Hey, Team Titleist.
We caught wind of a great story that we'd like to share from our great partner, Chris Brown, PGA, who is the GM and Director of Golf at Tobacco Road Golf Club in Sanford, NC.
(A quick aside -- Tobacco Road is an amazing course designed by visionary architect Mike Strantz. Make it a point to try to play there the next time you visit the Carolinas. You won't be sorry. Chris and his staff will make you feel like a member for the day and the golf experience is truly one of a kind.)
Back to the story, in Chris' words:
I had a group come in late this afternoon looking to get in a late round. One of the gentleman, Mr. Allan Hernandez of Pittsburgh, PA asked if we had the new “Yellow” Pro V. I got a couple of the balls to show him and after a little discussion, I gave him a ball of mine and told him to enjoy. He said he just got back into playing golf after a long absence and said he only played yellow balls.
So, third hole, par 3, yelp, knocks it in for an ace. He’s excited as this is his first ever ace!
Just thought I would pass it on, figuring this also might be the first ace with the new Yellow Pro V1!
After completing his round and reporting back to Chris, Allan joined an exclusive fraternity at Tobacco Road - The Road of Fame. It's a tradition at the club for players who record holes-in-one to commemorate the feat by taking a photo with the white tail deer skull that serves as the club's mascot and logo inspiration. The Tobacco Road staff shared the moment on Instagram:
Thanks for sharing this story, Chris. And congratulations, Allan! We hope there are many more great shots in your future with the new high optic yellow Pro V1, which will be arriving in golf shops on March 15th.
