Still waiting peeps?

you remember that feeling Scott? think there was over 350 for the one you were chosen for (Paul told me fig but might have forgotten exact fig).

The one I really was keen on was the Ping PYB challenge, superb concept but seems to have died 1st year unfortunately

Did the announcement not get delayed for some reason and I think originally it was 2 groups, one for a driver and one for shoes then it all melded into one and added irons. Think that must be the most popular one to date.

Sorry about that. I am waiting on confirmation of the date so there is a chance that it will have been filled and I need to pick another one. had to start somewhere though.

yes, it was Driver or shoes you had to choose. That was delayed due to TM manufacturing demand issue I believe, then there was another change so I believe GM and TM agreed to make it one combined fitting for
Driver
Fairway Wood
Hybrid
Irons
Adizero shoes
Lethal Balls

I still cant believe they didnt have the decency or courtesy to provide a bag to put it all in :whistle: :swing:

I'm hearing the same now!! The question is will the 4 be announced on this thread or will a new one be created?

I would have thought the 4 will have been notified already though as they will surely need to confirm before Mike et al make the names public??

No-one said names will be made public at 3. It says those selected will be informed at 3. It's 1 minute past 3 I haven't got the email so it's not me. :-(
