Thoughts for P4P 2014

[BBrandis]

The only two things that I would like to address is that I take exception to your statement that you are / were frustrated with the lack of organization of the event. Being the chair, you don't know half of what went into planning this event. When it came time for the AX portion, it was delegated and / or volunteered by people within the organization stating the AX would be taken care of. As far as I'm concerned, as others will concur on this forum, is the fact the course layout was exceptional and well received. The issues and delays caused directly by the timing equipment also impacted other portions of the event. Concession stands, lunch, cocktail hour and raffles all had to be shuffled on the fly due directly from delays with timing. Chuck even had awards donated, which now will go to waste. Therefore, timing had a greater impact than just AX

If timing is not perfect next year, we will lose a lot of people and we'll have "egg on our face", which is not something I want to leave to chance. I know exactly what went into planning this event and many great people stepped up to make it great. This was the 1st time and these are all lessons learned and as of right now the biggest issue to address is timing, plain and simple.
