I started playing golf in middle school and the assistant pro at my muni, a mini tour player, was a Titleist staffer. This was the late 90s so everyone from Tiger to David Duval to Sergio to Phil was also playing Titleist. By high school, I was gaming a 975D 6.5*, 990 irons, original Vokey wedges, and a TeI3 Newport 2. I briefly played Cleveland TA1 irons as my first set of forged blades after college, I replaced those original Vokeys with TaylorMade rac Blacks since Vokeys were beyond my budget at the time, and I've played woods from Nike and TaylorMade, but I ultimately came back to Titleist
