  1. 1. Is MyGolfSpy your first golf forum?

    • Yes

    • No

Recommended Posts

You don't have to say which forum your were/still are a member of if you prefer to stay anonymous. I thought it would be interesting to see how many MGS'ers are new to the golf forum world. Make sure to check yes or no on the poll so your vote will be counted.

 

I was a member of THP from 2008 until 2015.

 

I was a member of Golfer's World which is no longer up and running.

 

I'm a member of GuysTalkingGolf and go on occasionally to chat. Most of the guys there are former members of THP.

 

I'm a non participating member of WRX and have maybe eight posts there. I'm a reader there as my stepson has a good instructional thread going.

 

I love golf and I love learning about the game in every aspect so having a place like MGS is a no brainer. The thing that caught my attention here is the excellent and truthful equipment reviews.  The good friends and non golf chat is just a bonus.

I was on GEA for a little while until I got thrown off for making a true but bad comment about a course here. Seems one of the mods buddies owned that course. Screw them if they can not take the hard truth. I found MGS by accident and browsed a few weeks then figured out these were the type of folks I could speak my mind to with no reprecussions.

I also post on WRX in certain areas it can get nasty in places there

I participate in numerous golf forums.  I think each has its strengths and weaknesses regarding the type of information it provides so I look at specifc areas on each of them.   Forums I have or still browse/post on are 4GEA, FreeGolfInfo, Bombsquad, WRX, THP, PutterTalk, Plugged in Golf, Cameron Collector and of course MGS.

 

The one think about MGS is that it does appear that everyone's opinions is considered/valued even if it goes against the general opinion of the forum as a whole.   Don't really get that feeling on all the other forums.

I read and rarely comment on WRX. I follow THP on Facebook and comment every once in a while, but this is my first real participation in an online forum.

Knew there are other forums out there and have read some stuff on GolfWRX, THP (which I presume is The Hacker's Paradise) and The Sand Trap .. but did not really post anything. Found MGS while searching for equipment (irons, at the time) reviews and definitely liked the 'man in the street' reports! Immensely more helpful vs the GD mag star rating and one-liners like "Wow! I hit it so far!"

Over the years I've been on several golf forums and participated heavily on each. Like CNosil said, each have their on vibe. I really like the fact here all opinions are valued equally and no one is thought better or worst about for the clubs they play.

Just speaking the truth.

 

I've enjoyed some of the threads where Big Stu has talked about the clubs that he has played for years and others that have mentioned they just love the fun of trying all the new stuff regardless of brand. Neither is viewed as wrong, just the individuals preference.

I guess you could say quality attracts quality. And I think the mission of the owners and staff to provide a site with no agenda, but just represent the golfer is appreciated by the membership.

I try my hardest but I'm just not very good at it!

 

Also this is not my first rodeo.  I think the biggest difference for me is that the other forums are a bunch guys bragging and arguing about golf.  We are bunch of guys talking and discussing golf.  They are a forum, we are a community.

Wow You and CG2 are smacking it out of the park tonight!

 

It took me about 15 minutes to figure out what MGS was all about. It's home sweet home

You know you are right on that never thought about that until you brought that up. How ever many years I have been on here I have never recalled a troll. Now I have seen some folks pop up on here with one post trying to advertise goods and services that are not forum sponsors. But the staff here at MGS has usually caught that pretty quick and of course us good abiding members will catch it too and report it in a heartbeat.

 

Everyone over here works well together and that is what makes this a great site

While there aren't any on the forums,  if you read the blog comments you will see them.  I was at the MGS reasearch headquarters last Thursday testing putters and GolfSpy Sam told me some of the writers of those posts get quite a few emails and facebook/Instagram/Twitter messages.

That's a shame folks have to be like that but it is what it is.   Let's just hope they keep their stanky arses out of our normal threads.  :angry:

A random poster at different sites. I really don't get as involved as many do. Maybe because my busy schedule and life.

 

I think golf forums are dying anyway. Instagram and private Facebook groups are really taking over(mainly instructional side of it )
