Not long after joining THP, I started reading all about SeeMore putters, and learning why so many people here have a near obsession with hiding the red dot. I drank the KoolAid, and started looking into these amazing putters, and found the style that most fit my eye to be the FGP mallet style (FGP Mallet, PTM3, FGP2). I was to the point of asking for one for Christmas, but didn't want to buy it without testing it out first. I made the hour-long trip up to the nearest retailer listed on the SeeMore website, only to find out that they don't actually carry SeeMore putters. I was a little irritated, and posted a rant about it in the rant thread, only to get a PM from T2GRN18 saying he has an FGP mallet just sitting around that he doesn't use, and asked for my address and he'd ship it to me to try out.
I gave him my address and kept asking how much he wanted for it, but he just kept telling me to try it out and we'd work out a price later. Now I'm thinking he wants to get me hooked like a SeeMore junkie and then he's going to ask for $$$ after he knows I can't say no, but that isn't what happened. I finally got out tonight and tried it out (and fell in love with it), and told him about how much I liked it, and he responds saying it's mine and he doesn't want any money for it. As much as I protested, at least asking to pay the shipping, he just said he was happy to do it, and to use the money to do something nice for my family.
This really shouldn't surprise me, since I hear about these kinds of things on THP a lot, and THPers are truly the most generous and caring people on earth, but it was still one of the nicest things anyone has ever done for me, and I wanted everyone to know just what kind of a guy Kevin is. Once again a THPer doing something that you don't see anywhere else, and validating that THP is the best community there is! Thank you so much, Kevin!
