@GolfSpy_APH thank you for laying out all of that info into one, or well two I guess, comprehensive posts - that Guide is a much needed reference that hopefully will be (should be) read by all prospective testers!!
(..maybe a permanent banner link to it?)
Also I appreciate the, as you called it, transparency so we all fully understand everything that's going on.
 
 
Ben thank you for adding that (my emphasis added) - was gonna say something very similar...
I've really enjoyed .. very much! .. the testing opportunities I've had over the years on here. I've...
truly learned a LOT, had fun interacting with the other testers and other forum members who've asked questions, and really improved my golf game in the process!! 👍 BUT...
doing all the testing and reviewing and composing a good write up add up to a HUGE time commitment! Prospective testers please keep in mind that these reviews - your review - can potentially influence someone's go/no go purchasing decision..! 
 

I agree, there seems to be alot more that goes into not just the selection process, but the sustainability of both the members selected, and the quality required to keep future tests coming. 

This thread is a great explanation as to what's expected to be a tester. Just being on the forum and taking part in conversations is great. It is a safe(ish) space to just talk golf. get involved and the rewards will be great.

A PSA for anyone new around here give this thread a read!
If you are wanting to be a tester this will guide you and Tell you all the ins and outs. What we look for, why we pick who we do and more.
We truly want to get all of you new to the forum involved, but you have to do a little to show us you're ready! 
Check out the first post and ask questions if you have them!

Your review of Testers’ criteria for selection was excellent. I certainly learned a lot of facts, which I did not know. Great idea and execution. I follow your website and especially the Forums because I spend 7 months in Canada and 5 months in tiny little Blythe, CA. Consequently, I can golf year round.
I included a rock that I painted last year for friends in Blythe to remind them of them of their golf accomplishments in the sunny South in the winter.
Can’t wait to be selected as a TESTER! Keep up your high calibre and hard work.
Cheers to all American and Canadian friends.

Definitely looking forward to signing up to be a tester. Going to be excited whether I’m selected or not to read the reviews of the ones doing the testing.

Thank you to MGS corporate, MGS forums staff, the mods, and it's delegating members, for finding ways to make these test opportunities available. I can only imagine the amount of behind the scenes effort that must go into it.
(Insert oompa loompa factory gif here)

I would like to sincerely thank MGS and the hard working forum staff for finding and sharing these opportunities with us. It is greatly appreciated and we look forward to a great season of testing, reviews and comments. 

Looking forward to all the reviews coming in 2024! 🔥

2024 Member Testing season has officially kicked off with the testing opportunity from Arias Golf Canada

It is the first of many this season. We will have testing opportunities from a ton of different companies. Some we have seen before, some are new like Arias. With products ranging from all areas of golf. The Forum staff left no stone unturned when looking into opportunities and we are very excited for the schedule we have built out so far. 
We have also done our best to cater to the time of year for golfers. Knowing any are still not able to hit the golf course yet expect to see products which will suit those situations. 
It is shaping up to be an incredible season and we are all very much looking forward to it. 

I don't think you will be disappointed

My Mizuno JPX921's I got fitted for lead me in an opposite direction, I was looking at the Tour model, ended up hitting the forged and my numbers improved a good bit, Even though I'm on the downside of my hay day, I can still compete with the best of them. But going in expecting one model and coming out with another really surprised me but am better off with the forged and getting the most out of my game.

I agree, I found that since joining MGS that the community has a lot to offer on golf topics but also some general life conversations that might relate to you. When you do have a chance to test makes the experience that much better, during your testing and even after you can interact with anyone and everyone. Like @GolfSpy_APH said pick a few topics or reviews to follow comment ask questions and especially HAVE FUN and enjoy.

Good afternoon spies nothing special here today just a lazy Sunday. House cleaned sitting on the couch waiting for 3:00 for WMPO coverage to start. Looking forward to the game tonight as we are a house divided! My wife and 11 y/o are pulling for the Chiefs as Travis is a Northeast Ohio native, but me and the 14 y/o are pulling for the 49ers with Bosa and Young on the ends (love our Buckeyes), George Kittle is just awesome love that dudes attitude and how he’s always just having fun, and Brock Purdy aka Mr. Irrelevant. How can you not like that story last pick in the draft to starting in the Super Bowl. Have a great Sunday all!
I’m going to be making this today fyi it sounds awesome!

Did a golf trip there in 2014. Played it once and Crooked Cat twice. Nice venue for such things.

Yessir! And have hockey first in Boulder CO. Mama bear is making a smorgasbord! Bang Bang 9er Gang!

Dam it Rob, I missed the invite🤣, Hope you have/had a great time! Nice photos

Prepping the Hot sausage, with sauce, pepper and onions, Nacho's, and my special dip which is very easy to create and you use Frito corn chip scoops for the dipper.
Hoping that the Chiefs win, cause I don't want the 49ers to get another ring inching closer to the Steelers Ring total.
The Dip --- The meatier the better
1 1/2 to 2lb ground beef, cooked , salt and pepper to taste  
1- Can of Bold MANWICH Sloppy Joe sauce
1 Jar of Tostitos Queso Cheese dip
After cooking the beef add the Manwich, simmer for a few minutes and then add the entire Jar of Queso.
Enjoy!!
Even though I'll be working during the Super Bowl, helping, keeping everyone connected at the game I'll be tailgating !!!

I just got an email from PING offering the Arccos sensors free, a golf lesson and a $75.00 gift for a trail test , Going to sign up for it, I'm going to take advantage of it. 
 

Just found out that I will not be able to make it this year due to work scheduling and coworkers vacations, Which really sucks! I would love to join and meet some of MGS members and Staff
Take a lot of photos and Play well, it's a beautiful course!
