(ps as I see members I forget I am trying to add them in as I feel bad that I am so forgetful often with names and such!) Well, I see what thread is the leader in the clubhouse for most reacted to thread of 2023 Seriously great recap and jog down memory lane of some of the hightlights for the year. Others have given him well deserved shoutouts and I'll add one more. I will say something maybe I shouldn't but it's the truth, and at Christmas time you tell the truth (ok two weeks late) But it's not far stretched at all to say @GolfSpy_APH may have litteraly saved this forum from becoming irrelavant. During my I don't know maybe 5 years now as as either a MOD or Director, Jamie reached out to me countless times offering to help in any way he could on the forum. He was persisent and showed he truly cared. So when change was made this past spring/summer and he was officially given the leadership role of the forum, it wasn't in the greatest of placess. But he had a plan and quickly rallied a great group of MODS in @GolfSpy_BOS @GolfSpy MPR and brought on @Golfspy_Lukes and @Golfspy_TCB and they have taken his plan and added their own thoughts and really turned the forum into the best place it's been in several years. I can tell you how hard Jamie has worked behind the scenese on things, but it wouldn't do it justice. He works on this forum when the rest of us are asleep Ok, long enough rambling, but just wanted to thank him and again as I have said for my 7 years here...Thanks to every single member...You guys make this place rock!

Popular Post sirchunksalot Posted January 3, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 3, 2023 I can't really say too much that already has been said, but I do want to give a shoutout and thank you to the moderator team for working hard to breathe new life into the forum. I'm not going to lie, there was a time I was really concerned we were in a downfall. As someone who loves this community, it was depressing to feel like this wonderful community was gasping for air. You guys and the great members here have breathed new life into the forum, and for that I am truly thankful. I'm looking forward to what 2023 has to offer and am excited for the future.

GolfSpy_APH Posted January 3, 2023 Author Share Posted January 3, 2023 Appreciate the kind words and support. As you all know this community means a great deal to a lot and I am happy with the progress we have made to make it more alive. It takes not only the whole mod team, but everyone as a community. We have a lot in the works for 2023 and will enjoy bringing some more variation to the forum along with building on some of the platforms we currently have!

Popular Post edingc Posted January 3, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 3, 2023 Appreciate the call out! Here's hoping my Work In Progress thread can be updated in 2023 with some sub-5 handicap news. For real though, my golf game is only where it is today because of the forums and the folks on here specifically. When I did my first test on here back in 2019 with @yungkory, @sirchunksalot and @THEZIPR23, I was quite "green" but have loved my time here since. During my range session this morning I kept remarking to myself how far my game has come since that test. The forums have given me a wonderful hobby and for that I'm forever thankful. Big thanks to all of the mods for the mostly thankless work you do! Looking forward to 2023.

Popular Post Tom the Golf Nut Posted January 3, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 3, 2023 Thank you for the shout out. I want to thank all the mods for all their hard work behind the scenes. I also want to thank all the spies out there. I was complacent with my game for years until I somehow stumbled on this site. Everyone has given me the drive to change my game, practice, get out and meet other golfers, and contribute or as some say give back. It has changed me over the past few years. Thank you for the testing opportunities that I have been part of. This also helps add focus to my game. I went from a 6 handicap to a 0.6 mainly due to MGS, the Mods and the Forum Members. Thank you Bang60, Kenny B, edingc and 8 others 10 1 Quote Driver, TSi 1 S Flex 3 wood, Aerojet Max UST Helium Nanocore R Flex 5 wood, Aerojet Max UST Helium Nanocore R Flex 7 Wood, Aerojet Max UST Helium Nanocore R Flex 5 Hybrid King Tec MMT R Flex Irons, Tour UST Recoil 95 R Flex (6 - Gap) Wedges, Snakebite KBS Hi- Rev2.0 54* & 60* Agera 35" Ultralight 14-way Cart Bag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH 2022 was a royal PITA for a lot of us with employment (mortgage industry for me), and health, both physical and mental. The MGS forum was much cheaper and I'd dare say as productive as therapy would have been. Thank you all for being my lean-to when things weren't so great in my non-golf life. Can't wait to see what 2023 has in store. I echo the therapy as well, since 2019 it's been a real struggle mentally for me and I've not wanted to carry on living. When I think of how well I played in the past and how I play now is like chalk and cheese, but after finding MGS and learning how to help my golf a little it gets more enjoyable, thanks...

Popular Post chisag Posted January 3, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 3, 2023 5 hours ago, GolfSpy_APH said: Appreciate the kind words and support. As you all know this community means a great deal to a lot and I am happy with the progress we have made to make it more alive. It takes not only the whole mod team, but everyone as a community. We have a lot in the works for 2023 and will enjoy bringing some more variation to the forum along with building on some of the platforms we currently have! ... I have seen several good golf forums come and go. I have to imagine controlling negativity while allowing enough freedom for personal opinion posting is a very difficult line to maintain. It always seems a few snarky posters can drag a forum down. But you and the other mods have managed to make this a true community and I love being a member here. Thanks!

YOU know and I know you are just a cheap range ball and all you have done is remove your stripes masquerading as a real golf ball. Sadly, even Jeppetto can't bring you to life as a REAL golf ball.

Ahh my aging actor friend, putting me down and then says he loves me. You must live in one of those areas that rips someone apart and then says "Bless his heart" like that is supposed to make everything okay. Let's break down the comments shall we! Cheap, bingo and a heck yeah. Who else never had to buy clubs, take lessons, or pay for golf. I'm so cheap I don't even have pockets to put my hands in. Unless I'm dressing up to go out that is. Now who is jealous? Range Ball, Not so much. I shall refer you to my very first post. "I normally appear to everyone as an average white guy with different logos on my coveralls from all my sponsors." I can be whatever ball is in play It could be a Titleist ProV1, Maxfli Tour, or unfortunately a lower brand rock. My photo shop color (party face) is yellow. Having Stripes, No but I have left a few skid marks in my day. Brown of course. Result of too much Tequila. Jeppetto bringing me to life. Wrong again! I was born on Christmas Day and Santa brought me to life. SEE... Look on Santa's shoulder right above the train. But I appreciate you trying to get my goat!

Kenny B Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 It's was a great year and a lot of fun!! I enjoy so many of the posts you all make in so many different topics. It's easy to make so many posts interacting with each of you like we are family... well, that and being retired gives me more free time to catch up on all you easterners! I also don't have to split my time among other family or social media gatherings. This is my only outlet for my ramblings! Many thanks to all the mods that make this place a fun place to visit and chat. I've seen a considerable amount of positive interaction from mods in 2022, and with the people involved I fully expect that 2023 will be even better. I also expect that each member here will fulfill their aspirations on and off the course, and I expect to read about them this year. Put the past behind you and see what the future can bring.
