GG and I have picked up Ellie and made our way back to THP HQ. Just reading some of the recaps make me miss the weekend already. However don't worry everybody, there are hundreds of pictures from people at the outing that we will put up (as will they) when we get the picture thread going tomorrow. I have some more feedback I want to share from the weekend if I can.

Thursday we arrived at the resort and a special thank you goes out to the Calloway clan and the P4B clan as we had a nice little 3 minivan caravan headed driving from Windermere to PGA National and this could not have been done without them. Between loading and unloading equipment and assisting us with setting up, these two deserve a ton of thanks.

Thursday night we had a nice evening at iBar with everybody. Seeing old faces from last year and meeting new faces from this year. What a great night to kick off the THP Outing and get everybody ready for the rest of the trip.

Friday was a long day. Thank yous go out to Hawk, Hanks, P4B, TC and GG for setting up the demo day. They did an incredible job of helping everybody while I worked the launch monitor for people. I enjoyed working with each person and with the help of our staff assist them in getting some great launch numbers that hopefully help them decide what works best.
The driver contest was awesome. 65 yards or so to hit a staff bag with everybody cheering was so much fun. TC and I almost getting peppered by a few was pretty funny.
The wedge contest was a blast. RBelbin winning it was both ironic and funny.
Spank's friend won the custom Never Compromise putter which might now be affectionately known as the Tire contest forever.
By the end of the day Friday, I was dead to the world, but had time to shower and change and get ready for the THP Banquet Dinner.
I want to give a shout out to PGA National here for putting together an incredible meal for everybody. The food was fabulous and even better was the company. Then came contest time! We saw laughs, cries, hugs, and even some heckling as lucky participants got a chance to spin the THP wheel of destiny.

Saturday round I played with Hanks, P4B and Hawk in our equipment tester challenge. Needless to say the two of them are still dealing with their wounds from that complete devastation they took at the hands of us. Poor P4B...Somewhere for the first 4 holes, he actually thought they had a chance. Somewhere on the Squire, you can still see the chalk line outline of Hanks' body.

Saturday night was an interesting night to say the least. Lots of drinks flowing and a great time hanging out with everybody. A shout out to Wider for making OEM Kevin's dream come true to be served by him again.

Sunday I had a chance to play with Chunkylover, RxGus, One-T and myself. What an awesome time on the Champ. Chunkylover might be my favorite keebler elf of all....hehe. Apparently the lady at the Bear Trap liked him too...hehe. What a great round and the course was in awesome shape. It was closer than it should have been, but One-T and myself came away with the victory....Just remember "good good" right CL? hehe

Sunday night was a nice evening to unwind and chat with those still around at iBar.

Some more awards that need to be giving out.

The Vanilla Ice Award - TC...Dude has ice water in his veins (along with lots of Miller Lite) as he drains the big putt.
The Steve Stricker Award - Chunkylover....Guy gets boring just hitting fairways and greens all day long.
The I am going to kill JB award - Mrs. Golf4Life for me showing Golf4Life his new favorite driver...Of course it was the Williams and a hefty price tag.
The best dessert Ever Award - Yoccos for ordering one that does not exist and waiting for it while it was never coming.
Best Drive of the Weekend - Definitely agree with TC. It was Hawk and his 26 yard dead left into a balcony.
Best pitch out from the OB Stake - P4B....He got to do it 3 times in succession.
Best Topped Ball Award - Pale Hundy. Nobody with a swing that perfect should top 5 balls a round.
Tweet You Very Much Award - I don't even have to give out the winner here.

So many incredible memories capped off with some amazing prizes including one given to me by the wonderful folks in attendance that was the TaylorMade Season Opener Staff Bag. Gorgeous. Pale Hundy giving out a gift that was a tribute to himself (that was classic). GG and TC getting all emotional on us. I could sit and write for days about how many great people were in attendance and how they made this weekend truly one to remember.

As we said at the THP Banquet Dinner....We do these for the people here and seeing so many smiles this weekend makes us excited to get to finalizing and announcing 2012 pretty darn soon.
