Winner! – July 2012 Forum Member of the Month

Winner! – July 2012 Forum Member of the Month

Congratulations!

MyGolfSpy would like to congratulate July 2012’s “MyGolfSpy Forum Member of the Month”gkatshoots69.

Our July selection is sure to ruffle some feathers, but isn’t that part of what MyGolfSpy is all about? We believe in having an opinion, and that as long as you’re reasonably polite and respectful towards your fellow readers, you should speak your mind too…even if what you have to say comes from what we might call the less popular perspective.

From the day we launched the Forum Member of the Month award we’ve said that we’re not simply going to give it to the guy (or gal) who starts the most threads, or comments the most on other’s posts. We think the award should go to someone who has done something to generate real conversation, and by extension, grow our community. We’ve always believed that we’d eventually pick a winner largely off the strength of a single thread. This month, we’re doing just that.

If you look through our archives over the last month, apart from a major contest announcement, no single post has generated more visits and more conversation that gkatshoots69’s bold admission that He Doesn’t Like Bubba Watson. While not all of us agree with his opinion, or the reasons for it, we respect gkatshoots69 right to an alternative viewpoint, and we’re certainly glad he was bold enough to share it.

From the entire staff at MyGolfSpy, Thank You, gkatshoots69, for your contribution to our forum.

About the Forum Member of the Month

The Forum Member of the Month isn’t simply given to the forum member who starts the most topics, or comments on the most posts. It’s given to a reader we feel has done an outstanding job of eliciting conversation, contribution to the discussion, and ultimately helping grow the MyGolfSpy Community.

As the name suggests, each and every month we will select a new winner, and while there will be some overlap, every month’s prize package will be unique. So if you haven’t become a member of the MyGolfSpy forum yet…today is a great day to start. The MyGolfSpy Forum now has over 12,800 members and over 55,000 golf posts…so you are sure to find fellow golfers who share your passion for the game…and now you can win some kick-ass prizes as well.

      Thanks everyone! I’m glad I could contribute to such a great forum and it was nice that people didn’t bash me to bad for what I had to say. ;)

      LOL! Forum member of the month because he posts that he doesnt like Bubba’s watch, sense of style, and ball flight. This is pretty incredible. I guess the real curiosity is that this opinion generated so much discussion. Enjoy the prizes

      BJB, No, that’s not really why he won….Why he won is because he posted a piece that has generated 115 responses & 3216 views in a little over two weeks…If you go back through the forum, there are no member posts that touch these numbers for interest or response….

      Why he won is if you also look at his post, you will see many posts from newer members and also those who do not post that frequently, which is the ultimate goal of any blog/forum, to generate active participation….

      Regardless of where one would fall on the issue, and I went from not liking Bubba to thinking that he’s a good guy, the sheer attention and responses that the post created is incredible…And what was the most impressive, to me at least, is that even as some attacked Gkat personally, he never lowered himself to personal diatribes n responding….

      So, at the end of the day, Gkat got this award because he did not think like the rest of the heard…It’s nice to see individualism rewarded!……

      As I said before, I saw this seconds after it posted and was the second viewer, I thought this does not even deserve comment, but then Commented on it later 4 or 5 times and really loved the conversation it started. I just wish you would have won a Pink Ping Bubba driver. Maybe they could sent this to Rookie first and he can paint it for you.

      GKat, It couldn’t have gone to a more deserving individual…None….As I said, there is no single thread in my time posting at MGS that caused more interest, responses or opinions in such a short period of time…

      And more impressive than your post is how you handled the adversarial responses…With Class…No, you absolutely earned this award, and as I said, keep ’em coming….

      It’s great to have you in the forum!…..

      And MGS, kudos for doing something like this!…You very rarely dissapoint!…..
