri, 19 Jun 2026 18:03:06 GMT

Shinnecock Hills is one of golf’s most historic and demanding tests. From the firm conditions to the rolling greens, even the world’s best players have been challenged as they take on Shinnecock this weekend. Watch as Peter Finch puts his game to the test:

Depends on the tees that we play from. From the backs and thirty years ago, a slim maybe, . Today, even with 10 foot gimmes, no chance.

Nice, would love to get back there. I'm heading to SD in two weeks, playing Torrey North, Goat Hill, Aviara, Encinitas Ranch, and maybe one other before I head back East.

Ontario, Canada - fitting days

Jeff G — Thu, 09 Jul 2026 00:21:39 GMT

Hi everyone

Quick question - when I go to book a fitting I see they have these “Titleist fitting events” …. specifically at Hidden Lake. There is no mention of a charge or cost for the fitting.

Are these complimentary fittings? Seems they’re very random and limited space.

Thanks!

They told us they were shutting down for at least 12 months for a complete renovation after our event this year. It was already a great course, can't wait to see the improvements.

SDCC was great last year, wish I could have made it back again this year. Next time, for sure.

2026 TT Member-Member Event at The Tree Farm (Event Recap)

Allan — Tue, 16 Jun 2026 15:45:08 GMT

In May, Team Titleist members from across the country gathered at The Tree Farm for the inaugural Team Titleist Member-Member. Between the golf, the hospitality, the cabins, the food, and the company, it didn't take long before whispers of "best Team Titleist event ever" began circulating.

Over the course of the weekend, participants enjoyed two rounds of competition on The Tree Farm's acclaimed layout, playing alongside caddies in a two-person best ball format. The event offered plenty of competitive moments, but as is often the case at Team Titleist events, the experience extended well beyond the leaderboard.

As if the golf wasn't enough, the food somehow stole the show. From lobster rolls and fresh ahi to roasted duck, peach cobbler, top-shelf wines, and some of the finest cuts of beef you'll find anywhere, every meal felt like an event unto itself. Pair that with cabin hangs, late-night stories, and golf at Tree Farm, and it's no surprise nobody wanted the weekend to end.

The event also featured exclusive product experiences with guests being among the first golfers to experience New Titleist GTS drivers. We also had New Scotty Cameron OC low-torque putters on the practice greens, and a Vokey Design Par-3 1-Club Shootout, where guests were able to pick any fresh-grooved SM11 wedge of their choice for the challenge.

Following two rounds of competition, Kitae K. and Mike D. emerged as the inaugural Team Titleist Member-Member Champions. The title was decided in a sudden-death shootout, where Kitae nearly jarred his tee shot on the opening hole before Mike rolled in the short birdie putt to seal the win and become the first champions in event history.

While every team arrived hoping to compete, the lasting memories were created through the shared experiences that make Team Titleist events so special: great golf, great people, and a community brought together by a love of the game.

A sincere thank you to everyone who joined us at The Tree Farm and helped make the inaugural Team Titleist Member-Member such a memorable success. We look forward to seeing what the future holds for this newest Team Titleist tradition.

Thanks for sharing the pics. Looks like a lot of fun.

Things are looking up.....

Chuck Zirkle — Mon, 15 Jun 2026 22:55:07 GMT

It has been a long haul, but things are starting to fall in place. Played in our men's Interclub matches today. It has been a long time since I have been physically able to do that. September 2025. Have been working on my game, not quite where I want it to be yet, but getting there. Sand traps and I just have not gelled yet. Finish tied for 7th today and in the money. A sweet 84. What a great feeling.

Eleven teams playing with ten members on each team, top eight scores count. We finished second as a team, losing to the home team by one point. Their greens were not in the best of conditions. Like putting on a carpet, but as the saying goes, we all had to put on them. Hammer time.

Our course is the next match on the 29th. They hate our greens because they are fast and lots of undulations. .

Back still hurts, had MRI for muscle strain in lower back. Know results on Thursday. Was told it takes three months to heal. Salonpas helps. Feels so good to be back in the game. Hakuna matata.

RE: Things are looking up.....

Erich F — Wed, 08 Jul 2026 01:49:38 GMT

Chuck a lot to digest. First of all, great to hear you are back out there. As far as the travel goes, I hope you get things worked out. I was lucky enough to play a round of golf in Kinsale on our Ireland trip a few years back. We will be going again as the people, and the whiskey, are top notch.

We’re excited to officially introduce New Titleist GTS Drivers and Fairways, now available for fittings and pre-sale.

Developed through extensive player testing, tour validation, and advanced multi-material engineering, the new lineup from the #1 Driver on Tour represents the next evolution of Titleist metalwood performance.

From the first swings on tour to the feedback we’ve already started hearing from fittings, one thing has been consistent: NEW GTS metals are special.

Rather than tell the full story here, we want you to hear directly from the Titleist experts behind NEW GTS metals.

Watch the launch story below and share your first impressions with the Team Titleist community, especially if you’ve already had the chance to experience a New GTS Driver or Fairway.

This totally does not describe my golf game The Players Series will be the more competitive option of the TT events. I've attended a couple and in addition to the competition level, I believe it's still about having fun and enjoying the great venues the TT crew has setup for us.

Thomas Y — Fri, 03 Jul 2026 17:35:41 GMT

While the fairways were wider, they may have played narrower due to wind and firmness. Some of the staffers drove it extremely well, Spieth being an example. Now, if only he could find a new magic wand - and I'd be in line for one, too!

RE: 2026 Players Series at San Diego Country Club (Event Recap)

Dale V — Fri, 03 Jul 2026 17:02:54 GMT

All our events have high, middle, and low handicapers and golfers of all ages, some women too. Most events use GHIN handicap numbers to track gross and net scores. A few events are also flighted into groups for better pairings and competition within similar capabilities. Most of all, we are there to have fun and spend time with our fellow TT members.

RE: NEW Titleist GTS Drivers and Fairways Have Arrived

BHershman — Thu, 02 Jul 2026 15:13:31 GMT

I did two fittings in the last 6 weeks with my local Titleist fitter (Adam Lash), I intended to try and get it done over the course of 1 session, but it was the first super hot day in SoFla and by the time I finished with driver and 3 wood, I was wiped. So I went back yesterday to get the rest of my bag sorted and ended up ordering GTS3 18 and 21 degree (both set in LH A4, which is 1 degree less). Now I wait, and hopefully get lucky that they arrive in time for my San Diego trip in three weeks.

Sounds mentally exhausting.
Go to know if you are thinking of leaving the USA, be it EU, UK, or Canada, be sure to check if you need a visa or other form to enter that country. The rules from 2000 are rapidly changing. Found out last year for a TT event at Cabot Cliffs, Canada wanted a form for the 4 day stay.
Not to mention if your passport expires in less than 6 months after your expected travel date - be sure to renew. .
