Shanksters 1K Post

 

Well ladies and gentleman, it seems like just yesterday I was a young Spy Analyst working through the ranks. On this day when I am promoted to Grand Master Spy I wanted to look back at my brief but great career as a MyGolfSpy Operative. I wish I was technical enough to do a montage...

 

So far you guys/gals have stopped by my profile 5XXX times. I don't think I've met 5000 people in my life that wanted to know me.

 

I really meant it when I said this place is like "Cheers", great comrades.

watch that before proceeding!

 

I'll keep a seat warm here in Da Yoop for you! And keep a Pasty warmed up for ya.

 

First: I want to thank MGS for having such an awesome place set up here. The forum, the blog, the lab, the reviews, and the staff.

 

Mr. Barba!!! You were the first of the staff to welcome me sir! Thank you eh!

 

Ole Gray, what can I say Pal. I'd love to come down to Georgia and sit on my arse and chat with ya a while. First to welcome me! Thank you!

 

aliens8mycow, dude, you are the man. Showed me the ropes around here. That putter is sweeeet. Those ball markers

 

Judge! I swear I didn't do it. Thanks for the Masters contest. That ball marker will get good use! Thank you. And I never slice. Sergio!

 

silver&black, you are the man! You know why!!

 

Golfspy_X: I don't think I've ever seen such a stealthy post. I thought I was in trouble... my dad loved the review of the TM Spider. Thank you.

 

MGS MBP: sorry you thought me and downlowkey were trolling you. Your instagram posts are great, and you do have rally fine picture skills.

 

MGS Meyer: thanks for making an octogon for me and jlukes to battle in. Blades all the way! Han shot Han kill!

 

MGS Dave: rock that purple light sabre!

 

Jlukes.... yup. Thanks for picking a fight with me. If I ever get to Jersey I'll let ya know. Good fun buddy.

 

Downlowkey. I'd say your pretty low key. I have a lesson from the dictionary at the end of this for you. Appreciate you.

 

Dang3rtown: dig your style bud. Great stuff.

 

MDGolfHacker: if I ever get out that way I'll look you up. true gentleman

 

Carolina: same for you, when I move back to the shore I'll look you up. Thanks for your support.

 

Alfred: thanks for the pictures of the cobras!!

 

Kieldog: sweeeeeeeet set of Edel's thanks for sharing with us!

 

BIGSTU: hell of a man wearing those breast cancer awareness shoe laces. Thank you!

 

JohnSmalls: I love lamp.

 

Bulldog: You gave me a great idea to take half days on friday!

 

For everyone else that I missed it has been a great time here. You all rock. I would have went insane with out you for the past month and a half! I didn't leave anyone out on purpose! I've had great conversations with all of you! And look forward to another 10,000 just like the Lakes in Minne Flow Ta!

 

I hope I have desensitized all of us to that horrible word S#^£K!!!

 

Thank you!!!

 

Alan

What can I say. I had to live vicariously through all of you for the past month and half. Lotsa welcoming too like probably 200 people! It's great to be here. Here's to the next 1000!

Con"grand"tulations brother Shankster on the milestone. Personally I wouldn't mind meeting you for a round of golf or beer, but I would not like to meet your site name on the course because I've been shanking out of nowhere these days. Keep it real and have fun with it. Peace!

I hit a hosel rocket today... actually worked out.

 

Look up the box drill. It WILL help with my last names!

 

I had a bout with them 2 years ago. I almost gave up after I shattered someone's slider.

 

Box drill helped me out.

 

Best O luck
