Listen, that food was great. Just because 23 other grown men were gonna let a heavy handed line cook get between them and some meat, doesn't mean I was haha.

So cool! Glad I joined recently!
Check out the live round threads from previous years if you haven’t already! They will blow your mind!
For past participants who have experienced the Hideaway, what would recommend this year's team focus on to be prepared? Was there any part of your game which you wished was more dialed going in?
If you are not used to putting on fast greens try and find somewhere to practice on fast greens. They run true, but will be fastish.
Great advice! Are they Bermuda where you need to be able to read grain or is it just figuring out slope and speed?

they are, yes
i will say this until I’m blue in the face, whether the Hideaway or any other course for a thp event....short, game, short game, short game..... practice and be comfortable with your wedges and putter. Nerves are real and more often than not the wedge or putter will save a hole.
It is a pristine place - the course may well be more well maintained than any course you ever play again. It is a beautiful course. All of us who have been once before would give our left arm to go again. But it is reasonably straight forward golf. I don't ever recall feeling like either course required some special skill. It is just golf. Hit the ball, find the ball, repeat. IMHO the skill most people would benefit most from would be relaxation and being in the moment. Go practice that
7ish months 
Perfect timed advice. Looking at Arccos it is obvious that my attention to improving my full swing has come at the expense of my short game. My last few rounds my chipping was not near as sharp as previously. I already have a plan to tighten it back up!
I signed up for 3 match play events at my club this month.
2 at 1 course, 1 at the other. Going to be some good prep in getting more comfortable with the format!

I know @RealPretendPsychic already mentioned it, but just wanted to say it again - take a read through past years! So much fun!! You can feel the hype through their posts.
So damn excited!
Me too. On day 2 I went through about 14 balls - every first tee shots was dead leftThe bold portion of your quote was a bit hard at times for me.
Training just got serious. We want the belt!
Nice win!

Pretty darn impressive from @RealPretendPsychic to win in his first tournament!
Saw that Alex Cejka ( Senior Tour winner today) was wearing a Hideway hat today.
