That's just it, it doesn't prove that I sent it in. It only proves that I got a form and at some point filled it out. I already know I'm screwed. I guess I just have to suck it up a deal with it.....

I did send all of the contact info, that's when I got the canned reply above. Golfsmith took out insurance for this so its not costing them much at all. Just annoyed I amay be one who gets screwed by a lost entry and no way for confirmation. It always seems to happen to me......

Now I don't carry a thorwing club but I also play tennis and do carry a throwdown racquet. It's quite out of shape now.... Never even thought of that for Golf. I guess the 14-club rule may need a little bending for this.

Who else called the putt on 18. I was watching with my wife who was routing for Rory to choke and Phil to take the tournament. I said "Watch - he's gonna drain it" and he did. Shut my wife right up. Precious......

May not be that great when I look back but at the time it was Tiger-esque. Playing in Club Match Play Championship Match. 2-up with 3 to go. Tough par-4 dogleg right that requires 2 good long irons (driver or 3-wood can put you through fairway into deadly woods). Hit a smoking 2-iron to cut the corner then a 195 yard 5-iron (a little breeze behind me) to 6 ft. Opponent hit his 2nd into gulley ~60 yards short of green. He conceded - 3 and 2 win for the Championship... First ever.

I guess I'm still old school. Tried dozens of hybrids and just can't hit them. My ball flight is already very high and the hybrids just balloon on me. I ended up sticking with my 3-iron and buying a Mizuno hi-fli 2-iron (that I absolutely love). And I can actually work the 2-iron nmore than I thought I would be able to do.

Its get better - supposedly they have so much traffic that their servers can't handle it so they are asking you to send an email to Little & King to check on status. I did this and got this canned reply: Please provide a photocopy of the participating receipt or the non-purchase, survey form mailed in order to participate in the sweepstakes so we can attempt to track your entry. This was for the mail-in only promotion, not the online sweepstakes to win a round of golf with Phil Mickelson. Thank you for your interest in our promotion and continued support of Golfsmith. Sincerely, Little & King Co., LLC On behalf of Golfsmith Now of course I didn't make a copy of the survey form - The official rules even states (section 3b) that "NO COPIES OF AN OFFICIAL ENTRY FROM WILL BE ACCEPTED". Now they are requiring me to send it in again. I didn't make a copy. Why should I - they already state copies are not acceptable. This is pretty much exactly what I expected - they would find a way to renig on a whole gropup of people after they lost the "bet." AAARRRGGGHHH!!!!
