It’s gonna take some time and convincing of the Mrs. but I am going to have to do a Titleist driver and woods fitting, and Vokey wedges too. And lessons. And dropping oh, 80 pounds or so…
LIVE UPDATE THREAD The 2021 Titleist Experience
Home. Tired. Happy. This experience boosted my golf passion into hyperdrive mode. OK golf game that I desire — I’m gonna git ya. 
this pic is taken from behind 16 green. Still hard to see all of the ridges and distinct green sections but hopefully a little easier to discern them. One of the craziest greens I have ever played.
Here’s another look at it...
This better shows the four distinct sections of the green. From A to D is a rise of 4-5 feet. From C-D a little less. If you were in Section B putting to hole location D, just forget it. Take your three putt and move on. The ridge that segments A and C is pronounced, narrow, and probably a couple of feet high. To get it close to the hole from B you’d have to putt frighteningly close to that “red ridge” and the slightest mistake pushes you into Section C. Just a little too far right of it from the player’s perspective, then the red ridge and the one segmenting A and D will push the ball VERY hard to the right. Really almost impossible to get it onto D from B anywhere close.

Hey I've been around all this time, just the ACL prevented me actual golfing for a year. Your right though...this fueled the desire to get better!
I just made it home. What an amazing time these last couple of days. I already have a tee time tomorrow to enjoy some T200 goodness on my home course. Plus I need to work on the grip tips I got during last night's dinner from @gbtrsc. @MH and @mmaynard11. Thanks guys for the advice, I am going to work on it hard. Also want to say thanks to @GoldenBuff, @J4U, @JB, Luke and Josh for everything you are all incredible people. Couldn't resist sharing a picture of the new sticks in my gamer bag.

I and my luggage and clubs are all on the plane to head home!
I’m not sure what to make of those clubs. The back looks way too sexy to be GI but the sole says “I forgive you”. It’s hard to wrap my head around but they must be pretty sweet. That was some good golf out there.

Flight attendant reading the preflight spiel sounded like she was 12 years old. Everyone in first class was looking around with this wide-eyed “Really?” expression!

2k posts in here!!! Thank you everyone for following along with us!!! Meant a lot and I can ensure you every post was read! It was tough keeping pace with all of you while on the course with spotty coverage & every time I refreshed the page I was 5 behind. Not to mention we played 4 hr rounds…we were moving!
It was a fun follow to enjoy the beautiful scenery, see you guys enjoying your new clubs, and keep up with the competition. You guys were playing some great golf out there!
It occurs to me that we forgot to ask the Titleist duo a very timely question: what Titleist’s stance is on the local rule limiting drivers to 46” in competition. To my fellow attendees, do I remember correctly, or was it asked, answered, and I’m severely brain cramping?
