Team Titleist International: Casa de Campo (Event Recap)

Lisa M — Fri, 31 Jul 2026 12:53:46 GMT

Some places simply never get old.

This past June, Team Titleist members from around the world packed their passports, golf clubs, and sense of adventure for another unforgettable Team Titleist International experience, this time at the spectacular Casa de Campo Resort & Villas in the Dominican Republic.

Over five incredible days, members experienced world-class golf, unforgettable hospitality, and the friendships that continue to make Team Titleist so much more than a community of golfers.

A Warm Caribbean Welcome

The week began as members arrived at Casa de Campo and settled into one of the Caribbean's premier golf destinations. That evening, everyone gathered for our Welcome Reception, a chance to reconnect with familiar faces, welcome first-time attendees, and kick off another unforgettable international adventure.

To get the competitive spirit flowing, our instructors created a one-of-a-kind putting course using branches and natural materials found throughout the property. Equal parts creative and challenging, it was the perfect way to introduce everyone to the relaxed island atmosphere while adding a little friendly competition to the evening.

With three distinctly different Pete Dye layouts awaiting us, excitement was already building for the golf still to come.

Dye Fore

Our first round took us to the Marina and Lagos nines at Dye Fore, where dramatic elevation changes and sweeping views overlooking the Chavón River created a memorable start to the week.

Following the round, members spent the afternoon exploring the marina, cruising the resort in their personal golf carts, or making the trip to Altos de Chavón, the charming Mediterranean-inspired village overlooking the river. It was the perfect way to unwind before another incredible day of golf.

Teeth of the Dog

No visit to Casa de Campo is complete without experiencing Teeth of the Dog, and the anticipation was palpable as everyone gathered before our afternoon tee times.

Consistently ranked among the world's greatest golf courses, Teeth of the Dog delivered on every expectation. Seven breathtaking holes play directly along the Caribbean Sea, where crashing waves, ocean breezes, and immaculate course conditions create an unforgettable golf experience.

It quickly became the round everyone would be talking about.

That evening, members gathered over dinner and drinks, swapping stories of unforgettable shots, near misses, and the moments that made the day one to remember.

The Links

Our final round brought a completely different challenge at The Links.

Rolling terrain, strategic bunkering, and demanding approach shots rewarded patience and thoughtful course management, proving that each Pete Dye design at Casa de Campo offers its own unique personality.

After the round, members enjoyed one last afternoon to experience everything the resort has to offer, whether relaxing on the white-sand beaches, lounging beneath a poolside cabana, or simply soaking in the Caribbean sunshine before our closing celebration.

More Than Just Golf

As spectacular as the golf was, the moments away from the course are what truly define Team Titleist International.

Our final evening brought everyone together one last time for a closing dinner celebrating an unforgettable week. Of course, no Team Titleist event would be complete without a few prizes and raffles, as we recognized our Closest-to-the-Pin winners, putting contest champions, and handed out a few surprise giveaways along the way.

Throughout the week, members shared incredible meals, explored the resort together, wandered the streets of Altos de Chavón, and relived each day's rounds long after the final putt had dropped. Friendly wagers were settled, unforgettable shots were celebrated, and the occasional mis-hit became the source of plenty of laughs.

That's what makes Team Titleist International so special.

One of the most rewarding parts of every Team Titleist event is watching complete strangers become lifelong friends through a shared passion for the game. While the destinations are extraordinary, it's the people and the memories they create together who make these experiences truly unforgettable.

We can't wait to see where Team Titleist travels next.

2026 Team Titleist Vokey SM11 Launch (Event Recap)

Stephen F — Wed, 29 Jul 2026 14:44:28 GMT

Earlier this year, we celebrated the launch of the new Vokey Design SM11 wedges with an exclusive Team Titleist event, bringing together some of our most passionate members for a true tour-level experience.

Hosted at the Titleist Performance Institute, the afternoon began with an exclusive opportunity for Team Titleist members to receive a personalized wedge fitting where each player dialed in their wedge setup and experienced the performance of the new Vokey Design SM11 wedges in a true tour-level fitting environment.

Following the fittings, members gathered for a special presentation from Bob Vokey himself. Bob shared the inspiration, design philosophy, and technology behind the SM11 lineup, offering an inside look at the craftsmanship and innovation that continue to make Vokey Design the most played wedges on Tour.

No wedge event would be complete without sharpening the short game, so we welcomed Short Game Chef for an engaging clinic focused on scoring shots around the green. Members picked up practical techniques and insights they could immediately take to the course.

