I went with the 3 deep and the 5 which I suppose is a little better than the two 3 woods and a 5 I went with last year. Of course I have the 13* 3 deep coming my way and I plan to wreck some fools off the tee with that beast.

I can't imagine you stripping that bad boy off the tee. It may catch your driver! Glad to see you got your order in early pro.

my reasoning for going 3W on the J40 side of things, plan on using that club off the tee quite a bit

Mike what shaft did you go with in the 3+? Are you still not getting along with your driver?

Dude, went with the black tie too. That thing is going to be beastly. Once I made my hybrid decision the rest was easy. One 60* copper forged wedge left to order and my bag is done.
 
Man this thread is on fire today, I love it!!!

Almost so much action people forgot that JB dropped a format nugget this morning! :D
 
Some good 3 Deep orders going in today. Can't wait to see you guys hit this bad boy come July!

Iilima 60

Still not where Id like to be with it, but I'll get there eventually.

These courses require preciseness over length more times than not, so having options is good!

Can we try to get at least 9 holes in while in MB? Don't know the pairings but I know I'd like play a round with you!

I agree with that fo sho. Just wondering why you decided to switch it up and go with a different shaft then your driver? B-fit influence? Or just better results?

Yes this is 50 questions Mike. Ready! GO!

I pondered and discussed with thp inventory specialist war eagle quite a bit. I never intended to carry it all the way through, wanted something softer and higher launching for non drivers and hopefully I went the right way.

I just heard from Cobra and the irons were slightly delayed because there are out of stock on the AMP CELL Pro GW until June, so those sets will be sent out without the GW for now and as soon as they come in the GW will get shipped out separately.

Thank you so much for the update!!!

Just wondering brosephsaurus. Sounds like you got a lid on it. I'm still getting used to this shaft business. I hope you hit it well...........but not too well....... :alien:
 
Glad to see some are going to take us up on the 60 day challenge. I promise you, you will be happy you did so. The idea of being able to compete for all three rounds is something that I think a lot of the guys in previous events wish they were capable of doing.

I am more confused than ever after reading the last few pages. Just tell me when it is my turn to hit the little white ball.

I could not agree more with this, except my ball will be yellow more than likely! :alien:

Is this the new format? Scramble, putt putt, singles?


mikedean441 said:

Again well put :thumb:

Just make sure you stay hydrated. Drink even when you are not thirsty and remember to get some food in you too because you will be using more energy than what you are probably accustomed to.

Does Pizza Hut deliver to the hole directly or would we need to pick up at the turn? :D

Buckjob said:
i am bringing a ton of 1st tee bars and banannas for the rounds. i prob will only eat small things throughout the day and try to get a big breakfast in. i don't like eating at the turn especially if i'm playing well.

What no uncrustables????


JB said:
I really hope that people take the advice seriously. Long days in the hot sun. More humid than any outing has ever been. Then think about the mental drain which fatigues you faster. Then add all that to the fact that most are not getting wonderful night's sleep and you have a recipe for some people just not having "it" for a match or two. So whether you think you need to or not, think about the team that you are a part of and for this last 60 days, go nuts to be in the best shape you can be in. You will be so much happier that you did.

I did have every intention of knocking some weight off but sadly I have not succeeded so far, I am merely maintaining where I am. I will pledge to my teammates and to my friends here at THP that I will work very hard these next 60 days to build up my stamina and be physically and mentally ready for this event.

Dont do it for us Gordon, do it for yourself and your family.
 
JB said:
This was right around the time I went into my 60 days out get fit campaign for the MCs.
Guys, I think many from the previous years will tell you, 36 holes in that heat and humidity is very difficult.
If you are not in shape for it, you are doing your team a disservice as the back 9 of the last 18 is extremely difficult on you.
Many guys had struggles finishing the rounds due to being either in pain or out of shape and had not experienced 36 holes in this kind of weather with the mental fatigue that goes with it. Do yourself a favor and work hard the last 2 months to get into the best shape you can. You will be happy you did.

I have already started working on it....the last half of Saturdays' round was brutal and I was shot for Sunday.

JB said:
I agree. I have always been athletic and the 2nd 18 was like nothing I had ever gone through before. People were dead and those that were not in shape (Im not singling anybody out) did not fare all that well after round 1.

You can say it....it was me...LOL

Nate said:
We could join Tim down in Houston for a round to help us all get prepared......it is just brutal in Htown come summer.
Click to expand...

It is brutal down here in the summer...but I can tell you I have NEVER felt humidity like it was in MB last year....me and all the Florida guys that are supposedly used to humidity still struggled with it.

Howzat said:
It is such a different environment that people need to think about the emotional drain as well. My first match had so many ups and downs and was a tie after 18. After being that "on" all morning it was tough to get focused and into the second match. Rain delay helped me re-focus, but for guys that haven't played much competitive golf, it is a big change.
Click to expand...

I think that was part of my problem too....after playing WAY above my head in the morning round and even the first part of the Afternoon round, I just had nothing left.

18 at TB for me is a hole i would consider my favorite hole in golf for a few reasons.

1. I holed a 90 footer during a practice round with Ddec, P4B and Tyno. It was one of the coolest things i've ever done and something i'll never forget for the rest of my live. How many guys can say the holed a 90ft putt.

2. My Sunday singles match went all the way to 18 and walking off that green i shed a tear. Walking off the green seeing all those people on the balcony cheering for us gives you an enormous sense of pride.

3. The green of the 18th hole of True Blue was where INgolfer took the first photo of me and my new fiancee

You and me and TMex hugging and crying on that green is a moment I will always remember!

But don't forget about the ball eating bush under the balcony...hehe

I know that I felt like I let my team down on Sunday....I just had nothing left and my back seized up, it was a really emotional let down too...I had a hard time dealing with it. But I promise my teammates that WILL NOT be a problem this year!
 
TBT,
I was definitely not singling you out, because I think a lot of people felt it including myself. However I appreciate you posting that, because you have gone through it and know exactly what its like and how its unlike anything most encounter on a golf course. Between the mental drain of the entire weekend and the idea that 7 other guys are counting on you, to the physical demands that this weather + this much golf can leave people with nothing in the tank for multiple rounds.

I know there are some that are viewing this as a walk in the park with friends for a few rounds of golf and while there is a whole lot of fun to be had, it is demanding and teams do you want to win.
