Did I say one? Meant to say 2. Yes, 2. First things first, a special thanks goes out to the 33 applicants we received for the open moderator position. It really says something positive about the community that this many people were willing to invest their time and effort. Many of these applications obviously took a lot of effort to pull together so we're also grateful of how serious the position was taken. Through 2 rounds of selections, two gentlemen separated themselves. We looked at the criteria from all different angles trying to nitpick our way to give one the advantage over the other but we just came up with differences, not advantages. Not only that, they complimented each other in a perfect Yin and Yang. Why not Zoidberg? I mean, why not both? After re-evaluating the workload, we decided there's definitely enough work to share if we want to truly bring this forum to where we want to be in style. This new platform has a lot of untapped potential that we'll continue to explore. If we're gonna do it, We're gonna do it right. We're going to do everything we can to make the user experience for YOU the best on the web so please keep the feedback and suggestions coming. Without further ado, please give a warm welcome to our new staffers. Formerly known as strokerAce and mpatrickriley, I'd like to introduce you to: GolfSpy Stroker and GolfSpy MPR Be sure to give them a follow on Twitter and Instagram as well. Social Media will be a big focus for MGS moving forward. 2019 is going to be a BIG YEAR

It is truly an honor and privilege to be selected for the role. Hard to describe how flattered I am that I made the cut. Looking forward to a very bright and exciting 2019! Feel free to reach out to me at anytime via DM or on twitter at https://twitter.com/Golfspy_Stroker or on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/golfspy_stroker/. As Michael Breed likes to say... Let's Do This!

It is a great privilege to be chosen to be moderator here at MyGolfSpy. I've been an active member here for just over a year now, and am convinced that this is the world's best golf forum. Most of the time, the moderators here are regulated to Maytag repair duty, at least as it relates to moderating conversations, simply because we have such a great community. But that frees us up to plan ideas to continue to improve and expand the forum. So I'm glad to be at your service! My current Twitter account is @mpatrickriley. I've also reserved @GolfSpyMPR, which I'll use exclusively for golf-related stuff (if you're not interested in theology and my kids).

Like others, I want to congratulate GolfSpy Stroker and GolfSpy MPR for their selection as our new moderators and to genuinely thank them for assuming those roles. Know that your service to this site is appreciated. I also would like to thank GolfSpy_CG2 and GolfSpy Studque for their efforts to review the applicants and select our new moderators as I'm sure it was not an easy task. We were sure that you would approach the task with due diligence and select the best individuals to fill the role. You did a great job and did not let us down.

My daughter got her results from her final high school exams. She smashed it,, she worked hard but still had a really good year socially and as a school leader. I'm not sure if her results will change what she wants to do at university, but nearly any course is now open to her. It was probably worth her scaling back on golf this year. She continues to make me proud.

My New Years resolution is to start walking 9 holes a week. Bayou is a tough walk BTW - big gap between 7 and 8 and again 8 and 9. This will cause me to play more golf which is a good thing IMO. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

Congrats guys two great moderators---- MPR anytime you want to discuss theology with me it is one of my hobbies and interests. I kinda agree on the statement of being a "Maytag Repairman" on this site--- I think in all my years here I have only reported 2 posts one had something derogatory about MGS and the other turned out to be some kind of Spam or unauthorized advertisement----- I know the mods at the time were Johnny on the spot and the objectionable material disappeared or got shot off into cyberspace or what ever you guys do with it quickly and promptly

Congrats fellas! Now first order of business, get a Vintage Golf sub-forum for us guys swinging the persimmons and hickories. [emoji16] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Great pics - congrats to you both!

Congratulations to 2 great members. I can feel the energy and excitement that will come forth from this. And not to forget Studque ( and others behind the scenes) for their time and effort in going through the selection process.

