    Should Sweep Stakes Competitions be available to everyone or just the U.S. I would be interested in what your views are.

    Hi Richard,

    Thanks for the post! We hear this question/comment a lot around having contests/sweepstakes that are open to all of our Team Titleist members including individuals who live outside of the U.S.

    Here's a little background on why our sweeps/contests ob Titleist.com are only for current residents of the U.S.:

    Unfortunately, every country has specific laws, rules and regulations that govern contests such as the sweepstakes we typically offer, ranging from laws that require governmental registration to laws that forbid these types of contests altogether. Because of the wide range of rules and regulations, it is not possible to create a contest that is universally available to all of our valued Team Titleist members.

    However, from time to time, our websites in certain countries sponsor contests for residents of those countries. If we host a website in your country of residence, we suggest visiting it for further details.

    I hope this helps clarify.

    Thanks!

    - Mike

    That is a clear explanation. Thanks for shedding some light as I always wondered how other Team Titleist members across the world get their own flavor of a TT treat

    I hear what your saying, but what annoys me the most is that sometimes we are not aware that a sweep stake is only available to the U.S until we have entered it. I have received emails asking to enter some competitions only to find out after entering that again it’s the U.S only, especially as my profile shows I’m in the U.K. When I see a competition that’s only available to the U.S it feels like we are having our noses rubbed in it a bit. It’s a shame we all can’t be included as we spend thousands of pounds on Titleist equipment. Perhaps the rules should be changed to accommodate all.

    Hi Richard,

    Sorry some things don't always work out the way we think they may. I guess the old adage says, MAKE SURE YOU READ THE DETAILS before you make a hasty/quick decision.

    From just about every contest Titleist has ever run, I vaguely recall it stating pretty clearly that it is a limited sweepstakes or competition based on a specific region.

    Hope you are able to find a few local ones to enter. I have seen quiet a few offered for the UK/Ireland only and believe me, we get jealous over here as well of some of these.

    Plus, you guys over in the UK seem to get some pretty sweet apparel selections FJ offers that we can't even touch, not to change topics...Just saying.

    Anyway, best of luck to you in winning a UK based contest in the near future.
