Awesome dude! I think it's going to be an incredible addition to the testing side of THP. In person fitting, on course review, take it home and keep the long term reviews coming for the community here! I think those testing threads will be packed with all kinds of review goodness.

Pfft. Mini has a turbo in it, son. I could do it in 3.5, providing I had an escort from Wake.

Haha Police Escort FTW

I want to do this in a bad way. Seems like a great way to spend my first time ever in Florida

I couldn't agree with you anymore! I am extremely excited to get the chance to meet up with so many THP'ers. It's going to be so fun:)
 
If I'm picked, I'll be driving down, so I'd have a vehicle as well.
 
Some THP'ers are gonna have a blast no doubt. I look forward to reading all about it too, this is a HUGE evolution for THP.

I think those in North FL will be all over this one. They asked for further North than Orlando and while its not a lot further, it is north of there. Incredible venue with one of the best courses in the state, and the opportunity to jump into pre-release testing and meet the people behind the scenes.

Within an 8-10 hour drive it would be a NO BRAINER.
 
Sweet! I already have a free ticket from AirTran.....hmmm...

While Im not able to release the specifics on the price yet, I can say as the THP Events Coordinator I tried to keep the price VERY VERY SIMILAR to the last event I worked on which was the Bridgestone Championship

just sayin...

right, not able to give the exact dollar amount, just a ballpark figure that may or may not be exactly the same as Bridgestone Championship
 
Holy awesomeness!

new thread - update below

last week thp threw out a teaser about ultimate club testing coming to the members of the community and today we want to expand and give some details. As many of you know, thp believes that equipment testing should not only be done by us here at hq, but also by the wonderful readers. Because of that thp launched forum testing, the morgan cup, the thp demo day, tour van events, thp invitationals, etc. These are all great ways to get real info, straight from regular golfers just like you, but thp felt as though even more could be done to assist those looking for a plethora of information on equipment.

Evolving through creativity and innovation, it's what we live for, it's what keeps us ticking and it's what helps us grow. It's what gave us the fundamentals behind the ultimate club testing.

Club testing - it will be your job to test the club fully. Both on site of the event and after the weekend concludes.

Education - you will be educated on the club, directly from the company that puts it out. No quick notes or synopsis from a local rep or store, but getting all of your questions answered on why it works the way it does.

Fitting - real fitting, by the company behind the equipment, outside on a range, with a launch monitor just like the pros do.

Reviews - just like with thp forum testing, you will be responsible for a long-term review of the equipment being tested, as well as answering questions from the members of thp.

Destination - ultimate club testing hosted by thp, will be on location at a destination golf locale.

Golf - not only will you get fit for the equipment you will be testing, but you will put it right in the bag and into play for multiple rounds of golf with other thpers, as well as the company behind the gear for a couple of days.

All of this is part of the thp ultimate club testing and it is coming soon. Here are a few other details.

The education & fitting sessions will be available for the thp readers to watch that are not in attendance.
The events will be very limited in number of spots available.
Albatross club members will get early signup privileges, which we expect will fill most (if not all) of the spots.

update - the details

when
august 31st - september 1st (saturday & sunday)

where
mission inn resort in florida
el campeon - featuring the devil's delight

this hidden gem of a golf resort is located about 30 miles north of orlando and while it is well known by those around the area, some have not heard of it. El campeon (one of their two courses at mission inn) is one of the best golf courses in the area based on just about every list that has come out over the last 20 years. You can see pictures of the course on thp right here.

equipment being tested
as of now, no info can be given. What you need to know is that this equipment will be pre-release and each participant must sign a nda (non-disclosure agreement) before taking part in this event. While you will be reviewing the club and every aspect of it, reviews will not be published until the embargo date has been reached.

itinerary
saturday morning - fitting & education
each participant will spend time with the company involved to learn more about the equipment they are testing as well as get personally fit with the team. More information will be coming out soon about this part, but we have to keep it fairly quiet right now because it involves pre-release equipment.

saturday afternoon - golf round
put the new equipment in play for 18 holes as you test for full reviews. You will be asked to put it through its paces and take notes so that you can update the review thread when the embargo date reaches.

sunday morning - golf round
another round of testing on the course similar to the above.

bonus round
you receive a 3rd round of golf as part of this package, and that can be used any time during your stay.

lodging
each participant will be staying on site at the mission inn resort as part of the package for 2 nights. Check in will be friday.

signing up
thp ultimate club testing is available for albatross club members only.
There will be a very limited amount of open spots available for this.
Signup announcements will be coming soon.

the finale
at the end of the weekend, you get to keep your newly fitted and tested equipment to be named later to continue to review.

coming soon
the company involved
the cost for the event
the equipment being tested
when signup begins.

in case it was lost in all the excitement....all of this and the unknown for $349ish ballpark!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I guess I'll put it out there, yes we all have budgets, but for a once in a lifetime opportunity, and knowing that THP has always done it's best to make things affordable, I have no idea it'll be worth every penny!!!
