Congrats Joe and Tim! And thank you @Golfspy_Lukes in particular for bucking the three-character name trend. One less acronym to memorize 😂! We still love you @Golfspy_TCB though!

It is Thursday and we have an exciting announcement with a little twist. 

I want to introduce our new mods, yes plural. We have been fortunate enough to have been given approval for 2 new mods to our team as we go through a slight restructure. No worries, nobody is leaving how with some time commitments and such taking up time in various areas we were able to bring on two new mods. 

Please welcome @Golfspy_Lukes (former jlukes) and @Golfspy_TCB (former tiftaaft)!

We are really excited to have both Joe and Tim join our team and work with us and the forum moving forward. Both have been stellar members and I feel will bring a lot to this community.

@Golfspy_Lukes has been a member for a long time and most all of you know him well. He has a wealth of knowledge about the game that suprasses many. He brings a great background in equipment and fitting and is one of the most recognizable names on our forum for many years. We look forward to his experience and expertise and what he can bring moving forward!

@golfspy_TCB has been a member for a little over a year and has made great contributions to the forum in that time. He has taken part in the Nippon test where he is now a bit of a shaft expert and has truly provided this community with quality content that is worth reading by all. As with Joe we really look forward to having Tim join the team with his drive and commitment to making the forum a better place for all!

Finally I want to thank all who applied. To put it simply we had so many good candidates and it was near impossible to pick. It just goes to show how great this community is and the amazing members we have here, along with the varying skillsets and backgrounds is really cool. I enjoyed getting to know many of you a little better throughout the process and look forward to everyones participation in various areas on the forum!

With that welcome to the Mod Team Joe and Tim!

Congrats @Golfspy_Lukes and @Golfspy_TCB. Both of you are great additions to the mod team.

Thanks for the love 🙂 @mynerds!

When asked what I would like my @Golfspy name to be... I quickly reviewed the existing mods/admins ... and assumed the three letter moniker was a requirement ;). 

Easy...

That is an amazing tat, and an even better story for the moniker. TCB it is! @Golfspy_Lukes is going to have to go with _RTA (Respect The Alpha, for any Critical Role fans out there) just to compete 😎! That or @Golfspy_CG2 is switching back to _Rob in solidarity.

Wait, wait, no fighting on the first day! I take it all back!

@Golfspy_Lukes suggested mine be ICE because I'm an Ice maker and put an awesome top gun gif to go along with it when I was announced. I don't think there are really any rules more just trends. And I've even debated changing mine too golfspy Jamie but APH will stay. 

Looking forward to working with these guys and seeing what this team can accomplish.

Since you set the precedent, I expect EVERY Mod to get a tattoo of their screen name, starting with @GolfSpy_APH. Of course "I 💓 MGS" will serve as a good substitute. 😎
