    Hi guys,

    So this is my first post on here, and it wouldnt have been made without this guy: Xanthorpe.

    So here's the deal. Silly me played a game with 2 legends and a master (and im just a tour pro tier). Xanthorpe was my p, and he said something in the lines of "you could use a shiny new driver p" to which i replied, in short, im a student, have no money etc. ANYWAY, end of the game, and i receive a message saying that this guy just gave me a taylor made M2 driver, JUST FOR THAT ONE REMARK!

    Now i dont know about you but to me it sounds like a really good guy. To his gift, he also appended a message saying something along the lines of "hey man, you asked if people really give away drivers for christmas in july, so the answer is yes! here you go! I have spent all my money on this gift but you need it so its yours!" end quote..

    So if i had money, or a credit card for that matter, i would retaliate with a bunch of balls or something to this guy. Since i dont, i decided to share this little story in good spirit, and if anyone doesnt know what to do with a few balls or is in a giveaway mood, i say ship it in Xanthorpe's way, he most certainly deserves it for being an awesome dude.

    Im not sure if this is even inside the guidelines of this forum, but hey, i wanted to try and somehow repay this guy, if nothing than at least boost his street cred around here ;)

    Anyway, enjoy your day everyone, see you on the courses! :)

    To Xanthorpe,

    It's gestures like yours and the friends I have that keep me from abandoning this game all together...well played.

    I agree with Scott.  Folks here are either the Good, the Bad and/or the Ugly.   lol.

    A sleeve goes out to X.

    Welcome to the forum and thank you for sharing that 'feel good' story with us.

    Your idea is working already, I see Xanthorpe has been gifted a sleeve of balls!

    This kind of thing is one of the main reasons I still love WGT after 6+ years.
