    There is, but it's not just given out for buying clubs. There are tens of thousands (if not hundreds of thousands) of people who buy every new driver that comes out and replace their clubs with every cycle. Titleist does a good job of rewarding those who actively participate in TT events and online in the virtual community.

    If you are looking for discounts, I would suggest building a relationship with your local golf shop, as they are the ones to ultimately decide your purchase price. I know there are often discounts offered to frequent customers at many of the stores in my area.

    Titleist does a very good job with the engagement of the TT community and reward people who do more than just spend money, which is more important IMO.

    This right here for sure!

    Generally if you do buy from big stores like Golf Galaxy or PGA superstore then you earn reward points that translate into cash. I'm not promoting either of these but they do have their own programs

    Nope, we gotta keep buying it so they can hand the clubs over to social media stars

    Having been a long time member of TT and a major contributor to the forum I have seen a number of incentives. First I was not seeking incentives, swag, freebees when I joined TT, those are things I get thru my Credit Cards, by going to events and places where I shop.

    The opportunities: to purchase special releases of TT merchandise, to attend select events nationwide as well as the annual TT invitational and premiere golf courses, the opportunity to connect the fellow loyalists from all over the world on the forum and at the events, the opportunities to test golf balls, the instruction videos, and for some the opportunity to test products. I think even though there are no monetary rewards or discounts, our incentives more that outweigh those so call discounts. I do not want to belong to a discount golf company. Just sayin' with respect.

    Your loyalty is exceptional, make no mistake about it.
    There are many on this site that have upgraded equipment with every release. That’s about the same amount of equipment. They get the same deal.

    You have a couple of avenues to try. If your son is exceptional, you and/or his coach can contact Titleist for some level of sponsorship. The other choice is to deal with a pro shop to get fitted and purchase exclusively through that shop. They have the option to offer pricing incentives. Retailers are required to sell at the manufacturer’s suggested retail price. Most courses that offer a membership usually have a discount that may vary for balls, equipment, and apparel.

    Titleist is strongly supportive of their dealer network. When you buy direct through the internet site, everything is full MSRP. TT is supported to make game education and programs available to followers. Not just to merchandise equipment.

    The reward is being able to play the best clubs in the game. If you want swag, go to an event, there's plenty of great stuff, and great relationships to forge.


    I've bought 10 BMWs in the past 20 years, overall cost is significantly higher than golf clubs, I've never received anything from them except for sheer driving enjoyment. That's the way it is.

    Golf isn't cheap, and even though equipment is slammed together on an assembly line, we have advertising/ marketing costs to cover. Sad part is those new irons are maybe worth 400-500 re-sale as soon as you hit them, but that'll offset the pain a little. My truck lost 20-30k in value in 6 months, almost the same with the BMW. The cost of doing business. My girl has horses, so as long as my habit costs less than hers, I'm good!

    I am with you Edward, My wife loves sparkly jewelry, diamonds, and art, the original kind. Heck my golf habit is a drop in the bucket. We have a separate insurance policy for her habits. We have been married close to 48 years, married this one to keep her.

    My incentive is that it is the best equipment for my game. I would be updating every cycle no matter what, so I might as well do it with the best company.

    If you build a relationship with your local PGA Professional who is also a Titleist retailer, they should ( I know that we do!) give you a break on pricing.

    Its not the price of the club or discount, its the scorecard, As a military person, I can get discounts at Lowe's, Home Depot, Other mom and pops, and Other golf manufacturers. One particular uses that as his sales pitch so that you buy his clubs. Titleist clubs have a sweet sound when you hit it right, the golf balls tend to go and not produce a "knuckleball" when hit correctly.

    So, my local pro shop will give me at least 10% when I shop with him. Members who join clubs get pro shop discounts, so it all evens out.

    Rather have a birdie or two than wonder why this club hit it so far left when I thought I had a good swing on it. When using Titleist balls and equipment I take that factor out... Its all on me.

    Long time Titleist guy, older than Chuck. Purchase exclusively through my local pro. He appreciates my business. I'm remembered by local sales rep from time to time with special swag. I've stuck with 'em since the 80's because of performance, customer service, quality. Guess that is all I expect for my money.d

    Influencers (pros, social media personnel) have little influence on my purchases, so it does make you wonder how much product cost would be reduced if for us if promo budgets were reallocated to loyal folks. I'll keep wondering because it will never happen.

    Good points. Guess us old guys (79) have learned the tricks of the trade. Get to know people and be loyal to them. They appreciate us. I am a late bloomer in this crazy game. Did not start until 1985 but found that loyalty to pros/retail accounts pays off in your favor. Have always learned you get out of life what you put into it. TT is about friendships. All members need to attend an event and they will see the loyalty.

    Yes, Golf is an expensive game. If I remember correctly, my first set of "matching" golf clubs were about $300.00 in the early 70s. With military pay being about $350.00 at the time. it took me months to save to buy those clubs. Fast forward to today, the people I have met, the courses and places I have seen, and the friendships that I have made........ well its priceless.

    Got to love golf or pursue something else... I haven't found anything to match this game yet, period.

    On a side note, I happen to know a consistent Korn Ferry player, full Titleist bag for 3-4 years. You'd be surprised what he gets a month, it's nowhere what you'd even guess, it's lower. And that's only the weeks he plays. Tough business even for those guys.

    I joined TT not for the incentives but rather to connect with other golfers who love the game and appreciate quality equipment and gear. Great clubs and excellent customer service are the reasons i am 40 year customer.

    Thanks all, appreciate the responses. Just ordered a new GT driver and the local rep was very kind and able to help out.
    Hope all have a fantastic season!

    In reflecting about the collective replies above, wanted to clarify that my goal with my Team Titleist participation (since 2011) was and is NOT for discounts on clubs. I understand several of you who buy clubs or BMW's every year with no reward or expectation have the "Yep, that's just the way it is" perspective. And perhaps that's true, but it shouldn't be. Companies mindful of the customer experience and who love their customers, even if it isn't a monetary extension, should absolutely be cascading and prioritizing that which builds loyalty. Even if its just a letter or note saying "Thanks for continuing to trust the brand".

    I'll also add that TT has at times been tastefully generous over the years with different ball testing, swag (have received 2-3 out of the blue TT items), and even with personalized virtual sessions, etc. I sincerely value the brand community that exists here and do feel it's unique. Thank you again to all for commenting, sharing thoughts, and to Titleist for creating and cultivating this forum.

    Titleist fan. 14/15 full Titleist-brand bag, brand ball, brand bag, etc. I've ordered items on the site - alignment sticks, covers, etc. I have received a random TT bag tag as a surprise, and a sleeve of balls for testing - over the years of membership. (Thanks Team Titleist). I recently signed up and played in my first TT event in Sacramento. It was a great experience, and I highly recommend attending one if you have the opportunity. I not sure if it was because of attending the event, or just because TT is amazing (or a bit of both), but I recently received a divor repair tool and ball marker in the mail. Update your profile, mailing address, equipment, etc - and keep par
