The greatest amateur event ever created!
The 2021 Grandaddy is here. 3+ days of action coming your way and this thread will serve as host for everything that takes place. If the participants see it (and can share it), it will be here. Watch and hear from them as they go through their fittings, tour Callaway HQ and meet everybody behind the brand.
Then it is off to the exclusive Hideaway in Palm Desert for 2 days of golf competition between the THP Forum members and the marketing team of Callaway Golf. Just because you are not there, does not mean you cannot be part of the action. Follow along to every single part of the 2021 Grandaddy of Em All, right here.

I would think so @Tevenor. Does that mean you should get two A15 tags?
You weren’t A0, you were playing the ball, so A1.
A14 to A15 for me even though my signature was 2 bags behind before I updated it last night! ?
Can’t yet. But there’s some good stuff coming. ?
A0 until April 21 when I was selected for the GD, then A1 for the ball. You are correct.
I guess you can say A3 now.
This is exciting!
Believe me, we want to talk about them
So much to talk about!!!
I love my Vessel, but I like bags in general so always interested in new bag stuff.
With your new electric caddy, you’re going to like this one a lot
It’s like an NFL jersey swap, only better
Haha, same for me in ’18.
So ready to hear about the bags. I need a new one this year…

Another one for the ladies here just for your poses at the end ?
I remember that shot. 250 4-wood down the middle. Royce decided to go 310 straight down the water to the left.
Oh My wife says its my best side. I am not sure if she is complimenting me or just wishing I would walk away.
Great pictures!
You are really going to like something new coming!
His partner must have had a swing to pretty to be captured on camera!
Check out the actual temp at 8 am tomorrow!!

Man that hits hard. I still haven’t read past the start of singles day I don’t want to Go through the end of the trip yet
Same. I can’t hit travel day yet. Not yet.
That was my first hole on day 1. Pouring rain, new clubs, and had to deal with clearing water. Thankfully, hit it well.

Full glass. Looks about 7-8 ice cubes. Definitely a more cloudy visual, likely due to citrus.
Certainly has traditional amber, while also getting notes of pink from the cranberry.
Having it in a CDA glass definitely gives bonus points.
Overall very solid presentation. Would love to hear how it tastes.
As it stands, this is a very solid El Flollo, certainly worthy of three finger waggles while saying Flollo.
In all honesty it looks like a hangover in a glass but was presently surprised. The cranberry cuts the lemonade nicely. The whiskey adds nice depth. Obviously super drinkable.
I might like a modified version using just lemon juice in the cranberry with a stronger bourbon or Tennessee whiskey to limit the overall sugar profile, but it’s a solid mix.
I’ve done similar.
A good way around it is to use the No Sugar Added ocean spray cranberry juice.
I have done it more like an Old Fashioned quite a few times.
Bourbon, splash of cran, and an ice ball (I have the invisiball from corkcicle), and I use some lemon juice and zest in the ball.
I will now dub that the El FlollOld Fashioned
I can say it does. Added some bitters to one the other day!
Aromatic bitters
I drank it….
Pretty sure that’s the response and expression I make everytime I find a new drink concoction I like
My friend @JPendleton is coming to pick them up for a road trip so he can test them out at his club.
