Popular Post Preeway Posted April 1 Popular Post Share Posted April 1 Good Evening All- This is my official 2000th post. To commemorate, I decided to follow along with what several others have done and tell of my journey from beginning to now. Looking at my the date of my first post, I can’t really tell for certain how I found my way here other than to guess it was over Thanksgiving break when I had some time to get lost in the interwebs. I can’t say which article first led me to MGS, or if it was the testing opportunities in the forum. But I can say I was quickly hooked and posting scores in the VCT thread. It wasn’t long before I stumbled across the testing opportunities. After reading the How To Be A Tester thread I updated my profile and also decided to donate to MGS. Soon after that I was chosen to be a tester for the BagBoy Nitron and was officially hooked into everything the forum had to offer. Random posts in scattered topics were quickly replaced with VCT scores and good morning posts. Soon, another chance to improve my testing mettle came about with the Titelist white box ball test. This was super fun and really made me dig deep to find ways to compare two balls head to head. I’ve played rounds before with two balls just to see how one would fare against the other but it was always very passive in terms of data collection. While there were many of us spies granted the chance to be a part of this test, I still took it very seriously and it led me to get a much better idea of how to be creative in my testing methods. 2023 came to an end with an amazing opportunity to be a tester for the Odyssey Ai-One putter. I chose the Milled 7 T CH and quickly fell in love with everything about this thing. Cold weather sadly shut down courses shortly after receiving the putter which led to the vast majority of my testing being done. While this didn’t necessarily prevent me from doing a thorough review, it did present challenges I hadn’t prepared for and once again, pushed me to find creative ways to get testing data to share with fellow spies. In short, I want to thank all of you who have taken the time to engage in conversation and throw subtle jabs back and forth. Looking forward to my Excellent Adventure with @CFreddie and competing in the VCT with all of you. @GolfSpy_BEN, let’s get this ball rolling. I feel an amazing year of golf in front of me! And I’m eager to virtually compete with all of you! Shark Bait Hoo Ha Ha!!!

jbern Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 I followed along fairly closely on the BagBoy Nitron test because I was involved in the Clicgear 4.0 test at a similar time, but my favorite topic that you started is the "Fitness Goals: Helping Each Other Reach Our Goals" thread! It's not all that popular, but I've found it greatly motivating and nice to follow along with those involved!
