Yes.
On course a collared shirt and golf shorts/pants must be worn. I do not believe they allow cargo shorts, but can check if you would like.
In dining room, hats should be removed.
[/QUOTE]
Thanks. No need to check for cargo shorts. Mine went away a few years ago. I think. If not, I won’t wear them outside my house.
We will be discussing this event again on WGP this week and I am excited to share.
Im also excited to get back into that pro shop for some shopping.
You mean this pro shop???

I have gone fairly nuts in there the last few trips, and realize the stuff isn’t cheap. But I like to remember these trips.
Definitely in for a number of items
Oh man, the stuff that dreams are made of!!!
Will there be any stakes for the rounds? Any “pops”?

Not a competition on this one but people can certainly do that in their foursome
I just spoke to DB at Project X.
We are ready. Lots of twists and turns, but when we get there it will be perfection.
I’m confident that when you have the Director of Metal and the person that runs their test robot as a fitter, you are in the best hands possible. Because we are THPers so all robots.
You will have no idea what you are testing. The creator of these shafts is confident he chose wisely. At conclusion of your fitting, that shaft is yours to take and it’s awesome you get to put it right into play. So in theory you will get two shafts, because the custom THP one will come after.
Get ready boys, this is going to be fucking awesome

No way! WHAT!!! 2 shafts? AWW YEAH! Holy Toledo this doesn’t make sense. I don’t have this kind of thing happen to me.

Competition? I know y’all like stuff like that but I’m a shrinking violet when it comes to that. Plus I don’t know what I’m doing when it comes to the games. Pops? Whazzat? Ain’t that a breakfast cereal?:ROFLMAO: Shamble? Isn’t that a dance for Myrtle Beach done to Shag music? And Bingo Bango Bongo and Calcutta? Not a clue.:ROFLMAO:

[USER=3]@JB[/USER] …quick question on the shaft fitting logistics. After the fitting, we will be able to put the new shaft in play for the dormie club rounds? And I presume we will then return the shaft to Scott and Chad after the golf for customizing at a later date?

Already mentally preparing myself for what the damage may be when I get there and that is just based on what I can see in the pics and vids. The kids may have to miss a few meals after I get back.

How many first timers in this one?

Can you guys ask for me this… When they are developing a product are they trying to improve upon something that’s successful, or are they trying to fill in a void within their product line? To whichever direction they go, are they more so motivated by the guys on tour or just see a new profile that can be added or a shaft that can be improved?
the approach to these fittings is so perfect…my envy keeps growing!

I got you bro ?
I think it would be really cool just to keep a solid black shaft in play without any graphics. Matte black would be a bonus

This is going to be so good! I love the blacked out shaft testing component! Very curious to see if folks are fit into the shaft they think they’d be.
Participants – are you going to put the custom THP shaft into play, or will it be a wall hanger?

Definitely will be playing mine. I believe JB mentioned that we would be keeping the fitting version as well as the custom THP version. Part of me will want to preserve the custom shaft so it won’t be damaged but I will play it because it will be a cool reminder of this awesome experience. And I want to proudly show it off to whomever I’m playing with.

I haven’t played golf in two weeks. Not because I don’t want to, but because life can S a D sometimes. I did hit the range last week which was fun, and the swing seemed solid.
Tomorrow I shall range, and I believe every day from then until Wednesday I have golf on the schedule. That’s FeelsGoodMan vibes for sure.

I was talking to my girl about this on my way home from work… Part of me wants it to be a wall hanger. It’s special, one of a kind or 1 of 4.. Limited edition.
And the other part of me that says “golf stuff is a tool meant to be used” and the shaft is customized to enjoy and be used.
And then, there’s that other part… the fringe. The part that says… 3 shafts. 2 not in use… and you want a Paradym…
I think I’ll play it. It’s meant to be enjoyed and used.

I completely understand that feeling. I waffled back and forth for months with mine. In the end, I came to the same conclusion and put it in the bag. Gives me a smile every single time I see it.
