Why did I just break out in a smile and start sweating at the same time? ? The Dream Foursomes Experience will soon be upon us.

Can’t wait man!
Congrats team 1!
Got caught up on my lunch break and team 2 made the last few holes interesting.
Ben Hogan and THP really know how to put on an experience!
I recall earlier this year JB saying 2021 was going to be a year for the books. It sure has been and we have two months and a few more events to go!

Well I’m tired but not entirely wiped out like I was yesterday. So so so grateful I was able to get out today! I hit some great shots with the clubs, but also glad that many of them didn’t count towards the match! 🙂
Here’s to hoping that I’ll still have some fair weather back home to play when I’m back to full strength and can report on the clubs.
Thanks everyone for the well wishes! Appreciate all the forum love.

Glad you were able to get out there and enjoy a little golf!

My calm and nerves went from zero….to 1st tee at Augusta type levels when she threw that question at me. Lol.
Wasn’t remotely expecting the gotcha there! Give myself a solid C- on the response.

Doggone west vs. east time zone differences, by the time I get caught up it’s all done! Congrats to Team 1 on the win, but congrats to all the participants for being part of such a great event! Thanks for bringing us along for the fun and letting us see some great golf out there. Big thanks to Ben Hogan Golf, and to [USER=68213]@Hallie_BHG[/USER] for the photo and video coverage, that was awesome! [USER=54426]@bray840[/USER], glad to see you were able to make it out today and swing the clubs! [USER=3]@JB[/USER], thanks for all you do and I’m sure you’re ready for a well-deserved vacation from all these “vacations”! :LOL:

:ROFLMAO: Was wondering if I was the only one only seeing the red lines.

All of us using dark mode are seeing it that way. If you switch to “Daytime Golfing” (light) mode, those red lines are suddenly part of the Ben Hogan golf logo, but in dark mode all we see are the red lines.

Congrats team #1, it was a fun read. Some great golf played and the course looked fantastic. The Hogan gear looks great and it sounds like it performs as good as it looks. I have yet to see a modern set of Hogan irons up here in Canada.
I do have another place added to my bucket list of courses I want to play now.
