JB said:
The Grandaddy is the pinnacle of all things golf and executed to perfection to give lucky THPers a trip of a lifetime. All expenses paid to California to get fit by experts, receive a bag full of equipment and put that equipment into play at one of the finest courses in the world. Getting into the event is as easy as winning one of the contests and today we are honored to kick them off.

I'm sure you meant to say Four-Time, buddy. They don't list all of them if you win the same type of event more than once (I.e. Invitationals).

Excuse me, fine sir. The Gradaddy seems like a pretty good place then to get that coveted 5-time tag.

I've noticed a few times during a Grandaddy contest that the fourum thread is a little dead and honestly if people don't want to enter for the best trip of a lifetime it just better ls my chances of getting the call up lol.
 
It's Masters week AND the 1st Grandaddy contest.....comm'on people!

I played 18 yesterday and was paired up with 2 other guys, I was telling the about #TheGrandaddy and they looked at me like I was crazy, I don't think they believed me, so told I them where to find the info. When you're telling people about it and what is involved, it does sound too good to be true. Every shot I made yesterday I had this event on my mind.
 
I need to do this tonight. April 10 will be here fast

Finally got my entry submitted. I can't wait to see who gets the lucky invitation!
 
Great first contest. Really enjoyed both podcasts on my plane ride the other day.
 
I had to listen to the thp radio episodes with Harry and Jason twice. First time around I went right thru the episodes as they are that good. The second time I had to try and pay specific attention to the questions.
Words can't describe how special this event is... so much awesome!
 
This is special! I want to be part of something special!!!
 
As a golf nerd on THP, you would have to be literally crazy to not enter these contests.

A couple of months ago I'll admit I didn't really have Callaway on my radar. After reading the 2015 Grandaddy thread, and interacting with them on twitter the last couple of club trials / purchase ponders I've done have been Callaway clubs. I literally don't understand people that are engaged with this site not entering this opportunity of a lifetime.

For whatever reason some people don't like

Playing golf at one of the finest courses in the country
Full bag of clubs fit for them by the best in the business
All expenses paid including hotel, airfare and all food

No big deal. Team THP will be rocking and rolling and better than ever later this year. Perhaps this needed to be posted in the regional chat threads....hahaha.

Or is it that people are entering and then not posting in the thread saying "Entry Sent"?

Or maybe they just don't like awesome contests that require some effort on their part to enter?

I like posting Entry Sent, and putting in effort. :act-up:
 
Mine went in this morning, after listening to the interviews last night.
 
You get to play golf HERE! It doesn't look real, but oh it is! What is perfection? THE GRANDADDY

I want to play here again with THP and The Zoo Crew! I want the newest and best equipment on the market! I want comfort stations and blueberry lemonade and breakfast sliders!

I was considering taking a pass on #TheGrandaddy this year, since I'll turn 73, and that's pretty old for serious competition. But, I get so damned excited for this one that I just can't sit idly by and not take a chance. Besides, I've been known to surprise a few people, even at this age. Entry is in!

I would be honored to have you on any team that I'm on again. You, young man...are a playa and I would be nervous if on the opposing side. Your sneaky.

Oh...and yes I put an entry in too!

What I don't get is there's always at least as many guests reading this thread as members, and often it's 2 or 3 times the amount. Why not sign up, join the Albatross club and give it a shot? It's really a small price to pay for a shot at the best golf event in the world.
 
This is one of the first things I think about when I get up in the morning. My wife has already told me she is dreading this year for the fact that I talk about this so often.
 
What an opportunity of a lifetime for us all. Good luck everyone
 
My entry is in :)
 
I had some relatives poke fun at me Sunday saying that I sounded like a network marketer since I wouldn't shut up about how awesome THP was... What can I say, I want to share it with everyone!

It's hard to explain, and even harder to stop trying to explain haha!

Just imagine a spot on the Grandaddy, trying to explain exactly what THP and Callaway are doing for a group of golfers. I've done it a few times now (like.. 30ish), and most of the time I get a fairly bewildered stare and a laugh.

I think until it's experienced, the Grandaddy is just one of those life experiences that cannot be adequately weighed and measured until you've lived it.
