I saw his original post in the thread. My initial thought was "WHOA WTF!?" With how large this place is, it's bound to happen. Jealousy is an ugly trait. Sounds like he was just jealous it wasn't him.

Just saw is modified post. Boy, his attitude did a 180:bulgy-eyes:
 
I don't even get how that could even be said. I look at the contests and everything like a lottery, you don't expect to win it.

You can always hope, but you should never expect.

Heck, I won the Bettinardi contest a week ago on twitter, and don't ever expect to see anything out of it, thats just the breaks. If stuff shows up, awesome. If not, it was a free contest and I am out nothing.
 
Glad to see someone apologize. Its what makes people stronger. Good on him and I got a nice PM as well.
 
Just thinking about work lately gets me so aggitated. Im so burnt out. I can not wait until the 12th, when I fly out for the Taylormade Demo day and a mini vacation.
 
Whoa... the last one was my 1000th post.... Awesome... took me long enough.
 
Funny though, for all of the golf content on THP, probably 75% of my posts are not in golf related sections.
 
I have so little work at work, it's literally like I get paid to be on THP all day long. I love me some THP, but it's so mentally draining to sit and have nothing to do day in and day out.

Im actually a bit shocked that I received a PM about the final grandaddy spot contest. Someone believes that the entry was not valid because the rules were not followed. FWIW, myself and the other judges (and we got votes from 12 others) believed the entry fell on the line, but on teh right side of the line to be counted. While waving a white flag might be viewed as an "after a loss" thing, we viewed it as a TKO and type of defeat. And frankly that is for us to decide.

But to go as far as saying he was selected because he is a popular member is flat out out of line. We have thousands of popular members and frankly if one looked over the Team THP lineup headed to the grandaddy, one would never in a million years think that "favorites" were played. Completely ridiculous.

As it turns out, it never fails, you just cannot please everybody and no matter how something is decided, there will always be a select few that think its rigged. Heck, we did voting via live webcam with 2 professional golfers voting and even that was deemed fixed somehow. Who knows. I will never understand it, but I will support the decision and leave it at that.

Amazing, sounds like someone's feeling a bit entitled? Believe me, I know how disappointing it is not to make it in to things like this, but be happy for the guy who made it.

Just Not True. I was selected for the Morgan Cup and it's a fact that JB hates me. :D If I can get selected.........anyone can! Keep trying said PM'er and don't let it get you down. Your golden ticket will be punched one day if you believe. And if not, you'll have fun on the site by trying. All we can ask for.
 
This made me laugh out loud.

I really hate that you have to explain yourself. I saw the original post and almost commented but I figured you guys would take care of it.

Its ridiculous that people still believe that everything is rigged, and its only the ones that think they are entitled to free things. I think if you stay active on here and dont just go through the motions and only enter contests that good things will come to you. It's karma, you support THP and THP supports you.
 
Wow, kind of a buzz kill!
 
The Official Rant of the Day

Just leaving the doctor with my daughter. She had to get her 1 year vaccines. I hate watching her cry. Also, she still has fluid in her ears and cannot hear out of her right ear. We have to bring her to an ENT specialist now. I hope its nothing serious and just fluid. Before we had her I could never imagine being a parent. Watching her be in pain and the thought that I immediately would switch places with her is not something I ever thought would have happened. In my mind I am a distant 2nd to her and my wife.

Stay strong man. I know its hard, I did the same with my oldest. Hating see her get shots and cry. I do hope all is well your little girl and nothing special is needed.
 
Though I'm not a fan of doing yard work, I certainly appreciate a good looking yard. Maybe nothing more so than a perfectly edged driveway and curb.

Problem is, after I finish, mine doesn't remotely resemble that. More like a 2 year old that used safety scissors.

That's why you let the wife do the doctors appointments.

I kid. Sorta.

Damn Ricky! I'm sorry for your little princesses ear troubles. When our kids were young the were troubled by these.... We ended up using Garlic Mullin to help fight back the ear infections. It worked excellent, and it helps prevent the anitbiotic resistance. although a little late with our daughter, cause all the anti biotics ended up effecting the our daughters enamel on her teeth.

Ice cream? If she looked at me with that face I'd buy her a car. Poor kid, hope she feels better soon Dev.

My rant, dealing with health insurance companies...
