    Hey, Team Titleist!

    This year, four Titleist players on the PGA Tour are celebrating a common honor and a remarkable career milestone - they're playing in their first Masters Tournament. For professional golfers, receiving that first Masters Invitation is pure validation. Nothing says, "you've arrived" in quite the same way.

    For Titleist brand ambassadors Max Homa, Lanto Griffin, Tyler Duncan and J.T. Poston, the memory of opening that embossed envelope from Augusta National Golf Club is still very vivid, and they were all very happy to share the experience with us in the video above.

    Enjoy the excitement you see in their eyes and hear in their voices as Max, Lanto, Tyler and J.T. talk about playing in their first Masters. We hope you'll join us in cheering them on next week and please share your thoughts on what it would mean to you to compete for the green jacket.

    If you found a Masters Invitation in your mailbox, would you save it? Where and how?  And what would you look forward to the most as you prepared to play Augusta National for the first time?

    Thanks!

    If I found an invitation to Augusta National I'd obviously be in the wrong house!

    I would frame it and hang in a prominent place. I would look towards the atmosphere and feel like I am on hollowed ground. I wish..

    Save it, frame it, and gold plate it!!!!!! Mail box and all. I would look forward to being inside the Titleist Tour Van.

    What an honor. I think the first drive down magnolia lane and stepping into the clubhouse. The nerves of my name being called on the first tee as I put my Pro V1 on the tee with “take dead aim” printed on it. The walk over Hogan bridge as I headed into Amen corner.

    There is so much. I would never want that round to end. I imagine playing the course, like when I had the chance to attend as a patron, would bring the feelings and emotions of so many prior players that I would be playing in the shadows of.

    I can’t wait for next week! Good luck to the players playing their first and those legends like Nicklaus and Crenshaw.

    Frame it in a really nice Mahogany frame

    Where and how?
    place in center of man cave/office

    And what would you look forward to the most as you prepared to play Augusta National for the first time?
    Putting on those perfect greens; making par on 1 and 5, trying to hit it on the right level on 6, bending it into the slot on 10, trying to hit it between the bunkers on 12, going for it on 13, hitting it close on 16, walking up 18 and enjoying the fact you know you can do it all because your playing a Titleist!

    Looking forward to the most? Besides the drive up Magnolia Lane, playing another 18!

    Definitely framing it, and putting it in a very prominent place so anyone who walks in sees it.

    If ever get hit by lightning and my golf game would improve 1000 folds to be invited to the Masters, I would save and frame the letter along with a picture of the first tee shot of the tournament, it would be proudly displayed, and a conversation piece for eternity.
    On the other hand, I have dreamed countless times of playing Augusta, but I cannot frame those dreams, so they can be treasured forever.

    I'd call Augusta National and let them know that I have some players invite and some player has my tickets. LOL!

    If I received an invitation to the Masters in my mailbox I wouldn’t be able to sleep for a month.

    If I found a free invitation to Augusta National in my mail box, I believe I would frame it on the wall of fame in my house.

    Watching the Masters right now at home, wishing I was there at Augusta National driving down Magnolia Lane. "CHEERS" to the Number 1 tournament in the World. The Masters!!

    If I was ever to be given an opportunity to play Augusta National, I would tattoo the masters logo on my forearm so that I could relive the experience with every swing I take for the rest of my life.
