hack62tpi Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 I joined this space because I am a golf junkie. This has been my greatest source of new golf knowledge and equipment. It is a community of like minded golfers sharing their love of the game and for all things golf. The reviews are straight forward and not hyped. Honest and trust worthy golf information.

TJ1975 Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Unbiased reviews from “normal” golfers, not guys who play everyday for a living. I’m not a “blog” guy, but I spend so much time on here gathering info, I figured I’d join. Great people, great reviews.

Coachbutt Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Golf is why I live. Eat, sleep,dream breath it. Mgs is my avenue to like minded folks. I haven't gotten involved in testing as from what I've seen through the posts at my age (75) I lack the energy and diligence to preform the in depth reviews that are being done. That said,my hope is that I can just hang around and enjoy the enthusiasm that I experience every time I receive the Forum GolfSpy_BEN, ole gray and GPS111 2 1 Quote Started with 100$ set out of PX in White Sands NM 1970..53yrs later Miz 923hm. 1.9 hncp.

JJames Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 I’ve been seeing it more on Twitter with very good articles. I didn’t know they had a forum. Then one day they said they needed testers for irons that look like mine and I thought I could help and get a new set of irons as well. Seemed like a bargain. Well after a while I realized I wouldn’t ever be picked up for a test of new irons as a new member. But it didn’t matter anymore as I checked out the forum and found a lot of interesting topics. I didn’t get those nice irons but I found a nice community. Quote Drivers : Ping G425 10.5° Max Diamana black s60 X-Stiff and TaylorMade SIM 2 9° Tensei Blue AV Series 60 X-Stiff.

Richard D. Shows II Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Since I like all things golf related, the reviews and new release notices are great. The testing section is great as well. Everyday golfers testing golf items is the best way to do it. I don't want a professionals review all the time. I want the review of someone like me who shoots in the 70's and low 80's. I like the community feel of the site. We all love golf and like to talk about it all the more. Quote Richard D.

lmatteo Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 I joined because of the different testing of equipment that is performed. It’s always nice to have different perspectives on clubs and balls on how they performed for the various groups of handicaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Mitchell Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 It is the 1st place for golf I have found where scratch/low handicappers are lumped in equally with beginners or high handicappers as equals as far as being members here. Too many places for golf are 99% geared for advanced golfers, not one of those advanced golfers started off at or near scratch, someone helped them along the way but some have forgotten what its like not to be at their level and shun the less advanced golfers. Fact new/handicap golfers spend money on products just like scratch ones, same goes for slower swing speed golfers VS guys bringing the heat, we need to know what products and advice work for us not for some 20 year old driving the ball 350 down the middle. Fact some of the higher handicap golfers on this site today will 1 day be the low handicap golfers of tomorrow.

Slow Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Mostly for the best of series. Primarily interested in what works for 85-90mph swing speeds. My driver and my golf ball choice both came from MGS testing. Of course, there have been plenty of things that I would love to be a tester on. However, I think I burned up all of my golf gear testing luck about 10 years ago. First, I won a year's supply of Srixon golf balls, (their idea of a year's supply and mine were two different numbers. Their idea was three dozen) Then I won a Cleveland 7 iron and a TaylorMade 6 iron all in the same year. My golf buddies were really pissed that I won golf balls and two irons from three different companies. So, while I would love to test something for MGS I realize that the gods of golf have already favored me. Now if they would just favor me on the golf course.

Silver Fawkes Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Been reading MGS reviews and such for years and never knew the forums existed. I joined up because I wanted a place to discuss golf and the two sports talk groups I'm in as well as the Arkansas Razorbacks forums never really talk about golf. I do know a lot of folks in the Razorbacks forums play golf so I'm gonna make a post over there telling everyone about the MGS forums.

Shrek74 Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 I knew about MGS before I knew about the forum. I enjoyed the data-driven analysis and testing that MGS does and when I noticed the forum link on the site, I checked it out. I always like a place where I can chat with other people about stuff I enjoy and share stories, opinions, experiences, etc. Sadly, when I joined the forum wasn't exactly like it is now. So I stopped coming. Earlier this year a testing opportunity brought me back and I found a completely different forum than I had found a few years back. It was heavily engaged, there wasn't any belittling or "hate" speak like other golf forums many know of, and I found a great place I could engage in. I've done so ever since. No I'm on the forum more than I am the main MGS site. I enjoy the heck out of this forum and the people in it.

Popular Post Rob Person Posted December 16, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 16, 2023 What drew me here... an IG ad I saw for testing equipment. Being a newer golfer, I found that highly alluring. Since the short time I've been here, I've grown to love all aspects of the forums, and it's community supporting it. I've learned a few things that I would have never thought about in reagrd to the game side of things too. Also I've been blessed with a cool testing opportunity! Stick lurking through different areas of the forums, and also on the main page (via the email letters) So for those who have accepted me , thank you!

I get the whole pro golf stuff. It's exhausting and makes me want to get away from golf a bit, but the gear and tech always has me drooling for more. As someone who grew up in Canada and now lives in Europe and is a lefty I get that not all opportunities are available for worldwide. We work pretty darn hard to get them to be, but also are not going to turn down an opportunity if they don't make it available to all. I was pretty happy this year with having do many worldwide, including some bigger ones. Keep involved and stay tuned, we are building the 2024 calendar and there will be ample opportunities once again (not as many as this year... It was a bit crazy this season and truthfully our testing pool ran quite thin) however still will likely have roughly 200 testers for next season.

Dead Solid Bogey Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 As with most, I joined for what the average Joe had to say about equipment options. The added information derived from hard testing as well as the subjective offerings of different golfers of different playing ability has been enlightening. But the lottery prize has been the friendliness and support of other golfers on the forum. The different geographical areas lived and played in, as well as unique courses that the vast majority of us have never heard of, is just one of many bonuses of the forum. Thank you to all.
