A brief history of a legendary ball the Titleist Pro V1.
I remember winning a sleeve of Pro V1 golf balls in a club competition in 2001. My golfing idol Retief Goosen had just won the 2001 US Open using the ball, to say I was excited was an understatement. Nineteen years later this is still the most used ball on tour, has racked up an incredible amount of tournament and Major wins.
There is no ball on the market that has such allure or appeal.
All the stories I have heard over the years about this ball from my clients are endless and a true testament to a golf giant.
I have dug out a few of the milestones achieved by this amazing ball.
1. Year 2000 the legend is born.
2. later in 2000 Billy Andrade wins the Invensys Classic, the first tour win
