When THP created the Ultimate Golf Weekend, it was an amazing weekend that showed us that we think annual events are very important to what this site means. Our original outing was held at two golf courses in which we had some great golf as well as a demo day and people stayed around the area in various hotels.
From there, we decided a Stay & Play format was better for our outing needs and it has been a blast. Having everybody in one spot made things such as meeting up for drinks, breakfast and everything in between very easy. We have continued that for the last 3 outings all done on tour level courses that provide a wonderful opportunity to keep everybody together throughout the entire weekend.
Last year THP introduced a 2nd event called the Morgan Cup. This is the Ultimate Amateur Golf Event.
Because of costs associated with both events, for many, it came down to one or the other. Or people passing on the outing in hopes of qualifying for the Morgan Cup. As we plan our 2013 (which we are already doing), we always want to get input from everybody involved. There will be some changes to both events for the coming year (we think for the better) and we have some big ideas going around.
Do you prefer the stay and play or do you prefer an alternative route such as finding cheap lodging and driving to courses?
Do you prefer it remain in a major city to keep airline costs down or are you okay with smaller airports and possibly driving in from those airports?
Do you want Tour Level courses or do you prefer smaller and more rural areas that you might not ever find without a THP event there?
Do you prefer the banquet dinner that THP covers or would you prefer everybody going out to eat and enjoying the local food?
If you have not been to a THP Outing, feel free to chime in as well. There is truly nothing quite like a THP event and there is a reason they fill up so fast. They are absolutely the most unique golf weekends you will ever come across. Thanks in advance for all of your thoughts.