I did it again. Last purchase for me, for a little bit anyways. KBS Carry bag... 2019 goal is to not ride in a cart at all unless the course doesn’t allow walking. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

Thanks for giving me my very first job. So I've got my first merge under my belt. Hoping it's a long time until my first ban

Week 11 is complete. My first two sessions this week were great. Set personal bests in 3 different swings including an all time best of 143 mph with the green club. And yes, I stopped what I was doing so I could take a picture of it. Sorry. My 3rd training session was not very impressive. I spent Wednesday going through a 4 hour full bag fitting at Club Champion. The first two hours alone were all iron fitting related. I used yesterday as a rest day, but even today I was still pretty sore from all those swings. Here are my overall results with highest speeds in bold. Hopefully the right-handed Blue and Red speeds are the next ones to increase.

Hey All - This is my first post on MyGolfSpy, just wanted to say I'm jumping on board the SuperSpeed train thanks to what you guys are doing. I'm 56, just start playing golf spring of 2016, so as you can imagine, pretty rough around the edges. Get out generally every Saturday from mid April to late October (live in Mass, so kinda cold the rest of the year) with a regular foursome. Got an email early last week from Practical Golf, they are offering a discount on the SuperSpeed equipment, and someone has posted a link to this forum thread, which I read through last week and have been following ever since. I actually bought the system late last spring (based on a Practical Golf recommendation and a couple of Amazon gift cards I had lying around), but didn't get very far due to a combination of elbow tendinitis and laziness. After seeing all the progress here, I just finished week one and am excited to continue through the winter. I actually started a weigh training program mid October, partly to help improve my golf swing speed, but also general strength - I'm not a big guy, about 5' 8" 165 lbs, and sometimes it felt like I was swinging through molasses the last few rounds this fall. Doing all barbell exercises for now, progressively adding weight, and it's definitely helped with getting start on the SS protocol, I haven't felt any soreness at all. My initial driver speed was 84 mph, if I'm swinging 90 or better when I play my first round in April, I'll be really happy...90 mph - 92 mph seems like a reasonable expectation based on what I've read here and on the SS website. Managed a 104 and 107 on the last two normal swings at the end of the protocol this morning, so heading in the right direction. Looking forward to continuing to follow everyone's progress, and I'll let you know how I'm doing at the end of level 1. Just ordered the pad so I'll be ready to go with the kneeling swings when I get there. - Mike

I would love to walk the course, but my health issues will not let me. It is upsetting to me that I call the course even to see if its CPO. However, on those occasions when I am given a handicap flag, I often hear my buds say, "I'll ride with Wahoo". To those that walk the course, I genuinely say enjoy it but more importantly be glad that you can. And ask that you understand that there of those of us that truly love and enjoy the game but must recognize our limitations.

So we have 3 new moderators. 1. GolfSpy Stroker 2. GolfSpy MPR 3.GolfSpy CG2. I think this calls for some sort of forum initiation, rights of pasage so I thought let's start one here. First. Congrads. Second. Shall we proceed? It was a sunny Sunday morning, and GolfSpy Studque, GolfSpy MPR, and GolfSpy Stroker were beginning their preshot routines, visualizing their upcoming shot, when GolfSpy CG spoke over the clubhouse loudspeaker. “Would the gentleman on the ladies’ tee please back up to the men’s tee.” GolfSpy Stroker remained in his routine, seemingly unfazed by the interruption. A little louder: “Would the man on the women’s tee kindly back up to the men’s tee!” GolfSpy Studque raised up out of his stance, lowered his driver, and shouted, “Would the announcer in the clubhouse kindly shut up and let me play my second shot?”

I’m doing pretty good overall. Been enjoying the holiday foods and season so no too much movement on the scale. But I’ve put those extra calories to work in the gym working on getting stronger and learning new movements. Also been trying different recipes that I can use for meal prep come New Years. Still been a very successful year I’d say. Down 50+ on the scale. Gained a good amount of strength and muscle. Starting running which I’d never thought I’d do. So all in all good progress excited to see how I can improve next year

super huge congrats! I was seriously considering applying but after a discussion with the Mrs. it was decided that I've got too many other projects going on to be able to be as effective as I'd hope to be. Looking forward do 2019 gents!

