So today marks my 5 year anniversary here on THP. Like most I found this site searching for iron reviews, every time I would do a search on an iron THP would come up. @Jman @Canadan @ddec kept showing up in reviews every time I looked at THP. They just kept sucking me in!!!!
So I finally joined. I was a little hesitant at first to post much because I was still looking at iron reviews and had never been involved with a golf forum before. I kinda eased myself into the site and started to contribute a little at a time. Found the regional site and met up with a few THPers here in KS and played some golf outside of my little home course.
2016 rolls around and I wondered what it would be like to do an event. I was a 17HC at the time and didn't want to embarrass myself but signed up for the Cleveland Short Game Shootout. Holy cow I got chosen and got to go to Indianapolis to meet up with 7 other THPers and get some gear and play some golf. It poured on us, but we played golf, got some great new RTX3 wedges too!!!!! Those where fun to review and I played those for almost 2 years until I wore the grooves off.
I think it was the next year and I got chosen to test some Nippon NS Pro 950GH shafts. Didn't do as well on this review but tried my best.
Every year I am following along with the Grandaddy and entering competitions and seeing disappointment at every turn. But the follows where great and was fun to be able to follow along and hope that one day I would have the pleasure of going.
2019 rolls around and @McLovin gets the nod for Captain and I'm thinking this is the team I want to be on. Couple contest roll around and no selection, wife says stay positive and it will happen. Low and behold July 9th was the date getting the pm from @JB and life changes!!!! What a rush that is to read that announcement, unbelievable at first, then PM's pouring in. A friend @2BFAST called me to let me know as I hadn't been on the forum yet that morning. Crazy time that day was.
That brings us to today and a little over 26,000 posts. I am so glad I decided to join THP and become a part of such a great forum.
I have made plenty of friends that I have had the pleasure of golfing with, and many that I just PM with on occasion that I hope I get the pleasure of playing a round of golf with. Any THPers in Kansas that want to play, hit me up and we can try to meet up sometime. I play regular with @shanewu another Grandaddy alum.
Just want to say thank you to @JB and @GolferGal for such a wonderful site and all that you do for THPers.
Hope I can be here for many years to come.
Sorry for the long winded post.
