On Monday my family and I will descend on the happiest place on Earth (or is that Disneyland). I will be there through Friday

We will be celebrating a number of things while I'm their. My son's first Birthday and my wife's and my fifth anniversary.

If anyone knows me in real life I have stockpiled may too much golf gear in my house. Like I went through the process of writing it all down to sell on the forum and realized it would of taken way too many posts to get all the pictures in.

With that said, to help bring the forum along to celebrate this past year and the time at Disney I will be giving away some golf gear. Things may range from drivers (srixon z785 or ping g400 lst) , iron sets (srixon z785), wedges (sm6/sm7, cobra) and putters (ping vault, taylormade spider(s)). Golf balls, golf bags, and exotic shafts are all on the table. I haven't fully decided yet but the prizes will be good. But there will be three winners.

Contest 1: Which Disney Characters face and costume will my son like the best? Pick two and whoever is most right will win.

Contest 2: What will my first and last alcoholic drink be? Winner would be whoever is most correct on the two drinks.

Contest 3: Where does my son have his first tantrum on a Disney themepark Property (areas you need to have a ticket to get into). Choose a ride, a restaurant, a themepark, and area within a themepark (ie tomorrowland).

Some helpful hints: I've posted quite a bit on things I like to drink and my first meal will be at morimoto and last at the jungle canteen. I will be staying on property near epcot. My son has been watching disney junior alot and has seen a lot of the 90s movies.

Rules: free shipping to albatross club members. International winners are responsible for any fees and taxes. Items will be shipped via USPS. Non albatross club members are responsible for shipping. Contest winners will not know what they won until they recieve their box. Any ties will be broken via drawing. If you win and choose not to use the items, I ask that you donate them to the first tee or equivalent or hopefully choose to pay it forward. I could of easily traded these items in but want to give back to this amazing community.

Entries will be accepted through 1 June. 2 June winners will be announced.

Each contest is separate. A winner for each contest will be announced.

1. Mickey Mouse, Winnie the Pooh, if he like the characters at all. Not uncommon for babies to see them not in cartoon form and be like AHHH WHAT IS THAT?! FYI, that’s a thing. Plan accordingly.

Face character: Elena, Cinderella.

2. Depends where you have that first drink. Won’t be at MK. If Epcot, probably over in Mexico since people like to start there for some reason. Margarita. Horrible decision. If that’s what you do, go to the tequila bar inside the Mayan building instead of the outside line. AC, and better quality. Last drink should be something in the Rose and Crown over in England. It’s the happiest bar ever.

If at Disney Springs and at Morimoto.. yikes. Save it for at Epcot.

3. First tantrum: right near Prince Charming’s Carousel, just outside of New Fantasyland. Reason: it’s going to be in the upper 90’s and that area is swamped with people almost all the time. Noise, heat, humidity.. Oh yeah, that’ll happen there for sure. Just a matter of if he holds it together there until then. Honorable mention for the security line.
