Is that all? :alien:
 
Just WOW!!!!!
:clapp:
 
Thanks fup!
 
This is just awesome. And to think about all of the giveaways and forum testing not listed, shoulder taps as well. 2017 was one heck of a year and this was a fun reminder of all of the great stuff that took place. Amazing thread Fupresti and it is humbling to say the least, while still a little self high five in there. Great group of people involved in all of it and the fun is what its all about.

Kind of crazy to say this, but 2018 is going to blow it out of the water...
 
What an amazing year, I'm so happy to be a part of it! Can't wait to see what 2018 brings.
 
Great thread Fup!!! An amazing year indeed. And with 2018 slated to be even better....bring on the new year!!!
 
I think you missed a few but you still get an A+ for doing all that! Crazy 2017 year!
 
Hell of a recap David.

No one told me it was 600 seconds though that would have been one hell of a haul

You should link the full 2017 PGA show video in the OP.
 
BTW....with all the events listed there, huge thanks to Mr. 441.
 
That's one heck of a year Fupresti, can't wait to get in on some 2018 THP action.

My God this place has grown!

Needs some 2017 PGA show coverage in there for the 2017 year in review.

Thanks man...lots of time spent on them this year glad everyone enjoyed them
 
Holy smokes that's a whole lot of goodness! Great job putting that together Fupresti. It's crazy to look back on how much happened this year. And when you think about how THP improves every year 2018 is going to be absolutely crazy!
 
Great recap...so many great events. Even if didn't attend by just following along almost felt you were there enjoying the excitement and enthusiasm. Thanks.
 
Fantastic job with this and the weekly threads fupresti! 2017 was an amazing year on THP and 2018 is shaping up to hit a whole new level!
 
My most memorable moments of 2017 were participating in Hype with Callaway, our Annual New England Unofficial Outing at Redtail, and a trip to Ocean's Edge resort with THPers to kick off the season!
 
My favorite moments of 2017:
The Grandaddy (of course)....

Playing with Greg & DMoney at SEC Regional Rivalry.

Breaking down the Hype Event odds, and watching my man Haso (I didn’t know him at the time, but he’s my man now kinda thing) get his ticket punched to the Grandaddy (just the raw emotion of the moment, I’m a sucker for anytime someone gets his ticket punched to the Grandest Event of them All).

Sweating the rail for the THP Championship, F5’ing the wreck that was 13 at Dubsdread...

Getting a text by text run down of Shaft Up from Eliterate while it was going down... (Was so Jelly)

I was fortunate enough to have been in 2 events in 2017. They were two great events that I was glad to be a part of and had a blast in both.
To think that 2018 could be better is unreal and I can't wait to throw my hat in the ring for as many events as possible
