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

Ballyhack Golf Club

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.

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.

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.
He’s like a gremlin, feeding him rum will only make him a more frightening opponent
Just trying to add to the entertainment value!! Not that is is needed, this will be fantastic as is, but seeing @Canadan rummed up would be fun!
I accept.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Dormie Network runs things differently then your typical stay and play facility. You are NOT allowed to bring any outside food or beverages into the cottages. They are very strict about this, and if you are caught, they can revoke our membership.
With that said, the rooms are fully stocked with food and drinks, but please keep in mind anything you take from the room is being charged to THP. We want you guys to have the best experience possible, but we ask if you plan to do a lot of drinking, please go to the clubhouse bar and either drink there or purchase a 6 pack of beer or whatever your alcoholic drink of choice is and bring it back to the room.
Not terrible if you keep it protein heavy, but the carbs are going to get me.
This sounds so amazing!!!! So excited to follow along!!
Need plenty of carbs to get through 54 holes in 2 days
BBQ and Steak FTW.
You mean sacrificial pig? It’s ok, Canadians don’t even know how to properly make bacon. You’ll be fine.
Agreed that is what I am telling myself.
To be fair, Tudor also works for Callaway and will be the enemy come December, on the team or not.
Well this is my new favorite thing.
Tried to do the lamb/goat thing but that works too.
I understood what you were going for, but your Avatar kind of throws us off.
@AT_CG isn’t my enemy, he’s my spirit animal.
now that it’s stuck in my head, Dan kinda looks like Timon already.
This is me every time someone tags me with a picture of their ball in a divot..

Me agreeing with you
It’s all coming together. Now we know why the singles match happened!
FWIW, I’m big time on the struggle bus with my game. Playing well worse than my handicap at the moment. But, the way I see it, it just means I’m due.
Struggle Bus is noted.
Honestly dude…I think you’ll be just fine.
what’s the worst that could happen? You play like garbage but still have an amazing time with awesome people? You can’t lose here
Show me how it’s done, because that is likely the way I’m rolling into Ballyhack next month.
My game is a struggle too so its a trend

This thread is chock full of goodness. The @Canadan rum gremlin mental image is priceless, and @pumbaa is hilarious. Then throw in @BuckNasty… might be my favorite handle on THP because I share the name in real life.
Looking forward to this one for sure.
You can stop at any time.
Your real name is Buck Nasty? Who are your parents? ?
No sir. This is freakin fun.
Had a lot of catching up to do in this thread and I’ll be traveling Monday athrough Wednesday of next week…but I will find time to follow along live with this one!
By the way…Go Team Tudor!!!
incredible ???
I’m eagerly waiting for this. I just hope it’s a goat golfing. This whole thing makes me happy.
It is
Your singles match is absolutely giving me fits. I need it to be a tie.
If I tie Dan that is a win in my book.
There is no being torn it is Team Tudor for the win! ???
Is there a team trophy and individual trophies for the winners?
The entire team will get what we will be showing off on WGP
