Contest and Live Update Thread: 2019 Bridgestone Championship

[JB]

Great weekend of golf, experience and building lasting memories while meeting some good golfers(even better guys). Everything from the pre-round @fox meadow cc to the red carpet treatment that was rolled out by the great people at Bridgestone. We got great inside looks into the company, one on one introduction to the technology, premier tournaments and close ups at VIP events. My mind is swimming with everything we experienced in a weekend, but boy was it fun and memorable. All this hosted in the great little city of Akron, my home town.

There are so many things I'm looking to share, but so far the balls (RX), wedges, bag, gloves, and hats are stellar!

Cannot send a big enough thank you to THP and Bridgestone for introducing me to live events with this gem!

My live updates will be better in the future, gotta start somewhere.

Thanks @JB!

Made it home. Have some family time to catch up on tonight, but I’ll have a full write up coming tomorrow. Thanks to everyone for the congrats. The win is awesome for obvious reasons, but it’s secondary to everything else that took place this weekend. New friends, a ton of laughs, and memories I’ll have for a very long time.

Nothing beats THP events.

That’s got to be a welcome change.

First time playing alt shot. It was a doosey, we didn't help each other out in the beginning. Fun format but got in our heads trying to do too much.

He explained it afterward. He is coming from a long drive background and doesn’t put in the work anymore but the swing is still present. Nice guy and I hope the timing comes back for him.

Long drive background makes sense. Seems like a nice dude and great sense of humor!

Did anyone in the group online fit themselves with the Bridgestone website before? If so, were the results the same?

Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

Sorry for the late reply. Yes it was. I think someone (that shall remain nameless) tried to talk them into the E12 Soft for me, lol. It’s really a good ball too but launches a little on the high side for me.

Still stuck in Cleveland with flight delays may not make it home tonight. Time for more drinks.

Using the database, it looks like the X fits me. I will definitely look into it! I didn't realize until this event how in-depth their fitting system was!

Bummer!!! Hope you get home tonight. I made it back with zero issues. Well, other than Uber rates being 2x normal because of demand.

What a freaking night. Someone said to me tonight "If you can't have fun at this, you don't know what fun is". I think that summed up the evening perfectly.

It was so fun this fat boy dang near forgot to eat, Dan and I got a couple of the last steaks.

Getting stuck in airports isn't too fun after awhile. But hard to get too upset after the last few spectacular days
