Congrats to GolfSpy MPR !

[StrokerAce]

Saw this yesterday on X/Twitter and wanted to say congrats to @GolfSpy MPR !!

In our little corner of the interwebs this is a big deal and these 3 guys (Lou Stagner, Mark Crossfield, Greg Chalmers) are awesome.

Congratulations @GolfSpy MPR! Wishing you wild success in this new endeavor

[GolfSpy AFG]

Yes, big congrats!  That’s an awesome podcast!

[GolfSpy_APH]

@GolfSpy MPR so incredibly happy for you!

This will be a great new challenge and adventure for you and one we are all excited to follow along with.

We know you'll be busy there but don't be a stranger!

[JohnSmalls]

Wow!  That's awesome @GolfSpy MPR!  It's been fun to follow you here, and in the online tweet/x cage.  They've got a great guy for the job.

[GolfSpy MPR]

First, thanks @StrokerAce! I intended to start a thread about this, but you beat me to it. (I was on a golf trip with my dad and my son the past three days, so I was a bit unplugged.)

I'm really excited to have a place on the Hack It Out team. Just for clarity: I'm not going to be on the podcast, but I'll be doing the audio editing, posting the podcast for download, and handling the social media for the podcast. It's cool for me as longtime fan of these guys to have a role in the podcast. I've learned a ton from all of them, and there have been all kinds of times when I've burst out laughing listening to them. I already kinda "felt" like I knew Mark, Lou, and Greg, and to be able to work with them directly is really cool.

With this move, I'm going to be stepping down from "official" moderator duties here on the MGS Forums. I've had the privilege of "bridging" two different mod teams, first coming on with @Golfspy_CG2, @STUDque, and @StrokerAce, and then the current team led by @GolfSpy_APH. Both groups have been great and both have taken clear steps to make the Forum better. I know I've written this here before, but I stumbled on this Forum years ago when I first started getting into golf. Like many, I think I first came here because of a testing opportunity, because I wanted "free stuff." But after my first "real" post in the Forum (on my basement putting green), I found a community unlike anything else I'd ever seen on the internet, and that includes most theology forums I had been a part of (sadly). Courteous, friendly, and informed conversation has been the order of the day on this Forum.

For sure, we've had some (ahem) "interesting" characters over the years, but we mods have been able, for the most part, to moderator with a very light hand, because the Forum is largely self-policing.

So I'll still be around. Oddly, I typically post here more often in my golf off-season than I do during the season, because during the season I'm trying to play as much golf as possible before we get another 200 inches of snow.

Congrats @GolfSpy MPR!

Conngrats. @GolfSpy MPR! That is one of my favorite podcasts to listen to. Their banter combined with helpful information makes for a great listen each week.

[GolfSpy_KFT]

Appreciate it; but I'll be doing behind the scenes stuff (editing, posting). I'm not going to be another voice on the pod (unless, I suppose, I surreptitiously edit myself in...).

Congrats @GolfSpy MPR! Enjoy the next adventure!

[Q22Golf]

Congratulations!! So cool! Have fun!

[Golfspy_CG2]

Congratulations @GolfSpy MPR  you've been a true asset to the site and the moderation team since you came on board.   Don't be a stranger and drop in and see us now and then.   Maybe when there is some "free stuff" to test

Pretty sick @GolfSpy MPR, absolutely one of my favourite pod casts. Listen to it daily, these guys are beauties. Awesome addition to the team

[Vegan_Golfer_PNW]

Way to go Mike! I saw that yesterday. Quite the honor. I am excited to see what you can do with it. Do you get free Arccos for life out of the deal working with the StatHole? Can you confirm Lou's inseam? Can you confirm Greg is actually back from holiday? Can you confirm that Crossfield can actually flex a bicep?

Congrats!

[ejgaudette]

Congrats @GolfSpy MPR! Sounds like a really fun endeavor and I am sure it will be a blast.

The one downside: I have to shave my head to match Mark and Lou. My wife's not thrilled about it, but at least they're letting me keep my beard.

now, how long until you get Nickol on their pod? Also a fun idea, a giant pod cast crossover with them and the Sweet Spot. It could be like a cricket match and go on for days!

God's blessings on this new endeavor MPR!!!!  Thanks for everything you've done as a moderator here.  We look forward to your new exploits especially when we see you as the dad crying because his kid just won the Masters or Women's US Open. 

[Ignacio]

Congratulations on this new endeavor @GolfSpy MPR  

[rkj427]

Congrats. @GolfSpy MPR on your new path moving forward.

Sometimes the "behind the scenes" work is the most fulfilling as it typically is the most important part of ensuring things go as smoothly as planned.

I will miss your posts here, so be sure to stop in whenever the opportunity presents itself.

[cksurfdude]

CONGRATS!!! @GolfSpy MPR!!!

Should be an incredible experience immersing yourself into yet another facet of the golf world!

Keep learning .. and having fun .. and impressing us all with how you find the time to do all these great things!!

[MGoBlue100]

That's awesome @GolfSpy MPR, Congrats!!

[sirchunksalot]

Congratulations @GolfSpy MPR! This is a really cool opportunity to work on one of my favorite golf podcasts. 

I appreciate all the work you have done for the forum as a member of the leadership team and believe some of the skills you honed here will be helpful in your new venture. 

[Kenny B]

@GolfSpy MPR Congratulation Mike on your new gig!  Should be a lot of fun!!

@GolfSpy MPR  congrats;  sounds like a great opportunity.  Based on the videos and content you have posted here I know you will excel.

 

[tdroma98]

Congrats @GolfSpy MPR!! All the best with your new endeavor! 

[srooch2]

Are you kidding me?! Great job! This is one of if not my favorite podcast! @GolfSpy MPR

[GolfSpy_APH]

I know the answer is basically a heck no, but it would be really cool of you to throw in a little mgs forum easter egg into every episode for us to look out for?