Level 2 week 4 is in the books. Here are the numbers: Dominant, non-Dominant Green 109,104 Blue 104, 100 Red 103, 92 Nothing really remarkable to report. I’m crazy busy with work so it’s hard to fit workouts in. Next week will be worse and then it settles down again. I had two bad weather workouts, one in the cold (Florida cold - around 50) and the other in the rain: The baggie over the radar worked fine but I did chew up the back yard a bit. I know we are not supposed to but I’m curious as to whether or not anyone else has tried workouts on back to back days. Maybe someone from the SuperSpeed team will weigh in as to whether that’s preferable or having a two workout week. I’m trying to map next week out. I think that I can do a go through the motions workout between church Sunday and the 4 PM Christmas Service that I’m doing at a local nursing home - I think. Three more sermons left to write plus two other opportunities where I will ad lib and I’m done - 10 days to go. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

Congrats guys! I couldn't think of 2 better choices to lead this great forum! I have no doubt that y'all will be great mods!

Congrats, guys!

Congrats to both of you and very well deserved! Looking forward to what you guys do with the forums in the future!!

GAPR Hi. I must say, I’ve never really like TM stuff outside of the TP5, haven’t bagged one of their clubs since RBZ,but this thing is pretty f-ing solid. Reminds me of my old apex hybrid but much, much hotter off the face. Went back and forth on the mid and the hi, but wanted something to launch. Hitting it a constant 230 with absolute ease. Highly recommend looking into this lineup if you want something to bridge a long iron to a wood. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

Great range session today. I guess you can say that I'm getting along pretty well with the TS2 and the Evenflow White

This is a fine team and we are all in good hands. GolfSpy MPR has already jumped into a thread and "moderate", so no rest for the wicked... How many Moderators does it take to screw in a light bulb? None They're too busy keeping monkeys like me marching in line on the best golf forums on the planet. Cheers guys and thank-you for your dedication to our little nook of the inter-webs!

Remember that I live in Florida - it’s easy to walk now - 9 holes in July? In 110 heat index weather? That’s another matter. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

Only once per week? ;-) Joking .. good on ya, Rev! I'm with others that prefer to walk whenever possible - I definitely play better when I do (more "into" the rhythm of the game) and feel it's the way golf is really meant to be played. But as Wahoo said - better to be out there in a cart vs not at all.

Taking it to the next level and beyond. Congratulations guys and looking forward to the future.

Congrats guys, enjoy the ride!

Congrats to Stroker & MPR! I know you will both provide the services needed to help My Golf Spy continue growing at an alarming rate. Just keeping an eye on the Forum is enough, but you also will be managing the equipment reviews. We at MGS will be in confident hands going forward. Thanks. Sent from my iPad using MyGolfSpy

I used to walk much more, and got out of the habit this year. My home club has a LOT of up and down, and some long walks from green to tee, and I just wasn't enjoying walking and carrying my bag. So I bought myself a motorized trolley, a QOD, and since about September have walked almost every round. The QOD isn't cheap, but it'll pay off over less than a year of cart fees. I'm really happy I've made the change, gotta make sure I get back to it when golf starts up again in the spring.

Just gonna leave this right here...

I had a goal to walk more this past year and rarely did. I plan to change that this year. like rev we have some courses that are tough walks and some that are almost a no go. If a course allows it and it’s not in the dead heat of summer I’m planning to walk

Doing fairly well with the holidays - eating a bit more than I should but continuing to hit the gym. I'm currently down 20 lbs from the spring and an targeting another 15 to get to where I'd like to be. Sent from my SM-G965U using MyGolfSpy mobile app

Congratulations @Peaksy68 I was informed by my Mum that my daughter "isn't telling anyone her results"...translation: she's telling my ex-wife's family but not mine. I guess 15 years of brainwashing will do that.
