A brand new THP Experience is upon us and this is called the Goat Cup with Callaway Golf. The naming is twofold, first being that the location features goats on the premises and the other being that Jason Finley from Callaway Golf is considered by many on the THP Forum, the GOAT of trash talk to THPers.
When & Where
August 14th-16th, 2022
Ballyhack Golf Club
Roanoke, VA
Details
This incredible few days will have 8 golfers participating in a two team event vying for the first ever Goat Cup sponsored by Callaway Golf. 4 of those participants are decided already with Jason Finley from Callaway Golf, myself, Off Course Podcast host Dan Edwards and Austin Tudor from Callaway Golf.

Ballyhack Golf Club
The all private facility is ready to host the first ever Goat Cup
Dramatic elevation changes of 50 – 70 feet are just part of the challenge of this visually stunning locale. A shot-maker’s course, Ballyhack features 150-yard fairways, gouged-out bunkers, and rugged terrain. Don’t forget to greet the family of African Boer goats, who live near the 14th green.

Signups will be taking place Thursday July 7th on the THP Forum and will involve sending a simple email. From there, we will randomly draw who will be joining us and the rest is history. This is one THP Experience that is going to be some of the most fun you will ever have at a golf course, between the beautiful private facility, cottages and amazing hosts in Callaway Golf.
pops are never a bad thing haha
true true
But they made him a new one
And I’m strangely excited to see these goats. Just hoping I keep my ball away from them…
You and me both! ??
Then I won entry into the GOAT Cup, which obviously made me ecstatic but also nervous as hell because I LITERALLY COULDNT HIT THE BALL. I took a few lessons, kept hitting balls…
just last week I finally made a turn in the right direction. Do I still shank the ball? Yep, and more than a few times per round — but it’s not EVERY shot like it had been. Instead, now I’ve been sapped of my distance — about 20 yards less on every club — and have developed a wicked slice. But that’s one I’ll try to fix after GOAT Cup…
My final tuneup for the competition (I prefer to say “excursion”): played in a scramble yesterday, playing a round of golf Monday, and either one last round or a range session next Friday. And then it’s go time!
I have a lesson today. We will see if he can help get my slice under control.
If so, take notes and share them with me next week! Good luck ??
I’m so glad you said pork roll instead of Taylor ham ?
I may have to go all in on your team to win now.
Sounds like you guys have had solid preparation so far.
I am a man of the people and shall represent you well: you get to choose my first drink on the course.
I’m honored. Tito’s with your preferred mix

One more lesson lined up for Thursday and then it’s Goat Cup time!
Whoa! 20 yard gain from one lesson?! I’m glad you’re on my team! #TeamTudor
BOOM! That’s awesome yo! Glad to hear that. Get it bro!!
That’s phenomenal!! Good stuff.
love seeing you guys getting stuff worked out. This is going to be so much fun to follow!
We can’t both come with a draw now ?
I’ll have to practice quite a bit to make it stick haha swing shifts like this take some time to become habit
Same
That’s some serious changes!! Awesome to see.
Now the hard part is to translate those changes in some sort of permanent fashion haha
Pork roll? I may have to revisit my allegiance for this event.

This might need it’s own thread…
This will be a great follow!
Better get those new yardages dialed in
Will the pairings change in the PM on Day One or will the same groups play each other in both Shamble & Alt Shot?
We will have that info out soon.
