Great idea!! Always love the Team Titleist pics each event, great feature! I would love to see some bag shots of Erik Compton, as well as Scott Stallings, two of my favourite Staff Players.
Thanks and enjoy the week.

About 3pm the clouds rolled in and the sky turned purple. This ominous canopy sent everyone off the practice range and into the locker rooms. The TT Lens headed for the Titleist tour van, where we chatted briefly with Titleist Brand Ambassador Martin Flores. Martin says, "Hello, Team Titleist."
The rain was on and off until around 5 when most everyone packed it up for the day.
Here's a few of the lines of dialogue floating around PGA National today:
From inside the media tent, we noticed that Titleist Brand Ambassador John Merrick is scheduled for a press conference later in the week following his recent win at Riviera.
Enough talk, check out some of the photos the TT Lens caught today:
Inside the Titleist Tour trailer, the TT Lens spotted this cool assortment of Titleist equipment.
Titleist Tour Reps Aaron Dill and Jim Curran getting their game plan together for Tuesday.
Wouldn't it be nice to have your name at the top of that sheet?
Rain, and lots of it. We spot the Dolphins logo, and we share a laugh over "Laces out, Dan."
Tomorrow, we'll be inside the ropes and inside the Titleist tour van to bring you more images through the TT Lens.

+1 I too would like a closer look inside a tour bag, both clubs and accessories.
What are players favorite on-course snack? Or drink?
How about some close-up pics of yardage books?. I would love to see how tour players keep their books.
Would love some more on the tour van also.

Great Idea! Really cool to see the day to day activities of the Titleist team "behind the ropes." Look forward to seeing more!

Great thread TT Staff ! Like everyone mentioned previously I want to see everything they mentioned about our Titleist Tour Players equipment's, Titleist Tour Van, what kind of a routine the Titleist players go through each tournament, if any. Having a live video chat with the Titleist Tour Players on this site would be awesome too. Or, chatting with them while they are on the range practicing, and seeing what they are working on and maybe pick up some tips. Keep up the great work :)

This is an unreal idea, would love some in depth look at shaft options and sure fit settings some of the guys use. Along with wedge grinds and personalization done. Look forward to posts throughout the week. Have fun guys.

This is a great idea and would like to see what the guys are using and the different shaft options they have put in their bags. Also would like to see some discussion regarding their equipment and what they do to have it fitted to their specific needs. I know that the Titleist trailer is on scene for the early beginnings of each tournament and that is another area which could be covered.

Joe and Mike,
This is a great concept. Thanks for the photos. I would like to see a "day in the life" of a tour pro if possible. Maybe have Joe follow a Titleist staffer from the parking lot in the morning to the parking lot at the end of the day. It would be great to see what a typical day looks like for a tour player.

Great idea Scott! Some video would be cool to!
Skylar TCoral Springs, FL
It would be cool to see a video inside the tour van of you guys building a club for one of the tour players and the process of it.
Justinu3Clive, IA
Great idea Mike and Joe! Love this!
Love the yardage book. Would love to hear and see the routine of a Staffer as they go through practice round, range, gym etc. Just what their routine is. Glimpse at what it's like to be a Tour member of Team Titleist.
Look forward to seeing more

just as a side note, the yardage book for honda is done by mark long - an old caddie. he goes out there with a sophisticated gps device strapped on his back and makes these digitized books. the only other one i've see done like this is for the at&t national at congressional. however, i think more tour stops are going to this style of book and moving away from the hand drawn ones done by "gorjus" george lucas.
A few of you asked to see a yardage book out here at the Honda Classic. This morning Titleist Brand Ambassadors Jason Dufner and Matteo Manassero finished up a range session and headed out on the course for a practice round. Team Titleist Lens went along for the ride.
On the second hole, Matteo's caddy Dave was nice enough to let our lens have a few snaps of their yardage book.
The book is more descriptive than most books I'm used to seeing. Add in Dave's notes and you really have a lot of data to factor into performance. Have a look at the gallery below.
You mean they don't walk off the yardage from the sprinkler heads? :)

And who says caddying is easy...??? I like the putting green details.
Christian JGriswold, IA
Very cool post Joe and Mike! Finally we are able to live our dreams through the internet, and see what it's like behind the scenes! I love seeing the pictures and, am very jealous of your guys profession!

This is an awesome idea! Love getting a different view of tour events. Keep them coming!

Wow guys this is so neat!! To me its all awesome! I like the pics and it would be cool to maybe see some video's from behind the scenes with all the TT players and reps. Really cool guys!

Really cool, thank you for taking the time to do this!
Hello Everyone,
First off, thank you for the creative ideas and great feedback. As we continue to travel with the tour, the Team Titleist Lens will keep your ideas in mind. Next week, we head to Doral, and TT Lens is primed for a number of great opportunities to bring the Team Titleist community closer and closer to the action on tour.
After a few days of Florida sunshine, TT Lens is back in Fairhaven.
Here are a few more photos from our travel to close out this thread.
Following his win at Riviera, Titleist Brand Ambassador John Merrick had a busy week at the Honda Classic with the media. Pictured here, John hosted a video chat with fans on PGATour.com.
Wednesday morning's pro-am brought an early tee time for Pro V1x loyalist Rickie Fowler, who parked his Nissan GTR right behind the Titleist Tour trailer at PGA National. Notice the orange brake discs!
Finally, Titleist Brand Ambassador Graham DeLaet sent a few of his Pro V1x golf balls high and soft, while practicing before his pro-am round Wednesday. Graham is focused player who's always looking to maximize his practice time, squeezing out every drop of improvement he can.
This thread started as an experiment, and on the strength of our Team Titleist community, proved to be a great deal of fun. TT Lens looks forward to future threads and sharing more ideas and more collaborative Team Titleist stories.
In the meantime, stay tuned for the next installment of the "On the Range" blog post on the Tour Blog...
