Hear From the Experts: Courtney Engle

Courtney Engle joined the Titleist Golf Ball Research and Development team in June of 2020. She began as a Mechanical Engineer, working on golf ball aerodynamics and aerodynamic intellectual property. She was promoted just over a year later and serves now as Manager - Mechanical Engineering, where she manages the R&D aerodynamic team. To date, she is the named Inventor on over 70 golf ball patents/applications.

Courtney earned a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Yale University. She is currently working towards her Master of Mechanical Engineering degree at the Johns Hopkins University, with a concentration in fluid dynamics.  Her expected graduation date is December, 2026.

Courtney has always had an undying passion and appreciation for mathematics and its applications. Her academic research projects have included fluid and heat transfer analyses of components used in the LHC at CERN, studies on the use of microstructures to promote oleophobicity (thereby reducing energy losses due to drag in oil pipelines), and studying the momentum and propagation velocity of turbidity currents.

Courtney was born and raised in Littleton, CO, a suburb of Denver. She started playing golf at six years old and helped lead her high school team to two state championships. Courtney was also a nationally ranked U19 field hockey goalkeeper and a theater/choir kid. She grew up in a very handy family and can’t remember a time when she wasn’t building, fixing and tinkering with things.
