I like not having reps around when I am hitting their clubs. If I didn't like them, I would feel bad about hitting a few and then pitching the club back in the bag. If the rep talked to me and I felt pressured about anything, I would want to hit him like I did the Vector Launch Monitor.

I hope its still in the near vicinity, then I'd still be able to go. We'll see

I agree with you Seth. It was a great, pressure-free demo and I think reps would have ruined that. I do like the idea of clinics/group lessons.

For sure. Which is likely the reason they weren't there this time. Most companies sent items even with the no-reps policy.

That was the biggest struggle that we had was explaining to companies that they couldn't have reps there. That was a rule we felt very strongly about and if we do this again and have a demo day there will be no reps. It does take the pressure off and makes the demoing more enjoyable. JB has enough knowledge about all the clubs to be a rep for every company just as TC.

1. I would love to come to the next one. As a guy who doesn't get around too much this would be an excellent opportunity to get out and see the world a bit more, and have a lot of fun doing it.

2. I would be fairly flexible in this regard. Seeing as I (and maybe the wife to be) would have to come from Edmonton (about 2400 miles away) we would have to stay for a bit to make the trip more worth our while. I would say 2-3 days of golf would be awesome. Although I'd probably be up for more!

3. Don't have any kids, so that's not a problem. Like I said before, the wife may want to come. She's brand new to the game this year. So she may not feel 100% comfortable with it. You never know though.

4. I'm not overly familiar with Florida, so I would have to say that I have not a lot of preference. I'm open to suggestions from others!

5. I would have to say that free for all seems like it would be the most fun. Not a lot of pressure that way.

6. Fall is my favorite time of year. Golf season closes for me usually by the end of September. So I would have to say that October seems like a good time.

If I think of anything else, I'll be sure to get it on here. Thanks JB and GG!

As great as coming to a THP outing sounds, we're a golfing family of three, and it seems doubtful there would be other children there for my Daughter to play golf with. She would be 13. As a threesome it would be difficult for me to split us up as a group without some other kids there, or other women for that matter, and for me to come and just play with the family for all rounds of golf would defeat the purpose. If I knew there were going to be other junior players I could consider it, otherwise it would most likely be a no go for me. We only have so many golf trips available in the budget, and I doubt I would use one just for myself as our golf spending is now about my Daughter and not me.

And apparently Diane doesn't want to spend a vacation with other people's children.

1. After coming to or reading about the 1st THP FL Golf outing, are you more or less likely to come to the next one? Does a forum member drink too much and then repaint the rental car door? Hell yes!

2. Do you prefer a short weekend outing or prefer it to be an extended stay (3-4 days or more)? Id like to stay 3-4 days but most likely a short weekend would be all I could do.

3. If you have a family and children, what could we do to get them all involved and bring the entire group? Do I have to bring them?

4. Outside of rounds of golf, what do you want to see there? Im going to follow Setho around..

5. Demo Day...Do you prefer free for all like it was, or would you prefer something more organized and educational. I actually prefer the freedom to hit what I want as I want how I want. That was a lot of fun for me. And a big HUGE no to reps.

6. Assuming it will be in FL, what time of year would you like it done? Prefer not too hot and sunny, so spring and fall sound great.

I like the contest idea even though I know we were talking about staying away from skills but I still think that would be fun. Everyone can putt. Not everyone is a long driver but putting is pretty easy to set up and everyone can do it. Par 3 course sounds like a blast too. Really anything with a great group of people is fun and what I enjoy!

I debated putting an exception in for Miss Esox, but thought the others wouldn't want to be beaten that badly by a 13 year old.

haha. You're going to follow me around as I follow butterflys around or get distracted by anything shiny.
