Well, I'll be attending my first THP event here soon so I'll probably be better qualified to answer these questions in a few weeks. But, I'll give my opinions that I've developed leading up to the event.
Do you prefer the stay and play or do you prefer an alternative route such as finding cheap lodging and driving to courses?
- Goodness. I really think that the $209 a night is a heck of a deal. Golf at this resort is not cheap at all - we're getting a stay and unlimited golf for this price a night? It's not cheap either but I'd label it as nice and fair. I really like the idea of the stay and play route but I wouldn't mind either way - I have family scattered all across the hotel industry so I can always find cheap rooms. I'd throw my vote for stay and play though because I think it allows us all to mingle freely.
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?
- This doesn't matter as much to me but it certainly makes sense that it's easier for people to travel when the course is near a larger city.
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?
- I'd rather it be at a nice resort spot like Grand Cypress. Plenty of those around the country. The golf is usually awesome, the amenities are wonderful, and they're great for large groups of people.
Do you prefer the banquet dinner that THP covers or would you prefer everybody going out to eat and enjoying the local food?
- I'm super pumped about the banquet. I think it sounds like a fantastic time so I'm all for it sticking around.
