And I think you guys are going to like what these 10 companies are offering up as prizes Now can you guess what 10 companies??? The big red blotch is KBS, based on the forums sponsors, I'm guessing one of the lighter blotches is TT. For the others, I'm guessing Harrison, PURE, CRU, Golfdiscount, and Flightscope. The last three are pure guesses, but I'm thinking Clicgear, TourStiker, and Ashworth. @GolfSpy_WD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoverRick Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I wonder if MyGolfSpy has taken the advice of the forum members. When the leftter from the "Disgruntled" reader about sponsors, the overwhelming response from us was "taking money does not compromise your principles." Not writing your opinion because someone is paying you compromises principles. Take the money from all of them so that there is no favoritism. Now we have a thread to get us fired up about an upcoming contest, and T has been as busy as a fluffer at a porno shoot trying to keep up the excitement, and now we have hints dropped about sponsors. Then 10 sponsors and now a time frame. I do not know who the OEM's are but if it is the big ones good for MGS. And perhaps even better for MGS readers.

SPY VIP GolfSpy_X Posted August 2, 2012 Author SPY VIP Share Posted August 2, 2012 Well definitely some big name sponsors for this contest Rick, but those are not going to be sponsors on the site long term as of now at least. And unfortunately taking money from them has compromised every single media outlet in this industry and the majority in other fields as well. Just human nature. You take money from someone you are less likely to say bad things about them. Pretty much how our government and society is run nowadays. And the other issue is it is great if they ALL sign up and pay even amounts, but that is just not likely at all. You will have ones that don't commit and others that drop off because of things I publish. You guys just don't realize that these guys really are like the mafia, they want complete control of all content, and I get it, but that fact makes it extremely difficult to do the job I want to do for you. We have ones bohooing, not wanting to participate, wanting me to change what i write, etc. already and we don't even take their ad dollars, what do you think they will do once we do? Sorry to get off topic this will be for another day but definitely up for debate and I want all your feedback. I wonder if MyGolfSpy has taken the advice of the forum members.
