Now that I'm home from work I can reflect on this past weekend.
First, I want to thank JB, GG, Tyler and the people at Ben Hogan that made this event possible, it was truly an awesome time. It was fun spending time with a few guys who were new to THP events and soak in all of the great things Ben Hogan had to offer. There really is nothing like being in a THP event, and we are lucky to have that opportunity.
Jrt13- You are the only one I didn't get to play with this weekend, but I heard all about your game from everyone that did. It sounded like you were tearing up the course man! I'm happy we were able to catch breakfast together on Friday morning so we had a chance to get to know each other.
JbCobbIII- I got to play both rounds with you and had an absolute blast. I know there were some rough times on the course but loved your attitude and it was awesome to see you turn it around on Sunday and hit some really great shots.
Qwkz51- It was a lot of fun playing on Saturday during our first round, you can absolutely pound the ball. None of us brought our A game during that round but I can tell you that we had a lot of fun while doing it. We will have to get that make up round in sometime!
jbuck31- It was awesome finally getting to meet you after we've been talking for a long time leading up to this event. I'm happy we were able to get to play together during the practice round Friday since we weren't able to tee it up together during the event. Your first event turned out to be a great one, and I hope it's your first of many!
LLIB- What a fun round we had on Sunday my man. We got up big on them and started to leak oil and you drained a putt out of nowhere to seal the match, that was one of the best moments of the entire weekend right there on 8 green! When I think it can't get any better, you hit that awesome iron shot from 10 fairway up onto 18 green and help seal the match with the clutch putt! That was one of the most fun rounds of golf I have ever played!
JB- It was a lot of fun teeing it up with you once again! While neither of us played great during that round it was entertaining for sure, especially when someone in the group 3 putted from 2 feet to go from winning a hole to losing it ( we won't name any names haha ). Thanks again for everything this past weekend, it's one I'm going to remember for a long time.
Tyler- What an absolute blast it was playing golf with you on Sunday. Thanks for allowing us to ask questions and you giving us a lot of information on the Ben Hogan brand and what it's plans are. Appreciate you taking the time out to come play with us hackers!
The generals- Thank you for taking the time out of your lives to help us make sure we had a great time. I know that it was very time consuming and it is much appreciated.
I am not sure the forum knows exactly how much you guys all did. First day was CPO and in a shamble there are golf balls that aren't close to each other. Mike was running all around the course (and it was 90+ degrees both days) getting those golf balls to make sure we didn't have to and we could focus on our shots. He would run out to the fairway and laser the distance for us before we even had a chance to grab a club. They would both help each team read putts and let us know where to not miss on the hole. It was really a nice addition to the event because the course was tough around the greens. I'm not sure I've ever played a course where it was that tough for me around the greens. Lag putts and getting up and down were very tough here, and if you missed in the wrong spot it was almost impossible. The fact that they helped us with that was so valuable.
This weekend was one I won't forget, and really enjoyed the friendships that were created. The clubs were fantastic and I can't wait to get them back on my home course to see how they perform for me here. The driver was my favorite club in the bag the last couple days and can't wait to hit it again!
