American Express Membership Rewards - Private ESPN Golf School

Please forgive me if I should post this someplace else, but the AE forum seems like the right place. In my AE statement this month the By Invitation Only insert is advertising a private ESPN golf school in Carmel, NY. I have searched for previous posts on this subject and can't find anything. Has anyone experienced one of these events and did you find it worth it? This event is on 5/19 and the cost is $875.00pp for the all day event that includes lessons with ESPN professionals and golf with Davis Love III (one hole) and then a $400.00 Callaway gift card, breakfast and lunch. I am considering getting this for my husband for Father's Day and was hoping for some feedback.

I got this offer too and it does indeed sound interesting, especially considering it comes with a $400 callaway GC. The MR redemption through MR First is 65,000 points, and if you value the merchandise like I do at .01/point, the "cost" of the school part of the reward only ends up being about $250 ($650-$400 GC)--an excellent price for a whole day of training with pros!

I'm also wondering if anybody else has done this program before or can speak more about it
