For the guys that have been selected already. How excited are you to see who joins your team? What characteristics do you want to see from the newest members of the teams?
Pretty darn excited to see who will be joining us. You and Ron have your hands full trying to fill out the teams. Having played in a good number of THP events, I have never been paired with someone who was not a great partner and person and having played in a few team events, the same thing rings true. I know with whomever it is who rounds out our team, they will be good people and will have the desire to get their games as sharp as possible for July to represent the Carolinas.
I am hoping that the newest members fully embrace the event and dive head first into everything that THP offers. It is more than a golf website. It is whatever you make as it has been said, but THP goes from a golf website to a true community once you partake in an event and see how great the people are here.
In terms of what I am hoping to see from my teammates on the course, I am looking for a teammate who is going to be level-headed throughout a match-play style competition. This past weekend at the Kentwool, I was fully reminded of how quickly momentum can change and how important it is to just keep playing your game. There is no reason to get too high or low during a round. I am also looking for someone who is competitive but will also have respect for their opponent. In the end, we all want to win but how we carry ourselves on the course and treat our opponents is more important IMO.
