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

Should have done special GOAT truvis for this one
GOAT Cup polo?
Despite there being a couple high caps in this one, not sure we would lose enough balls to warrant a one-off truvis batch haha
I am sure I will lose a dozen easy ?
If this has staying power and that is solely on the THPers involved and those following along, that could be fun in the future.
I wouldn’t use them. Callaway Supersoft hurt the wallet and morale a lot less
Those look soooo good!!!
But you’re going to sure have fun while saying things under your breath.
Seeing it on swag makes it even better than it already was!!
So for the second round we are doing alternate shot. I assume @JB that one guy tees off on the odd holes and one guy tees off on the even holes. Note to self-all the par threes are odd holes. Par fives split up 2 odd and 2 even.
That is correct
Puumba— sucks we are on opposing teams because i can tell how well we will get along

Its a handicapped event. There is no lamb, everybody is even.
I know, trying to get in his head. Get him to take it easy for an easy dub, but then my pops come into play and next thing you know its a match.
That logo is fantastic..???
Stop it.
Word on the street is he’s having a few struggles. ?
You got this.
By street do you mean the Off Course podcast? He documents it haha.
I have a feeling he is going to enjoy this golf course though.

I’ve got five more range sessions scheduled.
We’re fine. It’s fine.
Haha well I didn’t say it was a secret.
I have a feeling everyone is going to enjoy the golf course!
By the way. How’d the lessons go? Game in good shape?
Just want to make sure I’m supporting the right team here
The fact you even have to decide which team to root for hurts.
It went okay. If I am being honest, he basically said I am a mess on the takeaway, which I ahve known for a while and its something @Canadan and I have discussed in the past during our last round. When I take it away too far inside, obviously fighting over the top, which leads to a pull for me. If I take it away correctly, my balance and weight shift gets extremely off to the point where I am all sorts of messed up.
He gave me some drills to work on, but time is not really allowing for that, but I will get a few swings in before we tee off.
Or…
maybe I am aggressively posturing and it’s pure joy right now..
Well the decision was already made. Just checking the injury report last minute
I can relate.
So if it’s not comfortable, do you just default back to comfortable for the GOAT cup?
I know you’ll probably say otherwise, but you’ve been playing decent by all accounts.
Well, you ARE an evil genius.
This one will be fun. I think my money is still on my boy @pumbaa here.
I try not to, no. I understand that some points in the game will suffer, but moving forward is pretty important. With that said, it is still very uncomfortable and the swing has gone from folding lawn chair to some sort of unicycle riding over a flaming table of tacks, but its getting there.
I come over the top pretty bad, so my lesson focused on trying to keep a solid path and take away. if i do it correctly per the lesson i hit a nice shot, if not its pretty ugly,
I’ll bookmark this for December.
Ouch.
OK. Maybe I deserved that.
You don’t mean that.
Well revisit in December.

You got this bro. I believe in you. Worst case, just keep feeding him rum drinks. ?
