SPY VIP Tony Covey MGS Posted September 6, 2012 Author SPY VIP Share Posted September 6, 2012 Thanks T, just throw it in our faces a little more; why don't you just kick us in the nuts a little harder and tell us you aren't announcing the winners until the middle of next week. OFFICIAL CONTEST ANNOUNCEMENT At the request of JBones, winners of the MyGolfSpy Tour Staff Contest will not be announced until the middle of next week. And by middle, I mean Thursday...at the earliest. MyGolfSpy is only major golf site that refuses advertising from large golf companies. With your support we can keep it that way.

I don't care if I finish dead last, this has been fun as hell. Can you at least tell us how many new subscribers and 'Likes' you've received? I noticed that the 'Likes' have went up about 300 over the past week. Don't give him ideas! Edit: Damn, too late! @GolfSpy_WD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoverRick Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Ha! - The timing on that was actually completely accidental. As was the posting of the JPX-800 HD pics in the forum. Honestly, it never occurred to me. Still...what an amazing happy little accident that we've got a fair amount of Mizuno coverage in the days leading up to our announcement that two guys have won, among other things, a set of Mizuno irons. Seriously...Mizuno irons would be an enticing prize all on their own (I would know...I won a set here myself a solid year before I approached X with a new idea for how to review golf clubs). Toss in TaylorMade drivers (in my bag), TaylorMade Fairways (in my bag when I carry one), Adams Hybrids (in my bag), a Bettinardi putter (I own two), Bridgestone Balls (donated mine to the ponds and woods surrounding the golf course), TRUE linkswear shoes (I own 3 pair), SCOR Wedges (In the bag of THREE MGS Testers), Sub70 (on my ass...not right the second, but you know what I mean), a damn sweet golf bag (Tim has the only one in existence right now), and a Bushnell GPS, and man...it's overkill. The irons would have been plenty. But seriously...the timing was an awesome accident. Yes, I know, I have cried myself to sleep every night for the past two weeks.

I noticed that the 'Likes' have went up about 300 over the past week. Fair enough. We've picked up over 3,000 (3K) new Likes because of this contest. It's been a huge win for us on the Social Media front, and greatly outweighs the impact of the negativity we experienced out of the gate. Just to give you guys something to chew on for the next few days. As of my latest peek-a-boo (technical term) at the standings. The guy in 10th place has just a hair more than 2.25% of the votes of the guy in 1st place. Thanks again to all of you who have participated in, and supported this contest. We've learned a lot, and what you guys have done here has given me the idea for the next BIG giveaway. I know EXACTLY what the next contest will be. I haven't talked to anyone about prizes yet, but depending on how X receives my latest idea, we're looking at either December or February (likely the latter). It won't have a Facebook requirement, we're going to restrict field, narrow that field down to 10 or so, and then we're going to play a little game. It should be fun...assuming I can pull it off.

It's been 13 days (I think) since the second part of the contest started. round(13 / 0.0225) = 578 votes for the person in first? @GolfSpy_WD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it will be pretty obvious to me who the 1st and 2nd place winners are, it's going to take a little bit of time to sort through the voters and validate the random winner against the newsletter database.

revkev Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Thanks T - I also appreciate your providing the rationale behind waiting until Monday. The pain of waiting is made far easier when there's a good reason behind it. Knowing the day and time is helpful because I have a flexible schedule - thursday I'm online a lot as you can tell - Monday not always so much unless I have a reason to be - you can bet I'll clear the old Monday morning schedule so that I won't miss the announcemnt. Also I'm guessing that the 10th place finisher didn't have many more votes than the ones made by himself for himself - 14 votes is just about 2.25 percent of 600 which was your rough estimate for the winning vote total. How's that for math - trying to redeem myself for the 14 x 50 = 900 remark.

I was hoping to pull in between 100-200 votes today alone and I think it might be possible with the responses I've received. But who knows, I could be WAY over estimating my efforts.
