It's time...

 

 

Over a thousand GolfWRX Members applied to be part of an inside look at Callaway Golf. We really appreciate the amazing interest from the GolfWRX Community, but ultimately only 8 members could be selected to be part of this amazing once-in-a-lifetime experience. Here are the attendees (in alphabetical order):

• Brizam
  
• gregh729
  
• Hot Rod 71
  
• mackepa
  
• MtlJeff
  
• QMany
  
• Sean2
  
• Waterboy
  

They've kept the trip (mostly) quiet until now, but the time is here to post. All are excited for the experience.

 

We kick off officially 5PM Sunday night, Pacific Time with some night time at Ely Callaway Performance Center!

 

This is the first night event ever at ECPC, so it's going to be a blast.

 

More updates on Monday and Tuesday as we have a packed itinerary there as well.

 

They guys are chomping at the bit, so we're opening it up to posting and look forward to the community following along.

 

Enjoy!

So we have 2 lefties attending MtJeff and Hot Rod 71? Cool!

[HipCheck]

Yep! Callaway has been really gone out of their way to provide some lefty love here.

[gregh729]

We'll be nice to them even though they stand on the wrong side of the ball :taunt:

 

I play with several lefties and until recently, they did not have access to much of the new stuff. The fitting carts don't have much for the 'handers. Maybe that is why I change clubs like I change socks and they've been playing the same stuff for years.

[Sean2]

I too offer my sincere thanks to Callaway and GolfWRX for this wonderful opportunity. You could have knocked me over with a very small feather when I was asked if I wanted to go. This will be my first golf trip.

 

I started playing at 50 and am now 61. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would have an opportunity like this. I'm still a bit in a state of shock.

This post almost made me misty eyed, lmao

 

Started playing at 50, now 61 and your first golf trip. Genuine surprise and happiness.

 

Bro, the only thing that would make me happier than you goin on this friggin trip is if Maddie called me right now, told me that she was pregnant, we were having a Boi and she wants to name him RP Jacobs III, lol

 

Talk about never in my wildest dreams, LMAO

 

Seriously though, I'm happy that you're gonna get to hit the ball in December in warm sunny weather!!

Richard, thanks for your kind words!

 

I am a bit nervous about the trip. I don't mind the flying, it's airports I have a problem with.

 

Good luck with little Richard! :-)

[swizbeatz]

^^^ you will be fine, relax and enjoy your trip!

I take off tomorrow morning at 8am. Unfortunately we have a Christmas party tonight and my wife isn't looking forward to waking up, both hungover at 5am to get me to the airport at 6:30am.

 

I hope American Airlines can supply me with a Bloody Mary or two once in the air.

Man. I got more jelly everytime I check in on this thread.

I was actually listening as you typed this!

 

"We have the group from GolfWRX next week. Such a fun time of the year. We get to go out to Torrey Pines, scope out the redesign. The North is open now, so we will check that out, but I think we are playing the South. Ohhhhh, a little teaser. Beat down!!!"

[mackepa]

Just finished packing my final bag for our trip. Callaway asked us to bring the necessary items for golf except clubs and balls. I've got two rolls of lead tape in case I need to channel my inner Phil Mickelson, sunglasses, golf shoes, tees, ball marker, divot repair tool, rangefinder, our schedule of events and my MacBook and iPad so I can keep in touch with WRX at the end of every night.

Oh boyyy. I hope that doesn't mean I'm going to have a caddie I can disappoint!

That is a good question. It's not real lead so I guess I can?

I just threw up.

 

"Don't bring your clubs or balls", was the forewarning?

 

..... Very, very dizzy!

We shipped our driver and 6 iron to test against the new product. Other than that we weren't suppose to bring clubs.

[EaglesGolf99]

Stop.

Stop.

Stop.

Stop.

 

.... I don't need to know anymore.

[ChillyDipper]

This should be a lot of fun, not just for the Callaway experience but also to meet the other guys going. Being in Montreal I don't get to meet a ton of real life WRX guys.

 

As others have said thanks to golfwrx for the opportunity, and thanks to callaway for accommodating a Canadian (not always eligible for stuff) a lefty (not always eligible for stuff) and some other generous stuff too with travel

 

Look forward to updating you guys

 

^^ bolded part can be a major.. or I should say, major, wildcard :tongue:

 

Well out of the 8 of us I can't yet identify the inevitable weird guy that everyone will secretly not like

 

Oh crap. I think I heard a saying about that once

 

Just make sure you say "sorry" enough to keep the auspice of polite behaviour safe for the likes of me, a fellow, lefty Canadian living down here in the US of A.
