I originally posted the below comments in the Happy Thread, but I keep seeing anywhere from 1,500 to 2,000 guests on this forum during the day, and I want to give them some added motivation! Come on all you guests out there, don't wait one more day, join this community!! You will be glad you did! I will gladly welcome you, like I've been welcomed here!
Today marks one year since I decided to join the THP forum. Looking for new irons last year has lead me to so much more than I could have ever imagined.
- I joined because of the Albatross Club, and what Pediatric Cancer means to me. The support of St. Jude by this community speaks volumes to the character you all possess.
- I learned what the forum is all about following the Morgan Cup at Haig Point shortly after joining. The comradery I saw during that event, between guys who were meeting in person for the first time, was something I will never forget. I was wondering how strangers could be so close, but now I get it!
- I've learned that Grandaddy is not another name for Grandpa, it's something that a year ago, I wouldn't have thought any average Joe actually got to do. Now I've read through 2 years of 200+ pages describing an experience that is almost indescribable!
- I've gotten to test out new equipment from manufacturers I would have never really looked at before.
- I've have conversations with executives of large golf equipment companies here on the forum, discussing details about their R&D process, or future plans, etc, etc. The access we have to these companies is amazing!
- I've followed along with people playing courses that a year ago I would only have dreamed about playing, but the opportunity is there for me, and for us all!
- My golf passion has taken a giant leap forward!
- But most of all, I get to engage with fantastic people, talk about life, golf, and everything in between. Seriously, and I don't say this lightly, but there are so many fantastic people, from all over the world, that I've had the pleasure of talking with. Thank you all!
So if you're reading this, wondering whether or not you should join THP, don't wait another day! Just do it, you won't be disappointed. This past year here has been amazing, and I can't wait to see what my 2nd year brings to those of us that love THP!
This about sums it up. Almost everyone I've met here has been 100% awesome! Can't wait to meet more great THPers!
