One of the best THP Events from 2014 is coming back this year and today THP is proud to announce the captains for this unique format. The Gauntlet consists of 6 teams, each with 4 players and the weekend event is played on multiple courses…Hence running a gauntlet of challenges.
Each team of 4 consists of 3 members of the THP Forum (signup is coming soon) and the captain is from the marketing team at Callaway Golf, affectionately known as the Zoo Crew. Last year, the team led by Johnny Rodriguez took the championship and the hardware and earned a spot in the THP Events Hall of Fame.
This year’s event is headed to the windy city and being played at the beautiful Cog Hill courses. The festivities are sure to be special as the itinerary is setup for a spectacular weekend.
