Hot dogs... Ugh....How is this the first time that we've heard about the hot dog incident??
Great, great, great, wonderful, spectacular recaps from everyone so far. Love the pics and the videos and descriptions. It makes me happy for everyone who was there and makes me want to get into the next event even more!
Threw my photos in a slideshow I may find more somewhere and post them up but these are what I have for now.
Damn Ron...that made me tear up buddy. Looking at the video it seems like such a short walk but it felt like we were walking a mile up that fairway, and I mean that in a good way. Such a wonderful memory that I will never ever forget.
Want to write a quick something about the two captains.
When we decided to do this event I was on a search to find two captains that believe in THP to make the trek to Myrtle Beach to watch a bunch of guys play golf, and start the work 6 months ahead of time. Then I wanted to also make sure that they had very different personalities. My search started and stopped with these two gentlemen. Both Ricky and Mike were offered the positions and both accepted and we were on our way. Throughout the process, we will have ups and downs internally, but none of that mattered because in the end, these were two people that had the two character traits we were looking for. Reliability and integrity.
They handled a lot of the burden, they did so without a fuss and did it on their own time. They both wanted to win, but knew it was also about the event, about THP and most importantly about the participants involved. We wanted to spoil them rotten for agreeing to take on the opportunity and did some nice things, but it was never about that. It was always about the event for them and the THPers.
Mike - You have traveled the country with me both for THP Events, Event planning and industry stuff. Lives change, time available changes and yet you always made sure your team was able to get you. You went down and handled your business and are now in the THP Hall of Fame for the 3rd time. For all of the SWAG jokes, you never once made it about you and both you and Ricky knew going in there was little there. We hope you enjoy the gifts however, it was the least we could do.
Ricky - The jokes of rants and stuff become a thing of legend, but the people that got to meet the real Ricky Devrickus (name in my phone) got to see a guy that wears his heart on his sleeve and cares so much for those around him. You took the time to really get to know everybody and embrace this event for everything it was and offered...But did so for everybody else. You put your stamp on the people here and most importantly put your stamp on the event and the Legacy of THP as a whole.
And the two of you will always have the memories....And in the immortal words of two wrestlers I have no idea what their names are...
I GOT TWO WORDS FOR YA....

Saturday AM. Army/McRock vs. T2GRN/Jhoeffer
I was thrilled to have Dan as my partner because this guy is fun and can flat out play GREAT golf. He was on fire all weekend throwing up or beating personal bests and his swing was looking great while doing it. On #1 At True Blue the golf gods were on our side when Kevin threw a dart right over the flagstick...that hit a sprinkler head and flew into the woods with a mighty bounce. 1 UP, we'll take it. Over the rest of the front 9 Rock and I scooted out to a 4 up lead thanks to his solid play and some good timing on my part. I had an 18" putt to go 5 up on #10 and pretty much seal the deal and you guessed it...lip out. DAMN! Oh well, we're still way up....no problem. Little did we know we were about to come face to face with a couple animals who weren't going down without a fight. Rock and I figured we would just hit GIR and make pars and there's no way we can lose. Oops.
On hole #12 I hit a great recovery from the waste area to 12 feet while Kevin was up on the other tier with a 20 footer...which he drained for birdie. Wow. 3UP.
On hole #13 Rock and I both went FIR GIR to about 8 feet each for birdie. We both missed the putts to push the hole. Crap.
On hole #14 Jed, Rock, and myself all had about 20 feet for birdie. Rock and I missed, and Jed drains this 20 foot downhill slider to win the hole. 2 UP.
On hole #15 We were all on or around the green in 3. I thinned a chip to take me out of it, and they managed to get us with a net birdie. 1UP. IS THIS HAPPENING?!?!
On hole #16. Rock and I miss the green and head to the drop zone. They are both dancing but have LONG putts remaining. They get in for bogey so all we have to do is 2-putt from the friendly drop area...we both 3 putt. All Square. At this point we can't believe what is happening.
On #17 both Rock and I get our heads out of our asses and go FIR GIR. Rock makes a net birdie to win the hole.
On #18 I hit my drive right into range ball heaven and pretty much take myself out of the hole. Kevin is right with a nasty lie. Jhoeffer throws his approach to 3 feet. Rock goes to about 12 feet but he pops on the hole. He 2 putts for another net birdie to seal us the victory making Jhoeffers birdie putt meaningless...but he stepped up and drained it anyway to cap off the best 9 of his life at 1 over par.
What a freaking match!!!!!
The nerves are so real the first four holes or so of each round are brutal. Then standing over the Putt you know will decide the match just takes it to another levelRandom recap thought.
Many of us have probably played in one tournament or another. Perhaps some play in several a year. I play in my City Tournament every year, won twice. I usually start prepping for it a couple of weeks in advance.
Then there was the Legacy. Prepping started a couple weeks before I even got picked. I was golfing as early as the beginning of March. Several month of prep for one tournament. You only get one chance. You are standing on 17 all square, with 4 feet to win the hole.....the nerves are definitely real.
