    I received an email from Team Titleist on 21 October 2021 offering me an opportunity to participate in a Research Study relative to golf injuries. Did anyone else receive this email? Is it a legitimate Team Titleist study or was this a fake email?

    This study is absolutely legit and participation is much appreciated.

    @Allan...I need more help with "mental" injuries associated with missing too many 3 footers for par. ;-)

    Thanks Allan! I registered, answered the questions, and submitted the first weekly health survey. Coincidentally, it was perfect timing. Last Tuesday I strained the outside of my left elbow (lateral epicondylitis) possibly due to an extended reach with my driver. Still cannot take my normal stance but I have temporarily eliminated the pain by standing closer with my driver thereby preventing a full extension. Huge loss of club head speed and distance but I can still play!

    Thanks again

    I received the same email and really enjoy how active Titleist is within it's own golf community. I plan on signing up today and hopefully many others do as well. The more data the better!

    I received the same e-mail yesterday. The only question I have is I live in WI and the golf season is almost over for me, can I still be of help?

    I noted the 2 prior posts are from California. I live in the midwest and golf season is winding down. So why would I participate in a survey over the next 20 weeks (November thru March)?

    If you elect to resend this study next Spring I will be very interested. BTW I am 67 and I occasionally feel my age.

    Adding my experience. May be useful data where my physician describes my knees as having a degree of decrepitation.
    Being declared as being decrepit is not a patient friendly term.
  10. I received it as well and am going to sign up for it today.

    I got the invite as well. I signed up today. Will be interesting to see all the results afterwards.

    Interesting study. My back and hips are somewhat a result of old age, having degenerative disc disease and arthritis. I guess that playing golf does not make it better. Ibuprofen and Tylenol help as I truck on, riding a cart and just havin' fun.
