Great time had by all at Deerwood.  Thanks to Chris and Hernan for getting it together and a big thank you to Mike DePaulo for bringing good cheer and Titilist gifts for our outing. Glad to have had everyone yo my Home Course and enjoy it!

Your course was excellent, Jim!  Can't wait to play it again!

Looks like a fantastic time was had by all.

Mike D. is one of the best in the business and Team Titleist is lucky to have him leading the great place we all enjoy.

another great outing in houston... mike D, James aka bubba, Liz and all the other TT staff was always been top notch on all the outing from prizes and support.. Wish i got to be at this one to meet Mike but hope to see him or any of y'all in the future.. 

Mike D,

How was your first trip to Waffle House? 

Waffle House was the perfect end to the "Tin Cup Trip" and it exceeded all expectations...

Glad you enjoyed it. 

Here are a few more pictures of the gang at Deerwood:

I had a fantastic time! Big thanks to Mike DePaolo for joining us.  

Thanks for coming down Mike D!

Don't feel bad Doug I missed it also. Ted did email me last minute but before I could respond the spot was closed, maybe next time.

34 players actually showed of the 36 who signed up--a great turnout.  The weather cooperated (for the most part) with only a short bit of rain for most of the field.  Our Tin Cup challenge on hole #4, where the movie was filmed, resulted in a shot from the plaque to about 6-9 feet above the hole.  Winner received an engraved tin cup, a Waffle House T-shirt, and a DVD of the movie.  

We especially enjoyed having Mike DePaolo come down from Massachusetts to participate in this event.  The group always appreciates the support it receives from Titleist and this outing was certainly no exception.

Here are some photos:

More later.

We had a great time yesterday at beautiful and very challenging The Deerwood Club... definitely glad I decided to put this outing together alongside Chris Price, who, by the way, deserves a lot of credit for taking care of the logistics behind this one.

I cannot thank Mike DePaolo enough for his charm and approachability and for showing all of us what Team Titleist is all about... showing love to those who love golf. Having such a great brand advocate makes a big difference and even makes some of us, sinners that don't play everything Titleist, reconsider such a stance, hehehe.

Sounds like you all had a great time.  There's a great sense of community in the Team Titleist family and it starts at the top with support that Mike D and Titleist provides to amateur golfers like ourselves.  

Another excellent outing!  Deerwood CC was a beautiful challenging course with great amenities and an awesome staff.  Special thanks to Mike DePaulo for coming out to play a round with us and speak to the group.  It is customer relations like that that keep loyal customers and will make others consider their brand with the next purchase.  I know I will.  Chris and Hernan did a tremendous job organizing this event.  I am grateful to be a part of two great groups!  Team Titleist and Houston GolfWRX.
