Chump Fries
Captain Awesome
30 years ago, Courtney Humphries came into this world. At the ripe age of 23, he took up golf for the first time. Several years later he joined an online forum of semi-crazed golfers and aptly called himself chumphries. Fast forward a few more years and he was selected to be part of possibly the most unique event THP has ever offered.
After a few years on the forum, unbeknownst to chumphries, some people read that username as "chump fries" (really people?) Well it has stuck. After a week of good fun and constant ridicule, it was time for chumphries to die. Chumphries was a 3.5 handicap internet golfer who played on some of the easiest golf courses known to man. After being baptized in the green hell that is the kikuyu grass of southern Califorinia, the internet golfer played some of the worst golf of his life but had the absolute best time doing it.
Seriously, I hate this stuff:
Chumphries officially became Chump Fries when Don from PX wrote "Chump Fries" on the golf shaft order. 20 minutes later, a PX employee responsible for cutting out the pieces for my shaft came in the conference room and had questions about Chump Fries's unique shaft. After several minutes of laughter and from that moment on, Chump Fries was officially here to stay.
I want to give a big thanks to Don and all the people at Project X for putting on such a great event. I had the privilege of riding with Don during our round at Balboa. Ignoring the fact that I nearly snapped my 4 iron over my knee after nearly killing Awkward Silence (who was on the previous hole's green....don't ask), I had such a great time riding with Don and picking his brain about golf shafts, talking about some tour players, and just having a great afternoon. I truly looking forward to future THP events, catching up with the guys who I got to meet on this trip, and learning to crush my driver with my new handcrafted shaft Alez367/Sandiegonative style
(both guys killed it when they tried my new shaft)
