Popular Post Golfspy_CG2 Posted January 5, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 5, 2022 I think we should all give a big shout out to our staff of writers. @GolfSpy Barbajo @GolfSpy Dave @Tony Covey MGS @GolfSpyC They all have had an incredible amount of articles to write with not a lot of lead time this week. By the time the OEM's got the product and product info to them, a lot of their time over the holidays was spent writing the First Look pieces we enjoyed yesterday and a lot more to come in the coming weeks. They all have worked years in the industry and developed relationsips with every OEM in order to get the access and true informataion about the industry and prodcuts that so many other memebers of the media dont' take the time to do. As I've always said, it's the best golf editorial staff in the business, and I know and have seen a lot of them. So we should be thankful we have them for another great year of conent coming in 2022! Also a big thanks to the HQ Staff that doesn't get the spotlight but put a ton of work into scheduliing, editing and photogrpahing all the content we read on a daily basis. Thanks to Harry, Miranda, Phillip, Bennett and Emanuel. Then of course there's @GolfSpy_X (Adam) who without him, no of this would be possible without his vision and leadership. Hats off Laadies and Gents!

There is also other staff at HQ that aren't listed on the team list on the main page......I'd tell you their names, but I have already forgotten i am just terrible with names.

Oh man thanks for catching that. I had harry down but must have backspaced too far when deleting something. Just so everyone knows Harry and Phillip were both responsible for many of he great prizes we had during the Majors Pool contests! So no way we could forget Old English!

GolfSpy AFG Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 GREAT post. This team has clearly been working hard and provided some quality no-nonsense insight. @Tony Covey MGS’s willingness to opine that Callaway has probably gone to the well one too many times with the new Rogue line, for example…gold. You won’t find that kind of candor among the pandering of other sites/publications.

Hook DeLoft Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 I look forward to these group reviews every year.

Personal Opinion with a little input from HQ. I think things are still being worked out with the new website and the data you are looking for will be incorporated into the head to head comparisons. I'm with you though, I like the table of data and being able to sort through it.
