You know you are addicted to MGS when...

  • Before you hit your alarm button in the morning, you check your phone to see if there is anything new on MGS.
  • During commercial breaks of your TV shows you check the MGS forums for any updates.
  • During a golf tournament you aren't checking the leaderboard on PGAtour.com, but you are checking the latest MGS thread to see if anyone is talking about the last interesting shot or controversy by someone from the tournament.
  • After getting thoroughly embarrassed by the Euros in Ryder Cup, you don't talk to your actual real life friends about it, but instead you rant incessantly on MGS to vent your every frustration, over the course of a week afterwards.

When watching a golf tournament, for example at a 19th hole, and an OEM advertises that one of its products is a most favored by MGS, you make sure that everyone within ear shot knows that you are a spy.

When your post count shows that you are not just here for the opportunity to be a tester.  

When you have stopped posting to other golf forums where once you were an active participant.  

Posted

When watching the Euro tour in the background you are browsing MGS as your main focus. 

When I have 1000 posts in a month. 

When I drain my phone battery each day only using it for MGS.
