THP Experiences
A few months ago we kicked off this amazing monthly drawing and this continues for the final THP & UST Shaft Spectacular of 2016. Each month two lucky THPers get the tour treatment as 2016 continues to #ChangeTheGame. For those looking at what this is all about, check out the Live Update Thread from the February edition and see the surprises. Or here for the March thread and see the surprises.

How To Get Involved
Getting to be a part of this special program will be by sign up each month in the respective threads. Your 2016 Albatross Club membership is your key to unlock this and many other programs on THP. If you are not a member, and want information on how to join and help support the Humane Society shelters and animals in need, click here.

It Said Equipment What Does That Mean
It changes every month and the program will be different every month. One month it might be all about the driver, the next month it could be irons and so on. It will be a surprise when you walk through the door and are greeted by THP & UST and you never know what will be included. The only thing we can say on this is, prepare to be surprised and no two months will ever be the same in their entirety. We have seen new Callaway drivers given away, new Miura wedges, new TaylorMade clubs, Cobra clubs and so much more.

Signing Up
All you have to do is signup in this thread and let us know that you want to be a part of this amazing couple of days and why. Please also include this information.

I want to be a part because following each event has been a lot of fun. Each participant has walked away with a great amount of knowledge gained and not to mention amazingly fit new clubs. Plus Dallas is the home of Americas Team, thats right I said it.

My shafts are: Fujukura 565 in driver. Aldila Rogue 70 I/O in 3 wood. Kuro Kage in heavenwood. Steelfiber iron shafts with KBS Tour wedge shafts.
 
I want to be part of the UST Mamiya THP Shaft Spectacular BECAUSE I HAVE A PULSE! This event has been insane month in and month out.

Knowledge? Check.
Golf? Check.
Fitting by one of the best? Check.
FUN with a company who gets it? Check.
DF-FREAKING-W? Check.
Great food? Check.
THP sized memories? BIG check.

I. Want. In.

I would love to be a part of this event the knowledge available from Danny alone make this an event of a lifetime. Add to that the goodies and golf and this makes for an unimaginable couple of days. Also being able to document the event so others on the forum can follow along, the past event have made it seem like we were there with them.

Would love to be included in this event. UST makes incredible products. Would love to get fit by experts who specialize in manufacturing shafts and not just selling clubs!

Driver: Fujikura SIX
5 Wood: Matrix White Tie
3,4,5, Hybrid: Fujikura REAX 65
Irons & Wedges: Recoil 95 Protos
Putter: Standard Scotty Cameron steel shaft
 
Good luck to all entering! If there is any chance you can make it happen, you would be crazy not to enter.
 
Cannot wait to follow along once again!

Being fortunate enough to win one of the custom shafts through contests, I can't thank UST Mamiya and THP enough for welcoming THP'ers into the fold for these incredibly unique experiences, be it in person, or following from home!
 
The final act.....looking forward to the grand finale.
 
Would love to get more knowledge on shafts!
Driver ping tour reg
3wood & hybrids diamana blue stiff

The reason I would like to be apart of this event is due in part that I know it will have a longer lasting benefit for me as I grow as a golfer.

When I started playing 3 years ago I was playing regular shafts and never had been fitted for shafts for my swing. Now that I have stiffer shafts I want to take the next step, I want to maximize my game with knowing the specs for my type of swing to elevate my game to the next level.

my current shafts:

Driver: Mitsubishi Rayon Diamana D+ White 70X
3 wood: Mitsubishi Rayon Kuro Kage 70S
Hybrid: Mitsubishi Rayon Diamana D+ White 90S
Irons: True Temper Dynalite 105S
Wedges: Dynamic Gold S400
Putter: True Temper
 
Man, I was really holding out hope that the July dates would work for me, but I'm unfortunately headed out of town on Saturday.

Whoever gets chosen is going to have a FANTASTIC time.
 
I want to be in because these were the only THP events I could afford to attend. I can't do any of the others... These are it. So, my last chance for the entire year. Plus, I sincerely need help getting the right shaft to fit me in my irons because of weighting issues with a +1", and to tweak what's going on at 47" with my driver would help me a ton. I've called and talked to UST twice this year, but to have them help me in-person would be the total answer. Here goes...

Driver: Xphlexxx Agera 70 X
Fairway: Diamana D+ 82 X
Hybrids: Tour AD-DI 85 X
Irons: TT XP 95 S hard stepped
Wedges: TT DG S400
Putter: Stock SeeMore 38" counter weighted
 
Good luck everyone! These are such a fun follow and great event. Stupid work conflict for me on all of them. Looking forward to following again.
 
My golf odyssey started 6 years ago and shafts are still a black hole of knowledge. I recently bought a used iron set because the shafts in the previous set had me flummoxed (inconsistent ball flight). The opportunity to work with Danny and Lindsay is what dreams are made of. The Lone Star state (TX) is known for hospitality and the North Star state (MN) is known for being nice. Sounds like a great pairing!

Driver: Aldila Tour Blue ATX 55, stiff
3W, 3h & 4h: Project X 6.0, stiff
5i -> GW: TT XP 95, stiff
SW: TT DG S300
Putter: stock
 
Good luck to all that enter. I can't make these dates & that kills me because I really wanted to experience UST and a weekend of great knowledge from Danny and Lindsey.
 
I would absolutely love to be part of this event. Just following what UST has done with lucky THPers in the earlier events, the shaft knowledge that Danny has shared, get fitted by the best and a chance to play a round with Danny and Lindsay - I would be crazy not to want to be part of this event!!

Driver Project X HZRDUS Black 6.5, 62g
3 Wood - Fujikura Speeder 865
Hybrid - UST Mamiya 780 Recoil
Irons - Nippon Pro Modus
Wedges - True Temper S300
 
I would love to be a part of this amazing event because I believe that UST can turn my game around. I am an absolutely terrible driver of the golf ball given my skill level and I would love to see if Danny and Lindsay are up to the challenge to improve on my <25% FIR rate. Also, following along each month and seeing the transformations in everyone's game has truly been amazing to see. Who wouldn't want to be a part of that?
