    Cotton Combs got a reaction from TENBUCK in Why did you join MGS?   
    I joined MyGolfSpy as a result of a horrible experience I had at another golf equipment site. I was a long time regular of the site, they were heavily sponsored by Callaway Golf. After I posted some negative comments about Callaway's product cycle the owner of the site contacted me through the sites private message system and pretty much told me my opinion was wrong about Callaway. I pushed back and we went back and forth via private messaging. After a period of time, about a week, I realized that the owner had some how deleted our conversation. When I questioned him about it in an open forum, he denied ever having a conversation with me. Everyone kind of piled on, he had a group of hardcore regulars that sided with him. Another member contacted me privately and told me same thing happened to him - at that point I realized the owner of the site was looking at certain members private messages. Callaway was a heavy sponsor of the site, they had a tournament each year and provided equipment and the marketing VP at Callaway at the time (Harry) was heavily involved with the site. It all seemed unethical to me, that we were not allowed to say something negative about Callaway, so I've never been back - not once.
    I love MyGolfSpy - I think they have the best golf reviews in the industry  - the annual golf ball review is my favorite.
