I have been hearing a LOT of Christmas is only X amount of days away conversation before we even get to Halloween. However, these people are right. Almost single digit weeks until the “Holiday Season”.
More importantly though, that means we are 8ish weeks away from The Grandaddy of Them All which is basically a holiday for THPers.
I had an idea of reliving some fun Grandaddy memories in the coming weeks to remind us of some of the best moments in Grandaddy history after a year away from it.
So starting this Friday I will post at least one memory from past Grandaddy’s that we can reminisce on.
For the first post of this thread I thought I would start with a recent memory we may all remember involving some members we all know and love.
The stage is the 2019 Grandaddy. We are on day 3 which is traditionally the first day of matches at The Hideaway. The 2019 version included a 9 hole shamble, 9 hole best ball and a horse race that didn’t count towards the event but was offering up a $250 Travis Matthew gift card to the winners.
To revisit this memory we need to go back 1 night previous to Dinner at Al’s house. Pairings were selected that night, and after months of back and forth banter between the two, Team THP selected @Snickerdog to take on @JasonFinleyCG . @JMB3 and @jeffneubarth were along for the ride in this heavy weight battle. However, Snicks couldn’t have known that he would be drowning in metaphorical milk.
When the pairings were announced there was a clamoring in the room. The evidence was damning for Snickerdog. Thanks to great camerawork all night at Al’s by fellow “izzle” brethren @j_sizzle9 after getting a “special” Uber ride to Al’s (more to come on that in future posts) we were able to see the moment pairings were announced. Watch the whole video or you can skip to the juicy parts at 5:50. Snickerdog is clearly pumped for the chance at the GOAT and everyone was excited to see what happened on course.
The next day after some morning rain, the matches kick off. On the course Team THP and Snickerdog put up a good fight against Callaway’s two best trash takers after being down big at one point in the match. However, both matches ended in 2 & 1 victories for @JasonFinleyCG and @jeffneubarth .
Finally we get to the memory we are waiting for. After the win Jason and Jeff sent a message to THP regarding their beloved @Snickerdog . What they did was pure gold. From there Snickerdoodle was born and another THP legend succumbed to the wrath of Darth Finley.....I personally haven’t looked at a Snickers bar the same since this video. Just one of the many awesome moments in The Grandaddy. Make sure to follow our Grandaddy experience this December and tune in next week for another Grandaddy memory!
