Sunday evening we kick off the 2023 Budget Golf Championship with Bag Boy where eight 2-man teams battle it out at beautiful Ballyhack Golf Club. Playing alongside Budget Golf and Bag Boy, teams of THPers are ready to share the entire experience with you.
The Prize
Just because you are not at Ballyhack with us does not mean you can’t win from the 2023 Budget Golf Championship with Bag Boy. The lucky prediction winner will receive a prize pack full of swag, including a piece or two hand selected just like the stuff each participant is receiving. This is one contest you will want to enter and follow along to see how you did.

The other day I passed a silo while driving and was transported back to Ballyhack

I went to my wife’s friend’s house yesterday and they had a goat pen. Brought back Ballyhack memories for sure.

Hey hey! Same here brother. This was a great trip and unbelievable first event for me. Hope all is well with everyone!
I was also thinking the other day that it would be sweet to get the crew back together for a long weekend of golf some time in the future in a central location to all of us. Not sure how that would fare with everyone’s schedules and whatnot but was thinking it’d be something that I’d love to be a part of if everyone else was up to it and willing.

Lol. However long it takes to get it together is worth the wait if we all agreed to do it. Hell, we could even bring the significant others and they can meet each other too. 😀

I’ve only been a part of two events so far. Took me forever to finish the first one since it was a tad emotional. This one I started blazing through then the GD took hold of me lol
I don’t know how people read through their threads in a couple hours or a day or so. Takes me way longer than that

Reading and browsing through this thread and bumping for those that are in the Bag Boy Championship to check out if you haven’t read yet.

“couple of hours” is skimming to the fullest and therefore not really reading through the thread. :LOL:

I wanted to go through it again in the dead of winter here and did some last night. It was wonderful after letting it settle a little over the summer. I have a feeling I’ll be doing it again in the spring when THP is at Ballyhack.

I always thought I was the slow one. Everybody else catches up in like 45 seconds.
