i can't really add anything that's already been said by the fellas above. this opportunity was fantastic. i only wish that i could've played with all of you guys, and i think that i will one day. i'm flat nackered and will be adding some of my thoughts/impressions in the upcoming days.

JB, GG, and Ellie were the best hosts imaginable. honestly, meeting JB had me a bit intimidated (c'mon, you know you would be too, afterall, he's the big man on campus here) but he was open to answering all of my stupid questions and was like a mad man running around the range, swapping out shafts, explaining features and benefits of everything. the guy simply loves this game, the equipment and especially the fashion side of it. his closet is bigger than the picture does justice!!!!

GG is the sweetest person you'll ever meet. she greeted everyone with a warm smile, had hot coffee and fresh bagels waiting for us, and was just a pleasure to talk to.

all the manufacturers that participated in the demo day are all champions in my eyes. it was the coolest thing being able to see all the guys just grab and hit. it's the closest thing i'll ever experience to being on tour, haha!!

i was only able to play on saturday and i played with biggsy and chuck. those two have game ya'll and were a blast to play a round of golf with. we had our ups and downs but what was the best was that we were all rooting for each other. i predict that biggsy purchases the burner superfast any day now (no joke, the guy was driving the ball 300+ easy), chuck buys the VR driver b/c he's up the gut all day, and that kevin will buy whatever comes out next (sorry buddy, couldn't help it)

i spent some late nights with thanks1974, kevin, spank818, and setho, and i would share many more with them in the future. i learned a lot about all of these guys and all of them are freakin' hilarious. i could say so much more but it'll all be revealed soon enough.

keith, you're hilarious man, and thanks for clearing up the mfgp thing for me, osahar might know more about golf equipment than anyone i know, adwillingham is one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. i enjoyed talking about parenthood and the masters with you and i look forward to teeing it up in georgia with you one day. hawk, you're just a flat out riot bro. you and your wife are both great people and hopefully we'll share a beverage together again soon. smalls, it was an absolute pleasure meeting you. you're a legend here and i enjoyed talking about sports and all those fabulous meals you eat. sunday_hacker and the boys, you guys just rock!! i don't know anyone who might have a better time on the course than you guys.

thanks again to everyone for shaking my hand, sharing a laugh, i can't wait to do it again. i'm tired!!!!
