It is that time again and the 2011 THP Golf Outing & Demo Day has officially come to an end. What a wonderful weekend that GG and I had seeing old friends and meeting new ones. This is the thread where our attendees can offer their thoughts up on the weekend as a whole. We will have other places for demo day reviews as well as pictures of course.

I will be back at some other point with my complete rundown, but I have to give some awards out while they are fresh in my mind.

The Rocky Award goes to Puttin4Bird. Playing a round of golf with my buddy Jake is truly worth the price of admission to the outing. We always have a great time and he has me laughing for the entire round. P4B quoted Rocky 4 for about half the round because apparently that is considered a new movie in Fargo.

The Choke Award goes to me. Granted I still won, I was -1 after 6 holes and then put up a quad bogey and looked like an internet golfer going through a swing change during it. Back and forth across the green from sand trap to sand trap en route to a blow up hole was just awesome.

The I'm Going To Be Sick Award goes to One-T. Drinking heavily, not sleeping and then playing your last 18 holes with virtually no warm up was both impressive and crazy. I tried to trade him to a squirrel for a player to be named later, but the squirrel balked. In the end, One-T pulled through despite lines like "I think I might throw up" and "Im really struggling out here" and we won our match.

The Least Like Their Forum Presence Award goes to Ole Gray. Once again he wins this one and I still don't know why I got to see no smileys the entire him. OG is near iconic at outings and one of the most fun people to be around. Plus his snakes put a curse on his love for a Cleveland driver apparently.

The 'Learned a Short Game Award goes to RBelbin. Uh Oh....That could be a scary combination.

The Ddec award goes to....Ddec of course. How many people could wish for miracle outing shot and in the end lay on the ground in the fetal position (or close to it) but still come out okay. (dont forget my advice nerfny).

The best service award goes to Wider of course. Once again Wider provided everybody with amazing service that could only be described as electrifying.

I have a bunch more to go up and some memories that must be shared, however I must pack now and get ready to start our journey today across the state and then up it as we head home.

Once again, GG and I are leaving an outing saying we have the most incredible members in the world and it was a pleasure seeing old friends and meeting new ones that we hope to have forever. You guys make these trips what they are and it is a pleasure hosting them for a group of people as wonderful as you. Thank you all that came out for helping to make this one incredible weekend for us.
