[USER=2320]@Canadan[/USER] were you as surprised as I was that he is in the CSX LS?

I’ve never played with him so I’m unsure. I was more rattled that I didn’t guess right hahahaha
I’m a chrome soft **** but [USER=3]@JB[/USER] thinks I should spend more time with LS.

Based on the tech studio data, it was longer with similar spin for you. It was darn rock solid.
I truly enjoyed this podcast this morning. [USER=19461]@JasonFinleyCG[/USER] did a great job of teeing up The Granddaddy event and not giving in to [USER=2320]@Canadan[/USER] in his asking the same questions 17,000 different ways to get him to slip up and spill the beans. Thanks [USER=2320]@Canadan[/USER] for giving it the “ole college try” this morning on Finley….. I REALLY REALLY enjoyed this one!
[USER=19461]@JasonFinleyCG[/USER] only a true trash talker and game wrecker would show up to the Granddaddy event with a pink ball in tow. Do you accept the challenge, or will you accept your defeat?!
How many pops would it take for you to play a completely foreign ball during a grandaddy match?

As the ball guy at Callaway Golf, I would think he would want to base his ball on performance. 🙂

I don’t think they are going to be able to “stop the presses” with the current demand to have a single ball or two made. 🙂
But if someone could, it would be Jason I would assume.
I think Finley could win with a pink ball.. the question is, would he..

Just finished listening to this one. [USER=19461]@JasonFinleyCG[/USER] is great as always and brought the teasers.
My favorite part was at the end talking about the sizes needed for our THP guys. “Given the broad range of size spectrum needed for this group, we had to find something that was available”
lol

Finley going stock off the rack and proclaiming himself not an Internet Golfer caught me off guard. I’m not sure why, but I expected him to be in fully custom equipment. #TeamFringeLunatics
Listening now!
Great episode and [USER=19461]@JasonFinleyCG[/USER] never disappoints…. I noticed, however [USER=2320]@Canadan[/USER] didn’t go in depth into the year THP won. I realize the belt might be getting a bit stuffy in your office [USER=19461]@JasonFinleyCG[/USER] … I might suggest Febreeze once in a while?

I’ve been told repeatedly I’m not invited back hahahaha
I’d hop on a plane in a heartbeat to walk around the hideaway and hang at ECPC again though. Off course on location let’s go!!!
[USER=2320]@Canadan[/USER] great job today. You tried your best to get some insider info. Golf clap. I will give a mallet its fair chance. If the mallet wins, then I will be rolling a mallet.
Great episode!! Looking forward to Grandaddy week. Finley was great, as usual.
Really really good Off Course! Loved the give and take. Well done!

Just block off next week during the day, because the live update thread is so much fun :ROFLMAO:

Ugg that’s going to be tough… but I’m sure I’ll have some “important” work to do that will require the door to be closed part of the days!
I finally had a chance to listen to this. Having had the pleasure of playing two rounds with Finley last month, I really enjoyed listening to him in this episode. And to be honest, I had a huge grin when the subject of his 10 came up. Because I witnessed that.
Having the personal connection with Jason made this a special episode for me. I feel extremely privileged as a forum member to have had the opportunity to meet him, to play golf with him and to be his partner in a THP event.
Props to Dan looking for leaks. Didn’t budge ?

[QUOTE=”oumagic, post: 10275437, member: 52535″]
I love Finley and normally would not bet against him, but having seen Matt play, I would bet the house on captain THP this year in singles match. And by “the house” that is not literal; I would bet a dozen Chromesoft and call that “the house”
PM me if you want to bet a dozen against Matty. First one that asks: I am not betting a truckload of CS against Finley.

I think. you should. – that is like a double win for me. I win and I get the Market Share and Revenue benefit!

Yeah, I will go ahead and stick to what we have been doing, seems to be working. No special items needed just to prove a point.

Kind of what I was thinking 😉
I win: new dozen of Chrome Soft
They win: they get a dozen of whatever Callaway ball they want and I probably by another dozen of CS while I am at it.
no one has taken me up on the bet yet.
Always great stuff with Finley
