StrokerAce Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I see a lot of sites/promotions advertising to **enter your name and password !! you can win xxxxx golf club/bag/shoes,etc..** Have you ever been selected as a winner of one of these 'random' drawings? If so let's hear about it. I'm skeptical by nature and I just have a feeling that this is a ruse to collect email addresses and spam you endlessly. BTW: I'm specifically excluding MGS from this because the 'winners' don't just get something scot-free... they need to perform a very thorough and critical analysis and post a review of the product.

GolfJunkie302 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I am also a skeptic about a lot of things. I have entered in so many contests but have never won.

Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy I hope so... not that it's something like "oh, you forgot to read the fine print and enter your middle name so although you were the winner we regret to inform you we cannot ship you the product at this time; better luck next time!" But that's what I'm looking for - someone who has, for example, won a TaylorMade M2 and what the actual product was like. Was it genuine?

Peanut05 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I enter a lot of contests and have won several things. The best win was probably a brand new pair of footjoy shoes from a contest Footjoy was running on their site. I did win a golf bag at one as well that I still use when I carry my bag. Edit - I forgot about winning a full Travis Matthew wardrobe a few years ago. I got a new shirt, pants, shoes, hat, and maybe a belt. I can't remember if I got the belt or not.
