Popular Post ole gray Posted March 27, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 27, 2017 I joined MGS becaused it's my kind of place.... Why is it my kind of place? Well just because I like it here. There are quite a few awesome golf forums for everybody to enjoy. The thing is why do you frequent these forums? For me it's a simple answer and it starts with honesty. MyGolfSpy will never offer reviews for favors. I respect this type of honest and unbaised opinon. So if you are looking at joining this forum and you're looking for a kick arse review on your favorite toy, you just might be disappointed. Reason being we don't do it to make you feel good. We do it to make you not regret....

Popular Post BigtazzGolf Posted March 27, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 27, 2017 Like you Gray, I've been involved in a few. And just didn't fit in them. Got away from them for awhile and one day when I was doing nothing I received one of the newsletters and that triggered me to ease back into the forum world. Since then, MGS has felt like a comfortable, fun place to chat and share my thoughts about things. I've been honored to have tested equipment and provide my input and feel it was valuable and appreciated by the group. This is a great thing about being here. Plus the old guard all welcomed me without reservation. That was very much appreciated. I'm sure I'm missing other aspects but these are right off the top of my head lol Tazz Grip n Rip it DawgDaddy, GolfSpy Barbajo, silver & black and 7 others 10 Quote Grip n Rip it Chicks dig the LONG ball In my staff bag King F7+ Mitsubishi Tensei CK Pro White 60 - Graphite Tour X-Stiff CBX 13.5 3 Wood Atomic Irons 4-AW (reviewing) CG16 Satin 52* 588 RTX 2.0 56* and 60* Sentio Sierra 101-M Putter Proud tester of the Tommy Armour ATOMIC Irons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jmikecpa Posted March 27, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 27, 2017 I joined because one of the old mods invited me here and said I would fit in well. I was a mod on another site for a few years that has since gone away. I was active on WRX for a few years but got tired of getting flamed on just about any post or reading posts that turned negative too often. I got to know some of the members here and liked the tone and the amount of info and stuck around. Almost 3k posts and I am still here.

Peaksy68 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I (like many) joined for the opportunity to do a review. I stayed because I love the reviews, and the relaxed, respectful way this forum runs. I feel like nearly everyone on here is here for the right reason.

Golfspy_CG2 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 After seeing many of the Blog pieces on Twitter and other SM, I came over to read a bunch of the ones I had missed. I was really impressed with the depth, detail and knowledge of the writers of each piece. I then checked out the forum, and quickly saw it was a place where everyone was welcome, all input was appreciated and there are no class differences between mods and members, just plain good golf conversation by everyone, where everyone's input is valued. I've stayed because to quote Ole Roy (Williams) It's the "best dadgum" golf site around!!

Kenny B Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I saw a reference to an MGS club review that I was interested in getting. Enjoyed the read, and stuck around. There are so many nice folks here, and it seems like we have similar tastes. I wish may of you lived closer, and we could get together for a round of golf and a round afterwards.

JohnSmalls Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Saw the article on Ksig vs Prov1, thought it was interesting. Then stumbled into the Mission:Ping article and was hooked. Love what MGS stands for and produces. After some time, I stumbled into the forum. Having never joined a forum and having just picked up playing golf, figured I would take the leap.

Kkaw1988 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I had been reading the yearly club reviews for a bit and decided to jump in on one of the member reviews I stumbled onto by accident. Once I signed up though I spent an hour reading through different topics before I actually remembered I was going to sign up for a review. So while my intentions at first started as selfish in one way my unknown desire to be a part of a community that speaks of nothing but golf took over. Needless to say the great community kept me here once the signup was complete! Long live MGS!

Popular Post downlowkey Posted March 27, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 27, 2017 At the time, I hadn't quite put my finger on it but many of you have quite eloquently framed the reason I finally pulled the trigger and created a profile. Put simply, the people here are nice, maybe the nicest group of this size on the net. Golf has played a very special role in my life and I have spent a great deal of time in deep thought on the subject (in all areas). I know the tone of my typical post tends toward Brookings Institution reports, but I ultimately just hope to add some thoughtful perspective to the threads in which I participate. Over the past 2 months (joined 1/26/17) the MGS forum has become ubiquitous as oxygen in my life. So to everyone, I would like to say, Thank You for being yourself!Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Kkaw1988, Pug, ole gray and 7 others 10 Quote PXG___0811 X 9* - Mitsubishi Diamana s60 Limited X Cobra___S9-1 Pro 15* - Matrix Ozik XCON 7 S Adams___XTD Forged 3i - Matrix Ozik Program F15 120 S Adams___CMB 4-PW - Matrix Ozik Program F15 120 S KZG___Tri-Tour 50.08__54.10__58.12 - Accra iCWT 2.0-95i S Nike___Method Converge B1-01 (copper insert) Maxfli___'23 Tour X "The most important shot in golf is the next one“ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnosil Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I have officially been on the forum for over 5 years but really haven't become active until recently. I have used quite a few golf forums over the years some are still here while others are no longer in existence. I became more active on MGS when I noticed the email blasts were coming from Yorktown VA which is down the street from where I live. Since then, I really like the forum since most of the posts are golf related and not hundreds of posts related to what I consider off the wall topics.
