TaylorMade HQ Visit - This Friday (30th May)

[jimbob.someroo]

Hi all,

As some of you know, I recently starting working for TaylorMade down in Basingstoke. One thing I didn't realise before I started here is what goes on behind the scenes with regards the warehouse / Workshops etc. As such, on Friday we've got a couple of hours in which we are hoping to show people around that may be interested in knowing anything more about any TaylorMade products or the wider company as a whole.

There'll be the opportunity to have a look at the full range of products, ask technical questions to the fitting / product guys (not me!), see the Tour workshop, and generally have a nosey around.

If this is something of interest and you are available on Friday between 12-2, drop me a DM and I'll send you details. At such short notice I don't imagine that there will be 100's of people available, but we should have room to accommodate 4-6 so will do it on first come, first served

Jim

Jimbob, I work at Sony right opposite you. I'm sure I could spare a couple of hours at lunchtime! Maybe they could let me have a go with the SLDR mini while I'm there to see what the fuss is about.

Wow, that is close! Pop on over, even if just for an hour!

I've always wondered what goes on in there. PM sent

Typical GM again with a huge Southern bias, just because the HQ is in Basingstoke that seems to be a convenient enough excuse to make people have to travel 100s of miles 'down south' yet again.

Actually this is a cracking offer so well done sir, only wish I was closer as I would have jumped at it. And by the way, well done on working for a golf manufacturer.

Tell your bosses I've just invested in a SLDR mini driver and am looking forwards to seeing what it can do. Plus I have one of your putters, wouldn't swap it for anything. And I had some jetspeed irons as hire clubs in the US recently and they were great, so I'm severely tempted to invest in some of them. Don't suppose you an get me some staff discount

Well strictly speaking Jimbob emailed me direct, way before this was posted

now the backtracking starts... I agree Hawkeye, Brian has been "black balled"

 

[fundy]

BT clearly a serial forum user, though I do think he requires the initals to be GM

can I vote for blackballing too

 

[BTatHome]

I'm feeling bullied now
