hello strangers...(new issue/forum prizes etc)

[MikeH]

Hello all on the GM forum

sorry for the lack of postings over the last month - it really has been nose to the grindstone for the GM team getting the April issue out and knowing how addictive the forum is when you get on a roll I felt it was better to go cold turkey so as to not have temptation in my way

Today I'm actually laid low with the flu so at home and thought I'd log on and say hello.

Hope those who have got the new GM are enjoying the new look/features. As ever feedback good or bad is most welcome either posted on the board here or mail me direct michael_harris@ipcmedia.com. A lot of the new stuff is from suggestions on the forum and from the reader survey so I really do take notice of what you think and want

FORUM PRIZES
Don't worry we haven't forgotten about the what you're talking about prizes - all just gone a bit west of late!

Anyway, March and April winners below (usual drill send me an email from your registered email address including your home postal address and I'll email you back on a first come first served basis with prizes to choose from)

The gear cupboard has taken a bit of beating recently what with the new reader test panel and having to send a load of stuff back but there'll still be something for everyone

March

Hi Mike,

May I be first to say how excellent the new mag is, although the statement "Madandra is dangerous off 11" in the St Andrews match report has to be the understatement of the century

Mike,

As you can see from my signature I've changed my irons if that makes any difference re readers panel. I'm also looking at upgrading wedges and considering a new driver soon.

 

[viscount17]

Mike. PM sent. Many Thanks

Hi Mike,

The new look mag is great and I liked the AliB article but whats the latest on the refurbing of the web site and forum? Are there any plans and what is the timescale?

Andy

PS Thanks for NOT airbrushing my picture and leaving me to look like a lard arse

 

[HTL]

Well done guys.

Will be reading the mag on train home, and give my views later.

 

[TonyN]

stop going on about this new mag... some of us only have a clock and a watch to look at, occasionally the calender to double check tommorow is thursday... God your all so inconsiderate. No seriously though cant wait to get me hands on the mag, read all the stuff the guys(and gal) have put in.

 

[GB72]

Have the same problem. Nearest branch of Smiths may have them in tomorrow but sometimes it is a day or 2 later when the hit the shelves. Roll on next month when my subscription kicks in.

 

[Parmo]

I will pick mine up at the weekend, I also have chaged equipment since I sent my email for the test panel, what should I do?

 

[toonarmy]

Some of us are subscribers and are still bleedin' waiting for our copy!

 

[AliB]

Just got mine today in Bristol!
Glad you liked it the article Andra. I'm just breathing a sigh of relief the photo doesn't show the laughter lines (or tracks of recent tears!)
Best news of all - went round in my par today - woohoo!
Mike - is there anything in that cupboard a medium sized lady could claim? Alternatively Mr B lost his Mizuno mx17 pitching wege recently (no longer available - if there's one going begging, I would forego my own claim!)

Off to do some reading now ...
Cheers

AliB

 

[MikeH]

thanks for the positive comments from those who have seen the new mag - hope everyone else gets their's asap

Ali - I have been meaning to mail you - we have a TaylorMade r7 ladies fairway wood in. Does that take your fancy? Mail me at the usual address and I'll sort when I'm back in tomorrow

madandra - you looked like the svelte athlete you are!

equipment panel applicants - if you have updated your kit then yes, good idea, please do drop an email to golfmonthly@ipcmedia.com with the new line ups

 

[theeaglehunter]

thanks very much Mike, I didn't even realise there were meant to be prizes (fairly new to the forum) and was just happy to see my comment published. Not that I am turning down a prize of some sort .

I have now sent an email from the address I registered with, and look forward to your reply....which I have just recieved. DOH!...Wow this guy is good, email sent 16:53, reply came 16:56.

Thanks Mike

 

[TWM]

Thank you Mike.
Being a fairly new member I had no idea there could be prizes.
Still all offerings gratefully received.

 

[TonyN]

Just wondering, how did all you guys get to test and write? was it equipment that was supplied or that you bought yourself?

 

[madandra]

Submit your details (whats in your bag) to Mikes address (shown above) and just sit back and wait. The equipment supplied is given from stock GM have been sent by manufacturers and the next wave of reader testing could be soon.

 

[TonyN]

Thanks Mad, you know... i dont think my mum is even as quick at being helpful as half of you guys!

 

[MVP]

Email sent mike, thanks for being selected it was a surprise!

 

[AliB]

All hail (again) the boys who played at St. Andrews and whoever did the write up for GM - it's a great read and I really enjoyed it.
However feel obliged to make a Scottish nerdy point.
Being born and brought up in Dunfermline http://www.thecourier.co.uk/output/2007/05/07/newsstory9675526t0.asp
it was always referred to as The auld Grey Toon - so I was surprised to hear this used of St. Andrews, (though I suppose they are both pretty old and grey).

Sorry - will now retire to bloggers' corner!

AliB

 

[Mr_Top_Shot]

Cheers Mike, as some others didn't even realise there was a prize. Mail sent.
