The European Tour and Titleist this week hosted two lucky winners of a MyEuropeanTour competition for a once-in-a-lifetime golfing trip to Abu Dhabi.
Father and son pairing Alistair and Neil McKinnon from Scotland were treated to an incredible experience ahead of the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, learning about Titleist and their world famous golf balls during the launch of the 2017 Pro V1 ball.
Watch the story of their experience below...
Alistair and Neil each had a custom Titleist ball fitting session and took part in an exclusive clinic on the range at Abu Dhabi Golf Club with brand ambassadors and European Tour pros Stephen Gallacher and Gregory Bourdy.
In addition to two rounds on the nearby Gary Player-designed Saadiyat Beach Golf Club, the pair appeared in the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship pro-am on Wednesday alongside another Titleist ambassador and former winner of the event, Frenchman Gary Stal.
Michael Creighton, Titleist Golf Ball Manager, said: "Stephen and Gregory agreed to come down to the range and talk to the Titleist and MyEuropeanTour winners so we discussed the process the players go through week-in, week-out on Tour and let them experience the same process."
Alistair McKinnon commented: "This has been terrific, an unbelievable experience. I suppose you might say it's one of those money-can't-buy experiences!"
Neil added: "We've been out trying the prototype this week and what a difference with the new ball! We're obviously just club golfers and even we can see the difference in ball flight and control - it's been great.
"Walking up the 18th and seeing Gary's name on the grandstand was incredible. It's been a great experience."
Appropriately, in the week of the big launch, it was revealed that more than 75 per cent of the Abu Dhabi field were playing Titleist balls.
