Last year we spoke about doing a National THP outing and holding it at a resort course that we are fond of, but let's face it, the economy is just not there yet for some people and when we do hold that, I want it to be for everybody so we can have a couple of hundred there and rock the place out.
In the mean time, GG and I were discussing having a FL golf outing for anybody that is interested. We will hold it at a local course that we are fond of (deciding between a few now) and then have dinner/drinks. If there is a decent turnout, we may even do the dinner and drinks via a BBQ at our home (this part is still under discussion).
This outing will be available for everybody that wants to join and from anywhere they want to come from. Depending on the interest, we could even make it a 2 day or weekend outing if people decide to come in from a distance. Being in SW FL there is no shortage of hotels, motels, or anything else.
Dates are still being discussed and we are open to suggestions. I am even speaking with some companies about getting some demo equipment out here for everybody to try out while visiting.
Edit - We are looking at April 17th & 18th.
The last thing I want to add is that this will be an outing for ALL SKILL LEVELS. Good, Bad, or otherwise.
One last thing!!!!!
EDIT: So far, here is what we know.
Date: April 17th & 18th
Courses: As of now we are looking at Sarasota National & Pelican Pointe Golf & Country Club. Once we have a head count we can make the proper arrangements. Both courses have greens fees of between $50 & $60. We are trying to get a group discount on top of that.
Clubs: We are working with a few companies to also do a mixed demo day or have equipment sent in for trial and for some prizes. (of course there will be prizes).
Contests: We will be giving away some prizes and again it will be based on head count what companies are going to send.
After Golf: After the round on the 17th, GG and myself are welcoming everybody back to our home for food and drinks. That includes the small frozen drink machine (Yay).
Accomodations: There are quite a few places nearby that are quite inexpensive for those that do not live local.
We would love to have everybody come and enjoy the two days of THP Golf. If you can confirm, please send me a PM, so I can put you down as "in".
Demo, Testing, & Prizes
THP is in contact with many companies for test clubs, devices, etc... as well as prizes for contests. We will update this section as we hear back from the different companies that are sending things for the THP'ers to try out while they are down here. We are not going to say what is for demo and what is for prizes, but lets just say we are going to have some fun down here!!!
As of right now, we have some fun companies on board.
