The Clubhouse is brought to you by Titleist, the #1 ball in golf, and the most played golf ball at the John Deere Classic – with 80 per cent of the field putting one in play at TPC Deere Run last week.
Last week at the John Deere Classic, Titleist golf ball loyalist Lucas Glover put the NEW Pro V1 golf ball in play for the first time in competition with immediate success, birding five of his final seven holes to claim his fourth PGA Tour victory.
Glover worked with Fordie Pitts, Titleist’s Golf Ball R&D Consultant on the PGA Tour, who said the “2021 Pro V1 gave Lucas the added spin he was looking for into the green, while still providing that tight, consistent flight he likes to see, especially in the wind”.
In fact, Glover finished 3rd in Strokes Gained: Approach and 4th in Strokes Gained: Tee to Green for the week, so head to Titleist.co.uk to find out how you can also benefit from the consistent performance of the #1 ball in golf.
Elliott Heath is our News Editor and has been with Golf Monthly since early 2016 after graduating with a degree in Sports Journalism. He manages the Golf Monthly news team as well as our large Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages. He covered the 2022 Masters from Augusta National as well as five Open Championships on-site including the 150th at St Andrews. His first Open was in 2017 at Royal Birkdale, when he walked inside the ropes with Jordan Spieth during the Texan's memorable Claret Jug triumph. He has played 35 of our Top 100 golf courses, with his favourites being both Sunningdales, Woodhall Spa, Western Gailes, Old Head and Turnberry. He has been obsessed with the sport since the age of 8 and currently plays off of a six handicap. His golfing highlights are making albatross on the 9th hole on the Hotchkin Course at Woodhall Spa, shooting an under-par round, playing in the Aramco Team Series on the Ladies European Tour and making his one and only hole-in-one at the age of 15 - a long time ago now!
