I thought he might have. If anyone wants to get a picture though I'd love to see it, just for my own amusement

Mark Crossfield, bald as a coot and loves the sound of his own voice.

Re: TaylorMade oportunity at Trump next week
Cracking day - and good to meet another couple of people from here.
Arrived about 3 and introduced ourselves to James who showed us where to register - then had a wander around the clubhouse area and range while we waited for everyone else to arrive - watched Rory McIlroy practicing his chipping and Jimmy Walker warming up on the range before going out to play.
There was an intro where David Livingston introduced everyone and Justin Rose, Stevie Gallagher, Johan Carlsson and Richie Ramsay talked about how using the SDLR has helped them - then we got to ask questions which was really interesting.
We were split into three groups and each of the players did a clinic - our group started with Justin on the first tee where he bombed drives and demonstrated how he can change the flight of the ball - he got a guy up to hit a few and cured the guys (slight) hook in seconds.
Next we went to watch Stevie demonstrate how he could hit a 16 degree driver pretty much as far as his 12 degree but with a different flight - Mark Crossfield got invited up to film a challenge against Stevie (had his hat on) but the star of this clinic was a 13 year old nine handicapper who absolutely hammered a 12 degree SDLR half a dozen times and got to keep the club.
Johan carries the mini driver in addition to his SDLR and he showed us how he hits both, he's got incredible power.
All three were absolute gents and took time to talk to anyone who approached them, as did Richie Ramsay who's injured but still stayed around to chat to everyone, I meet quite a lot of sportsmen and lots of them could learn how to deal with the public from these golfers - absolute gents.
Golf part finished with Justin, Johan and Stevie play the first hole the person with the best score winning his group a sleeve of balls - walking down the first fairway of Trump with three tour players was great and the wife and I went home with a sleeve of balls each - thanks Justin.
The players hung around for the barbeque, which was excellent, and after some of us did a little video interview we went back to the practice chipping area to watch Rory and Phil Mickelson hone their short game.
Thanks James for a cracking day - and I've changed my mind about Trump - I want to play there.

Cheers - the pic of Justin holing his putt to win me and the missus golf balls includes two forum members in the background - I think their usernames are Jungle and Valentino - I'm rubbish at linking names to forum identities.
Only disappointment was I thought I might get a free Loft Up baseball cap - I suppose I'll just have to buy one
Will be checking Trump facebook and website to see when they do special offers (I think I could handle the green tees) - incredible place - Justin Rose had been out for half a dozen holes in the morning and mentioned the par 3 sixth as a 'lovely hole'

Sums up my thoughts as well davidy :thup:
The pro's were excellent, Justin Rose was really nice to chat to and Stephen G has a great sense of humour. I had a chuckle to myself that virtually no-one was wearing a cap (myself included) obviously expecting a "Loft Up" freebie.
Also had a chat to Mark Crossfield going up the first and he came across very friendly and happy to chat away.
If I can get a deal I would certainly go back to Trump, the course looked fabulous.

Forgot to add that during the Q&A the TM Product Manager did state that the Loft Up technology was here to stay and is in the next generation of clubs

Re: TaylorMade oportunity at Trump next week
Massive thanks to James and the Taylormade team for not only putting on a great day but having me along. Was well looked after and it is a very rare treat to get that kind of access to some of Europes best players. Nike's Rory even made a bit of a cameo (maybe angling for a wee move)
Thought each and every one of those players represented the brand really, really well. It would be easy to be slightly cynical and say they are paid to do so but I felt there was a real genuine belief in the concept as the spoke about the technology.
As for the location, such a stunning setting. The big trump helicopter was on the front lawn and the man has a fantastic looking golf course to be proud of.
Again, well played everyone that was involved.

I am hearing rumours that Trump is now talking of building another course just along the road through another dune system.
Any of the sheeps up there heard anything?