The experience continued on TPI's exclusive 9-hole short course, where members had the opportunity to put their wedges to the test. With perfect Southern California weather and plenty of creative shot-making, it was the ideal setting to experience the versatility and performance of the new wedges. Congratulations to Team Titleist member Tim G., who capped off the day with a hole-in-one!

We closed out the evening with dinner, drinks, and an awards presentation on the patio, giving members the chance to connect, share stories from the day, and celebrate an unforgettable launch event together.

A sincere thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate the launch of the Vokey Design SM11 wedges. We'd also like to thank our friends at the Titleist Performance Institute for their incredible hospitality and for helping make this experience possible.

RE: Black Vapor Has Arrived: New SM11 Wedges with Flight Lines + Limited Edition T-Series Irons

DONALD H — Fri, 31 Jul 2026 00:03:46 GMT

Received the new sm11 black vapors wedges this past Monday love them played with them a couple of times have to get used to the flight lines they are great looking wedges after a couple of rounds with them feel the finish will hold up well. I do have one major dissapointment the grips shown with the clubs the gold accented grips is not what was put on them!!! Titleist put white accented grips on them. I feel they take away from the overall looks of the clubs a great deal while I would have still got the wedges definitely would not have got those grips. had I known Titleist was was going to change the grips I would have at least have went with all black grips

This was an awesome, "everything wedges" event!
Getting to hear from Mr. Vokey and the Shortgame Chef while hitting some freshy groves and walking the new short course all at TPI - you can't ask for anything more.
It's a special place for a special event I was so honored to attend - thanks Team Titleist for hosting.

RE: Titleist GTS Driver Reviews: Real Golfer Fitting Experiences

Chuck Zirkle — Thu, 30 Jul 2026 17:28:27 GMT

In talking with my fitter and our rep, consistency is the biggest factor going from the GT to the GTS. If your are going from older model drivers you may gain some substantial yardage.

Titleist GTS Driver Reviews: Real Golfer Fitting Experiences

Allan — Fri, 05 Jun 2026 17:24:11 GMT

If you have been fit, tried, or purchased a new Titleist GTS driver, this is the thread where you can share your thoughts on look, feel, and performance.

To help get the conversation started, we pulled some of our favorites from reviews across our own forums and other online communities. And while we encourage you to read through all these thoughtful reviews below, we will continue to add staff favorites as they come in.

Staff Favorites

"Had my GTS fitting, didn't think they could get that much better, but picked up 4mph ball speed and 15 yards on average. Moving to a GTS3 from the GT2 and just bombed some drives. And the fairway woods. Wow. Love the face change, just adds more confidence and great launch." — Tim M.

"Gamed [a GTS driver] this weekend at the Team Titleist Ballyhack event. Definitely hotter across the face than GT. Especially noticed increased carry on a couple of thinned drives. They still got out there! Sound has also improved over GT, more similar to TSR. Also hit the GTS4 a few times and it's really good. First time I've seen a 460cc head in the 4 option." — Wade W.

"My GTS4 is cooking right now. Not sure what kind of funky voodoo they put in this thing, but wow." — MtnBiker5

Let's not stop here. For anyone who gets fit for a GTS driver or adds one to their bag, we would love to hear your review as well!

Please note: to keep this thread clean, any responses that aren't a first-person experience with new GTS metals will be moved to a more appropriate discussion topic.

RE: Sunscreen/Sunblock

MSweeney — Wed, 29 Jul 2026 16:33:42 GMT

Two years ago I spent too much time on the golf course and got a bad sunburn on my temples. Went to see a Dermatologist and after weilding her scalpel she recommended a large brimmed hat plus sunscreen with zinc oxide. So in the summer months it's a Titleist Aussie Hat instead of paying the doctor 2x a year.

Sunscreen/Sunblock

NoleInSC — Mon, 06 May 2019 17:36:29 GMT

Hello fellow Team Titleist members! How many of you apply sunblock or sunscreen before you play or practice? What brand do you use? I've been making a more conscientious effort to apply protection before I hit the course. I use Skin Sunscreen Golf. It is oxybenzone-free, smells good and, best of all, doesn't stain my clothes!

WE had a blast the highlights were visiting the Beatles Museum in Liverpool and cruises on Lock Ness. Did not see Nessy but swear I saw an alien. They said there was a sighting on June 25th, 2026. A beautify lake and area. Leaving it to the imagination. Anything is possible in our lifetime.

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.

You actually want to get your Jameson's here, it has a higher content of alcohol. Did not get to taste the good stuff. Tasted the black, original and a special blend you can only get at the distillery there, nothing higher than 7-12 year old. Figure I will buy mine at Total Wines or at the Joint Base liquor store. Try Crown Royal Black, tastes very similar.
