That might win the award for the longest running gag award. It's like every year people sign up for it. 

Love it when that happens. 

Brightens my day when I see a new post.

You forgot the Odyssey putter giveaway 

I thought I already won that a year ago. I guess I just need to stop bouncing around the country so it can catch up to me.

Random thread has been going forever and is constantly changing.  

How Did You Play Today thread is also a good ongoing performer with a great amount of input from a number of members.

Odyssey Putter thread - there must be an award for that one, and on an unrelated note can you believe that gullible is a word that does NOT appear in any dictionary... 

As a pragmatic down to Earth golfer who always spins a good tale of golf and life nominating  @BIG STU for a worthy category.

Thanks man I always try

Don’t you mean floating the country? We know your affinity for water

You know I can't float! I sink like a rock. Unless I am wearing my life preserver.

Surprising that UPS or USPS did not find you yet (that is of course the Underwater Postal Service or Universal Submarine Provisioning System) 

Or perhaps one of your brothers/sisters/cousins took the delivery for themselves...

Ive got a few:

@ejgaudettefor his new thread over the winter for speed gains. I think its one of the best threads to keep folks involved right now. Also the @Golfspy_TCBweek to week competitions are also another fantastic thread going thats new

@chisagive said before, his PM's are some of the best for swing information and just little things when he sees videos in how'd you play or practice

@MDGolfHackerfor handling the meetup when Rob couldn't be there. Think that was really important outside of the actual forum to keep that organized

lastly @The Hatover @Yellow Ballball for comedy

Those are all very excellent suggestions, although .. while @The Hat is always good I do enjoy the biting sarcastic wit of @Yellow Ball 

Also @Berg Ryman was a force in assisting with the Maryland meetup!

 

Was gonna mention this one, thx - it's definitely gained a lotta traction and participation!

I think both @Yellow Ball and @The Hat deserve some sort of recognition for bringing some quality entertainment to the forum. I've enjoyed the contributions from both of them.

I also agree with others here in saying the off season speed challenge, Otto phlex, and the weekly challenge threads deserve some love for keeping discussion going here during the slow season.

 

God you just HAD to mention his name, I thought he was asleep...he's like Candyman, mention his name 3 times and he hears it no matter where you are.

Well maybe Matt can light you a fire to warm you up. Hope you don’t get too close to it and catch fire if he does though. I’m sure that one of his smokers would keep you warm

[MattWillGolf]

I do enjoy the extended posts of a couple of members in particular @Berg Ryman and @edingc They entertain and educate with their extended updates on their fitting experiences in particular.

2022 has come and gone and it was an interesting year for the forum. We had a lot going on and a lot of changes throughout the year. Not only did we have the pleasure of adding a few new mods to our team, but we also had a lot of new people join the forum. Before getting into the awards here are a few stats for everyone to know!

This has turned more into a recap and thanks/recognition vs awards... we will work on award names for 2023.

Most Reacted to Content (non staff announcements)
@chisag Maxfli Tour Post with 40+ Reactions!

This was closely followed by @azstu324 Otto Phlex Thread which had over 30+ Reactions!

Third was a thread that will live on forever in the 2018 Odyssey O Works Giveaway with 30 Reactions!

Some other noteworthy threads that should be recognized are of course the LIV Thread. This thing racked up thousands (2543 and counting) of comments and I don't believe will ever stop. 

However we had some other notable content worth recognizing
@inner_game_coach had a career low post which gathered a great amount of reactions here: 

 

Also in one of our last AMA Matt Blois made a great video for us: 

Not to be outdone @PMookie journey to Ping was also a significant topic which you can find in the link below

Then there are several threads which may have not made reactions list, but have been community highlights. 

One being the MGS Virtual Tournaments being led by @Golfspy_TCB! If you haven't seen them you can find all the details below and join in the fun!
https://forum.mygolfspy.com/forum/104-mgs-virtual-golf-tournaments/

Also as this is the off season we have had some great threads which have kept us going in the winter months for those of us who are not lucky enough to play all year. 

A headliner for this is @ejgaudette MGS Off-Season Speed Challenge thread!

 

Now that much of that has been covered we get to some of the thread/pm acknowledgements!
@Yellow Ball gets a shout out for providing much comedic relief... which is often needed! Thank you and we expect more of the same in 2023! Of course we can't just recognize just Yellow Ball, @The Hat Must also be recognized for being a sense of joy and laughs on the forum. Thank you and keep it going!

A special shoutout to all who attended, organized and participated in the MGS Regional Outing! Lets hope this year is even bigger and better!

@edingc and his Work In Progress deserves a shoutout as one of the best Game Improvement threads.

 

There are so many others we can recognize and truly I could go on and on so I will tag a few others and I truly apologize if I miss a few. we have so many incredible members it is impossible to name everyone.

Thank you all for making 2022 a special (different) kind of year and one that will certainly be one to remember!

Have to say I've enjoyed this blog more than I can express in words, every day it's my highlight I look fwd to checking if there's something for me to read. My best day I had 14 highlights, cheers to all MGS members who posted and please post lots more. THANKS SO MUCH GUY'S...

[GolfSpy_SHARK]

This will be a fun continuous annual thread (that I am sure will get some content during the year). Cheers to 2023

[GolfSpy BOS]

This is a great list! I love seeing a whole bunch of old and new on this list!  Thank you to everyone who made this list for your contributions to the community, they do not go unnoticed by the mod team!  Without the awesome members we have this forum would not be what it is, so Thank you!

And I’d be remiss If I didn’t mention @GolfSpy_APH here.  I have no doubt that this forum will grow and continue to be the best place on the internet for our forum members. Thanks for your leadership on the mod team!

 

Onward to 2023!
