d0m41n Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I was researching drivers and irons to learn what I wanted to buy. What I loved was, I wasn't willing to buy a brand new driver/iron at the time and I could still read and thought they were super insightful and fun reads. Then I kept seeing them pop up on my Twitter and I was hooked. An incredible platform/forum. Thanks for everything MGS!

BobBC78 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I discovered MGS by doing research on clubs, balls, etc and it became one of my "go to" sites for this sort of information.

Michael.Sandoval33 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Oh that's an easy one, a quick Google search for "best game improvement irons" brought me here when I was looking into a set that was not older than I was lol. And honestly, I just saw the camaraderie between the users here and how honest, yet respectful everybody was with each other. I hope to fit right into that mold. Cheers!

d0m41n Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Also, a HUGE piece of what keeps me here is the forum member testing. Not just the opportunities but more so the honest nature. It's so hard to find reliable reviews or reviews that don't sound like they were written by AI. Getting true and honest feedback from golfers similar to me is vital. I also feel like the community is so active and puts so many fun topics out there to discuss.4 GolfSpy_APH, Michael.Sandoval33, IndyBonzo and 2 others 5 Quote Damien--Titleist & TaylorMade enthusiast.

Trevor613 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 (edited) I had been researching personal, and affordable, launch monitors and MGS popped up on my Instagram feed one day. I checked out their reviews and all of the info they had on launch monitors and clubs and I was hooked. Signed up for the newsletter and have been really enjoying the lighthearted, honest, and positive discussions from fellow golfers who are just gear geeks like me! The positivity and friendliness on here is much needed island from the craziness of this world.

Wheelieb Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Was actually watching No Putts Given podcast on YouTube and didn’t really pay attention to the channel it was on. That was maybe 2020-2021. Fast forward to 2022 and I was playing in a league on Wednesday nights in Virginia Beach. One of the guys I became friends with was talking about it and how MGS was in Yorktown. Blew my mind. Now I live like 15 minutes from HQ apparently, and didn’t even know it until 3 months after my wife and I moved into our new house.

Indy_Oz Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 (edited) Returned to golf 18 months ago after 20 years away, so when it came to updating just about everything golf-related in my garage, I did a LOT of research via socials, youtube, forums, testing websites etc. MGS kept popping up on searches and I started following on social media. Eventually ended up in here after seeing something about testers wanted so thought I'd see what that was all about. The product testing may have brought me here, but it is absolutely the community and good-natured discussion that will keep me here. At some point I hope to give product testing a go. I'm an engineer and all about the details, data and analyses. Edited January 13 by Indy_Oz EasyPutter, Dead Solid Bogey, sirchunksalot and 3 others 6 Quote 2024 WITB: G430 LST 9* w.

sirchunksalot Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I was looking to buy a new set of irons back in 2018 after getting back into the game a few years earlier by buying a set of TM LCG Bubble shafts at a Play It Again Sports. I wasn't sure if I'd get hooked on the game and found these for $89 and thought it would be a low risk option in case I gave it up again. I was interested in the Callaway Steelhead irons at the time and was looking at reviews when I stumbled upon this: https://forum.mygolfspy.com/topic/19945-official-forum-member-review-callaway-steelhead-irons/ I saw the testing opportunities and started getting active in the forum.
