They will be at the top of this thread under each testers name.  They will update the placeholder posts. 

However,  it's going to be a while yet.  The testes were selected just as PING went into the mandated shutdown, and they are just now opening this week.  There is still a lot to be done in the way of fittings and then the ordering.   But check back here regularly as they will be updating the thread on the process once it gets going. 

Feel free to ask them any questions as well about the fittings, or ordering or there thought process on what they ordered and why. 

thank you

Hello all! Glad to be a part of this forum and a part of My Golf Spy.

1. How long have you been playing golf? What’s your handicap or normal score? I have been playing golf since I was around 4 years old. My granddad got me started and I never looked back. My handicap is around a 6. 

2. What do you love about golf? To me, golf is the most challenging sport in the world and I love being outdoors. I grew up playing all kinds of sports and played baseball in college, but golf is the one that I’ve always had the most love for. 

3. What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies? I found MyGolfSpy through twitter and after doing so more research, I quickly became a regular reader and follower.

4. Where are you from? What is your home course? I am from Owensboro, KY but live in Lexington, KY. My 1st home course is Ben Hawes Golf Course in Owensboro. But my 2nd is Champions Trace Golf Club in Lexington where I worked for a few years. 

5. What are the best and worst things about golf in your region? Best: Fall golf. Many people put the sticks away before September/November but it’s my favorite time to play. Worst: Winter keeps me from being able to play for 2-3 months. 

6. What do you do for a living? I am a Field Sales Representative for a power tool company

7.  How’d you pick your user name? It is my first initial and last name combined with my favorite number. 

Welcome I'm from Louisville, Ky.  Love playing courses in Lexington plus i'm a big wildcats fan

[Best most inexpensive golf trip]

Define inexpensive. That's relative the trip i take every year is usually around $7-900 and fantastic less known courses and 200ish holes of golf but it's driving 10 hrs and cheap hotels. What are your priority and expectations?

yeah i would say 3-700 bucks maybe just 2 or 3 days

[Playing with better golfers]

I always enjoy playing with better players if nothing else its fun to watch good golf.  I've also learned from playing with better players that you don't have to hit it 280 to play good golf.  One of my good friends is probably a 3 hndcp and he only hits it 230-240 off the tee.  However he's always down the middle and rarely makes mistakes and has a good short game.  It does seem like it raises your game to a different level also.  Another big bonus is you don't have to chase everyone else golf ball all over the place. One of my best friends who I play with often is a 15, and he hits it all over the place and i get tired of looking for his ball every hole.  You can also learn things to improve your own game by playing with better players.

[Best most inexpensive golf trip]

Where's a great place to take a golf vacation that won't break the bank?

[Best Phone gps?]

Gonna try one called swing U.  They have a special you can get the premium version for 25 instead of 50.  It says it gives wind direction and slope adjustment.  Looking forward to testing this app out.  Ive used golf shot and golf logix and both are ok just would like try something new.

[Best Phone gps?]

Hey guys I have a laser range finder but I would also like a phone gps for picking out targets like water or bunkers.  I also would pay a little money if it was worth it.  So what are you guys and gals using?

[What is a best brand of golf apparel? & Why are golf clothes so expensive?]

You can always find name brand golf clothes for good prices you just have to look.  The other day bought a 75$ msrp callaway shirt at Sams club for 20$.  You can also get great deals on Ebay!  Shoes, shirts, shorts, anything that you need.  If you just look hard enough you can get great deals on golf apparel.

Spray the face of your club with foot powder and work on hitting heel, center and toe;  this will help you be able to hit the center more often.   Read some of the Adam Young stuff on impact location. 

Thanks!

[The heel or the toe?]

I've been hitting everything out of the heel lately and it has leg to some shanking problems!  I would absolutely love to hit it off the toe right about now!  What about you guys would you rather miss it off the heel or the toe?

[Dress Code]

I actually love golf clothes and think they are some of the most comfortable clothes there are!  I where golf clothes everywhere!  Golf pants to church or to a nice dinner.  I almost where golf shorts exclusively, i don't really even where any other kind of shorts.  My wife makes fun of me because of the amount of golf shirts I have.  I also like to match brands if at all possible.  My favorites are Adidas, Nike, and Under Armour.  I think if you look the part it makes you feel a little more confident!  As long as people where a golf shirt I don't really care what kind of shorts or pants that you wear.  I think if people would just give golf pants and shorts a try they would never go back!

[If only 1 major]

If they can only play one major this year what one would you pick and why?  I would say the masters, it's always been my favorite and look forward to it more than any other.  I also love that it's the only major that's always played at the same course every year.

Man that looks way better than having to use that nasty grip solvent!   Might have to try this myself!

[results from doing my own adjustments on whole set of clubs]

have you ever messed with loft or lie angles of clubs?

[Tommy Two Gloves Arrested!!!]

Everyone makes mistakes!  I was so happy to see him win on the kornferry tour this year and get his career back on track.  I've always like old Tommy two gloves!

[Tiger Vs Phil]

I'm all in on this match.  Ive been watching golf on Youtube like its the pga tour!  I have enjoyed watching final rounds of the masters on Youtube.  Just need some kind of golf!

[DeChambeau Getting Swole]

Well it seems to be working out he is definitely hitting bombs!  Doesn't seem like its had any bad effects on the rest of his game!  I think I need to put on some muscle

[Patrick Reed Denials and PGA Tour Non Action]

Reed is a cheater!  Golf is a game of integrity and its not his first time being caught cheating! 

[Biggest front to back score difference]

So I played today and shot a 48 on the front and half had the shanks, then I turned around and shot 37 on the back.  The course was a par 71.  I was just curious what your guys and gals biggest difference was from one nine to the next.  This has probably been my biggest at 11 shots.

I like to watch TOP SPEED GOLF with Clay Ballard. He has really good instructional videos and goes into more detail than Rick does on his instruction videos. He's my go to guy with fixes.

Just watched a clay ballard video last night love his stuff! 

[Rick Shiels / Mark Crossfield videos]

I love both Rick and Mark!  Mark is probably my favorite on youtube!  Love watching his games with coach and the gang.  Love his club reviews.  Some other guys I've really been enjoying are the Bryan Bros Golf.  Wesley is on the Pga and has won a tournament, his brother George is also a pro i think.  Recently they have been playing matches against each other and they are very good matches.  I also really like Peter Finch he has a great channel.  Another channel that i've really enjoyed lately is Kyle Berkshire.  You might know him for winning the world long drive last year.  Well he is also a really good golfer and has been posting rounds of him playing.  He also post all his numbers after each shot and they are insane!  Ive never heard a sound like he makes hitting the golf ball it is incredible!  Check him out for sure.
