Official THP 2011 Golf Outing & Demo Day - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

**zzquo0iR** · 08-10-2010, 11:01 PM

THP is pleased to announce that the 2nd Annual THP Golf Outing & Demo Day is now official. We have partnered again with what we consider to be one of the finest golf resorts in the world and that is PGA National Resort & Spa in Palm Beach Gardens, FL to host this great event. Before making this decision, THP worked with 2 dozen resorts about hosting this event and when it came down to it, no place could come close to touching PGA National Resort & Spa in terms of price for those coming and amenities offered for our wants and needs. Many of our readers got to experience this wonderful resort at the 1st outing, and we are pleased to be able to announce that our 2nd Annual THP Golf Outing & Demo Day is being held there again.

PGA National Resort & Spa (www.pgaresort.com) has been recognized by numerous golf publications as one of the top resorts in the U.S. and is the only resort to host a Ryder Cup, PGA Championship, and a regular stop on the PGA TOUR (The Honda Classic).

We felt as though our 2010 Golf Outing & Demo Day was a huge success and one of the reasons for that was the incredible partner we had in this extravagant resort. If you were not able to attend the first outing, you can live through that experience in these threads about the conclusion of that trip.

Nope, the earlier we get good head counts, the earlier we will announce some special things coming to this one in the form of contests.

**#[SoftAzerZx]** · 08-10-2010, 11:14 PM

I think this is an excellent choice and will be every bit as great as the last one. I can't wait for another round on the champions hopefully minus some wind. It was one of if not the nicest golf course I've been to and look forward to another round. And I love the schedule and demo day set up. Sounds epic!
