DISCLAIMER:
All information is believed to be true and correct at the time of publication and we have made every effort possible to verify it. But due to circumstances beyond our control all times, speakers and sponsors are subject to change without notice. We will make every effort to publish any changes as soon as we are aware of them but cannot make any guarantees.
Tuesday
Early arrivals will be treated once again to Bill Marshall’s Supper. Bill puts on one heck of a feast for everyone here, usually at the 12th Street Deli. Bill’s Jambalaya is the main dish with more and more members now chipping in with covered dishes of their own. Last year the host brought in some BBQ or Pulled Pork and other side dishes are available. Beverages are usually plentiful and many members bring their own favorite beverage as well as several sponsors contributing some fine refreshments. All in all it’s a great festive atmosphere and members enjoy the camaraderie and fellowship as well as the food and drink. We had a huge crowd on hand for RT6 and look forward to seeing you all again.
Wednesday
DEMO DAY 9 AM until about 1PM or later depending on the weather. All of the AGCP Sponsors will be on the range again as they were last year. This proved to be a very popular event at RT5 and RT6 and we’ve included it again for RT7. Mix and mingle with the manufacturers and hit their heads, shafts, clubs and other products on the range. Same for the grips and other products you can see and feel in a live environment. Special events if there are any will be announced later.
1:30 PM til 5 PM –AGCP Master of Golf Club Technology Keith Chatham - location Room 103
How to build clubs to Frequency Match and Moi Match at the same time. The 18 steps that Dana uses and the 5 steps Keith added. This class will be repeated again on Saturday and will be a hands on class and learning experience. Each class will be limited to first 20 that sign up for each day.This class will be limited so Keith can break the class up into multiple groups and participants can go through the frequency matching/MOI and Keith will have ample time to do one on one instruction with each member of the class.
