Hey Team Titleist,

I have been interested in Titleist equiptment for several years now and managed to gather myself some irons from my coach, i play off a handicap of 3 but im consistently shooting low scores in the 70's and high 60's. I played my first competitive year of golf this past season where i played in several county tournaments and managed to win a few and also produce some top 5 finishes, these were in: The bbo county open at winter hill golf club where i shot rounds of 74(2 over) and 70(2 under), i won it by 2 shots. i also won the Junior open in oxford which was played at Burford golf club where i shot rounds of 74(3 over) and 69(2 under) i also won this by a shot. I have had top 5 finished in the LUKE DONALD SALVER at beaconsfield golf club, and also at the National England schools Final at the Kendleshire golf club. I live in England and im 16 years of age, i was invited to play in the Dixie Amateur golf tournament in Florida in December and was hoping for some sort of titleist gear to go out with,( maybe balls gloves etc.) I know you are busy but if you could get back to me that would be great.

Many thanks Ryan

Cathie,

i am a freshman in high school but I am the second best golfer in my school I had a 9 average of 40ish. My handicap is just over 3.

i haven't played in any national tournaments to get ranked but I played in city tournaments over the summer and did well in them . I just went to get fitted for a driver over the weekend and they said it would cost me 500 dollars for one to fit me because I have such a high swing speed. Could you guys help me out with this? Do I need to be nationally ranked? And do my scores look good enough or how much lower would I need to be to get sponsored. I play all the time and improve I am hoping to get to scratch this summer. What does titleist give us we are sponsored. Just wanna know if am even close to being sponsored because I don't have enough money to get all knew clubs but I really think they would help me.

Hi Cathi,

I was wondering how I would qualify for this. I'm 14 and I consistenly shoot around 70-73 ( on a par 72 course ) My family can't afford national tournaments due to the expense of clubs, balls, gloves, and etc. So I was wondering how I could possibly qualify for this. Thank you!

what is icluded in a junior sponsorship

It can vary from balls, shoes, accessories to full equipment depending on your ranking, age, level, playing schedule, etc. 

With the equipment rule being deleted from the rules of golf, juniors, amateurs and seniors can now receive equipment directly from golf manufacturers. Much like many of the professional sports teams where they have a salary cap, we as a golf manufacturer have a spending cap which limits us in the number of players who we can touch with free product. To maintain open-ended fairness in the targeting of players for free product we currently review their position on the GolfWeek Junior Rankings, Polo Rankings as well as the National Junior Golf Scoreboard Rankings and make our decisions based on this data.

If you feel that you fall into this category we would encourage you to forward us a playing resume summarizing your competitive golf career to date for our review. To those players who are not highly placed on one of the above rankings we will monitor their progress with hopes of working with them at some point in the future. Please mail your resume to:

Acushnet Company

Attn: Tour Department

333 Bridge St.

Hi again Cathi,

Thank you very much for the information. However, I had one more question. Hypothetically speaking, say I were to qualify for this junior sponsorship. How would I ( or any other juniors out there ) receive the equipment. Thank you very much for your time.

Sincerely, Tanner Ostrander 

Cathi,

just wondering what the go with trying for junior sponsorship. I don't play in any national Rankings or anything like that because I don't know much about it. I've been in junior Victorian state championships and that kind of stuff. 

Hi Jarman, If you are in Australia, contact Acushnet Australia with your playing resume and they will be able to let you know how to proceed.  If you are in the US, you will still have to put together a resume or play in the national junior golf tournaments.

Thank you Cathi,

A mate of mine who plays at the same club as I do, got sponsored by Titleist when he was playing off a handicap of 8.

how many juniors are you allowed to sponsor in Australia

Cathi,

I'm on the Acushnet Australia website. Where abouts do I click for junior sponsorship? I have a mate who got sponsored by Titleist at a handicap of 8 at one of the top 30 public courses in Australia.

it would really help me out with my game, even if I got a few clubs etc
