The 2025 GOAT Cup sponsored by Callaway Golf is here soon and just because you are not part of the action does not mean you can’t win alongside them. For those new to THP, this experience is unlike any other complete with education on golf balls, gear and so much more.
The Prize
Each of the event participants will be using custom Callaway golf balls along with a lot of Goat Cup custom items from Callaway Performance Gear. Just because you are not with us, does not mean you can’t win as well. We have put together a killer Mystery Box courtesy of Callaway Golf and THP.

Team Tudor let’s go! You guys got this!

This one, more than any experience I can remember, makes me want to hide and not make a team pick. Both teams have guys that I consider brothers and, as JB has pointed out, I tend to vote (and bet) with my stupid heart. Going to have to slow play this one for a bit and wait for the preview show.

I would go with Team Tudor.
Have you seen those guys over there?
Ok.. back to actual Goat Cup. Has everyone seen the hardware this year?? If not.. here is a link to [USER=5944]@jdtox[/USER] thread presenting them. So friggin’ sweet!!

I don’t blame anyone for not picking yet… should be super close. If I wasn’t a participant I highly doubt I would’ve made a selection yet. But make sure to do the right thing here.

Not many (any) trees at Graybull so finding nuts may be difficult.

I haven’t had a drink in over two years, but do they even make High Life anymore? lol

Congrats on the two years dude!
But yes, as a Wisconsinite and High Life and Light fan, I can assure you it is still made lol
As a newer member, cannot wait for pics of GrayBull to start rolling in. For everyone participating, and anyone who has played it in the past, what aspects of the course are you most looking forward to?

I can’t wait to see the unique layout in that it’s one continuous course. Plus the design isn’t like anything I’ve played on before.

Is the layout considered a links style course, or is it just a long stretch of open land, being in Nebraska and all.

Pure, unadulterated golf, for as far as the eye can see. We have seen some pictures of this place from a previous experience but I feel like they may not do it justice.
Gonna have to go with Mr 15 handicap my ass [USER=41109]@bigbov[/USER] and team Tudor here. For my coins however I will wait for the preview show.

For me I’m really looking forward to seeing the green complexes. They look very tricky. In terms of layout the only thing I’ve played before that seems somewhat comparable is Streamsong Red with the bunkering and dunes.
[QUOTE=”jlew, post: 13218598, member: 40346″]
Just want to make sure that we keep in mind, there may be things in [USER=68899]@AT_CG[/USER] or [USER=83701]@DB_CG[/USER] ‘s bags that can’t be pictured. So don’t get too upset in the event they’re unable to snap pics. If memory serves Finley was playing with a then unreleased driver last year, and we’ve heard Mr. Vrska talk about playing with an AI-One putter several months before they were released to the public.
[/QUOTE]
This guy knows. [USER=83701]@DB_CG[/USER] said he’s leaving his WITB as a surprise for now when first asked. Surprise for us to see while there and under embargo or just as an actual surprise…who knows. So yes, we will try but can’t make any promises

Live thread!!!
A couple months ago I was sure who I was backing in this. But now I’m not. So I’m going to continue to agonize over it for another day or two before making my pick.

Are you required to vote against Team Finley, even though he’s not there?
[QUOTE=”bigbov, post: 13218732, member: 41109″]
Loving all the action in here already. As other participants have mentioned… if you have any questions for the Callaway guys feel free to tag me and I will certainly try to get them all answered.

Well, my original thought was actually the opposite. Root for Team Finely so he’s not riding a losing streak in December. But now that he’s not actually there, it’s a tougher decision.

Just a reminder for those following, the guys already know, that MVP isn’t predicated on winning the Goat Cup. Bag and ball reviews will be a large part. Of course they need to kill it during the live thread too, but that’s going to be easy for these four

This is a completely different type of course than I normally play. I’ve played links style before, but nothing where it’s one long loop around. Driving on basically no cart paths near tee boxes and around the greens is unique and something I need to see in person.
