It's that simple, just people who enjoy the game, are respectful of each other and have a good time. I'm not so sure about the above, because I have seen it all on these forums. Some golfers are so full of themselves, their "golf ego" is bigger than they are. And then, there are the players that just enjoy the game...

Fyrmedic Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 I first joined because of the MGS YouTube and podcast. I quickly found as a high handicap relatively newer golfer that my questions were met with authentic responses rather than the typical you suck at golf responses on other forums.

Don Figgins Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 I look forward to MGS learning about new golf equipment and all things related to golf by reading the many reviews from our forum member testing. Now that I’m retired, I’ll have more time to respond to forum questions, provide feedback, and maybe participate in new product testing if asked to. MGS is the only forum that I follow and have no reason to look elsewhere as this forum gives me everything and more than I expected. I often tell my fellow golfers about MGS and the feedback from them is also very positive. Thank you MGS for all that you do for us! tdroma98 and BKervin 2 Quote Don Figgins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Everhart Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 I joined MGS originally when I saw your articles on golf ball reviews and tests. Then I saw an article on 2nd chance/cheap golf balls and how much effect they have on my game convinced me even more. I was always buying the cheap/2nd chance golf balls not realizing how much it effected my game. I wasn’t breaking the 100 mark until I started buying a better quality ball. Now I’m purchasing Titliest,Taylormade or Vice balls and finally broke 90 last year. I’m also looking to get a new set of clubs so reviews and tests on equipment are helpful in my decision on new clubs.

Golf2Much Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 I joined over two years ago. I had been on a site that didn't make it and found I without it there was a void in not only getting information but also offering my opinions on various topics. I stumbled upon MGS and I found a place that had unbiased reviews, great threads to learn and comment on, and administrators that played an active role in engaging the members. The members are respectful to one another. I also like the fact that the skill level of our members is diverse. Sure, there are many great single digit or better golfers that are active here. However, there are as many with handicaps and games that I can better relate to. That diversity is important to me. I love the staff and member reviews. I've enjoyed being part of two in the last year or so. I truly enjoy the virtual tournaments that have been running over the last year. Both the annual as well as the two special event two person tournaments. It gives me a chance to play against and partner with golfers all over the world. Finally, I think highly of the comments that our members make, and I enjoy when the threads, comments and opinions I offer are appreciated. MyGolfSpy is part of my daily routine, and I wouldn't have it any other way!

Lots of new members here on the Forum and I would love to know what made you join the MGS forum? For me, I would have to say that the biggest thing is being a part of an ever-active golf community. I love the instruction, information, and overall comradery that something like this brings. I love that for someone who is a desk warrior can still think of golf and be a part of something bigger.

Chipmunk Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 The main reason I started following MyGolfSpy was for the equipment reviews. After reading a number of those, I wanted to signup as I figured it was a quicker way to find out what reviews were coming. Then seeing the potential to be a tester just added to my interest. The forum has been fun to be a part of. Quote Typically a bogey golfer although I have improved some over the past few years due to playing more.

Threeputtgame Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 I joined MSG for multiple reasons. For one, questions can be ask and answers given without ridicule. The atmosphere is great and it is things like MSG that is truly building the game of golf. Another, are the unbiased reviews of equipment and accessories that are given by MSG forum members. I feel they are more trustworthy than paid “professional reviewers.” Then there is the added bonus of being given the opportunity to review products for the forum myself. MSG is a definite win for the game of golf! tdroma98, GolfSpy_BEN and wbealsd 3 Quote Enjoying the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotton Combs Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 (edited) 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.

T.Sibley Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Like others, I was seeking unbiased information. I had started looking at multiple outlets for club and equipment reviews, and realized the articles and publication were nearly identical. In many cases they were more marketing material than substance. Coming to MGS was refreshing and real as a source for information. I've learned a lot more about golf and equipment through the short time I've joined. Thanks MGS staff.
