It’s the second trip of the THP Event series called Shaft Up with UST Mamiya. For those that have missed the previous years, Shaft Up is a series of 3 events on the THP Forum where lucky winners win a full fitting, golf at amazing course and new equipment and oh yeah, it is all 100% free including airfare. This year trip 2 is being held in St. Louis and two lucky THPers are heading there next week to play Bellerive, previous host of the PGA Championship.
Last week, we announced the 3rd Shaft Up with UST Mamiya is coming soon and you can see the details of that here. You could win a trip to play Olympia Fields along with a fitting and new Mizuno equipment. During this live update thread, we will have details on how to signup to win that trip.
Before getting ahead of ourselves however, Shaft Up #2 is coming and just because you will not be at Bellerive with Danny Le from UST Mamiya, and myself, does not mean you cannot win an amazing prize.

How is the state of @DannyLe ‘s game at the moment… ?
Steady, but coming off two losses in Vegas. Mine is steady but coming off a tie in Chicago. Clearly based on handicap we are giving way too many strokes, but wanted to make it fun.

But we will have fun !

Percentage of total action:
Danny & JB – 54%
fuffle & rlefig- 46%
I’ve see enough to post a number…
I’ve played with & against both Danny & JB. I was Danny’s partner in a winning effort at the UST Mamiya/ Ben Hogan Experience.
In the practice round before that event Danny & JB waxed Tyler & I 4&3. They are a really good team that can maneuver their way around the course.
@fuffle master & @rlefig don’t have experience or familiarity on their side but they are getting an avalanche of Pops. These pops will allow them to hang around until the end, tough call on a tough track.
Odds of Winning Shaft Up #2:
@DannyLe & @JB -155
@fuffle master & @rlefig +135
View attachment 9009483
normally in a low / low with pops I would be worried, but with new drivers in hand bombs off the tee are going to put you both in good position!
@JB are you giving stroke a hole in shamble format!?
Yes sir. This way the gentlemen with brand new fit clubs can get acclimated to those newfound distances off the tee.
Go get ’em… @fuffle master @rlefig – keep the Danny Le shutout going haha only kidding if Danny sees this haha!
Nothing better than a shamble and new driver… 1st player safe… SWING FOR THE FENCES!!!!!! Takes a lot to get to Danny Driver Distance.
Danny and JB
Cobra RAD Speed
UST Proforce V2
UST VTS Silver (but the V2 is growing on me)
Spectacular…
Definitely value but they will go down in flames! The smart bet is @JB and I…
You are banned.
You have till next week of course haha
hahahaha rising from the depths! lurking and following my posts! Good luck Danny!
A lot of Bogey Net Par and Par Net Birdie and I feel like these boys might get Birdie net Eagle!
Well, I am glad to hear this as Rob and I didn’t want to 9 and 8 you and @JB
