BACKGROUND (Brief Summary)
Titleist is widely recognized as the leading brand in the golf industry, best known for producing the #1 golf ball on the market. At Bayou Golf Course, Titleist products have consistently demonstrated strong sales performance and remain in high demand among our clientele. Our purchases from Titleist include a variety of high-quality golf merchandise such as balls, gloves, hats, bags, umbrellas, and clubs.
The brand’s reputation for excellence and consistency aligns closely with the expectations of our customers. Additionally, resale items from Titleist fall under an exemption specified in the relevant purchasing statute, which removes the requirement to obtain three competitive quotes for these purchases.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that Bayou Golf Course be granted authorization to exceed the $50,000 annual expenditure limit with Titleist, with a proposed cap of $85,000. This increase will allow us to maintain adequate inventory levels, meet continued customer demand, and ensure the availability of Titleist’s premium merchandise throughout the year.
