I come for a bit of everything. I’ll be honest, my participation comes in waves, depending on what’s going on in life. Folks are great here!

Will try the Virtual tour thingy … and will try to post a marker for the course I use in SoCal.

Also, just wanted to say, management of the forum is fantastic. Top notch.

Can always be left blank. 

I would say general product is what I see you most active in.

Glad I stumbled onto this and completed it.  Results could be interesting.

Would have liked to select more than one answer for the first question, but understand why that's not an option.  Honestly, I first started for the contests and chance at winning free stuff, but have evolved to sliding all around on multiple topics.  Probably spend too much time on this forum, if that's possible, but who's counting?  Family sure thinks so anyway.

Have no idea what the course marker is, or what the AMA question was regarding though.  

Apologies for my ignorance !

Course markers are where members can do course reviews! 

AMA or ask me anything was a feature from a year or so ago which a previous mod had created and led. When he left we had a hard time keeping up with it so it is more if anyone is interested in seeing them come back then we can make those efforts!

Completed. I chose “Other” as my answer to the first question because I feel like I almost participate equally in each answer option. Lately, I’ve been most active on general discussion which I really enjoy. That is certainly what has kept me coming back each day.

I think this is in large part to not having the best testing season last year and the whole mod team working so hard to bring life to the forum in other ways.

Filled in my response. I joined the forum to support MGS as a whole. I was fortunate enough to be selected to test products but I really enjoy the member interaction and the banter that occurs in the various threads. While we all love this game and mostly take it seriously I find that the forum members don’t take themselves too seriously. Which makes the forum a fun place to spend time.

Completed - honestly though there were a couple that multiple answers could well have and should well have applied.

 

Andcehy I come now is different from why I first came. I first came because of a preposterous claim that Srixon was making about its golf ball. I wanted answers about “side spin” and compression. I had my answers in minutes and have been here ever since.

I’ve also never gained a Srixon ball and won’t because their claims were BS and they never once answered my inquiry. Every other OEM has answered when I’ve sent a question in, 

Taylor Made Stealth 2 10.5 Diamana S plus 60  Aldila  R flex   - 42.25 inches 

SMT 4 wood bassara R flex, four wood head, 3 wood shaft

Ping G410 7, 9 wood  Alta 65 R flex

Srixon ZX5 MK II  5-GW - UST recoil Dart 65 R flex

India 52,56 (60 pending)  UST recoil 75's R flex  

Evon roll ER 5 32 inches

It's our offseason so auditioning candidates - looking for that right mix of low spin long, more spin around the greens - TBD

I know many could have had multiple selections and gave that consideration. However then when we look at it all it leaves some ambiguity to the data and more room for Interpretation. This way we have some more concrete answers and ability to move forward with the data provided.

I think this will be echoed, but the first question could use the option of offering multiple selections. While my answer would have changed over the years, I certainly come to the forum for all of the selections offered; with general discussion being the most frequent.
