As 2013 came to end, a small group of THPers who won contests to get the trip of a lifetime set out to compete for Team THP in what is affectionately called #TheGrandaddy Of Em All. The trip was incredibly special and some called it “life changing” as these eight did battle on the course against Callaway Golf’s Zoo Crew (marketing team). When the final putt dropped on this special week, Team THP was on the short end of the stick and for an entire year has heard about the beating.
Fast forward a few weeks and the news was announced about the biggest rematch since Rocky Balboa got his 2nd chance against the villain Clubber Lang. #TheDos as it is being called will once again feature Team THP (known as the basement dwellers, since all those on the internet are doing so from their mother’s basement according to Jason Finley of Callaway Golf [said in jest]) taking on the Zoo Crew in a showdown of epic proportions.
The eight golfers that make up Team Basement Dweller were put together by contests held throughout the year and as of yesterday, the team is set in full. Join me in welcoming this group of THPers that are headed into battle against Team Zoo Crew led by captain Harry Arnett.

If you don�t know HHVM and you�re coding PHP, you�ve probably living under a rock for the last few years, but the point is, it�s blazing fast. As a matter of fact it�s so fast that at the moment the network latency on my blog is more of an issue than page rendering speed, and I haven�t even started to do any optimization.

I’m pulling for all of you Basement Dwellers of THP. I’d love to see the THP team bring home that trophy and have the bragging rights for a year.
