Reader fitting opportunity - Mizuno irons

[Phil2511]

Hi

I'd be interested to know if there are any typical requirements for selection on any GM forum opportunity other than e.g. spread of handicaps required - things like number of forum posts, how often you log into the forum, how long you've been a member, etc

Not moaning if there are, just interested to know

I remember 1 of the American golf opportunities, 1 winner near my area was only a member about a month or 2 at most and had very low post count. So I would guess it's completely picked completely at random. With the follow up check of no live infraction being made after.

We'll pull names from a hat, then any requirements are down to the brands running the oppurtunity. For example Mizuno want to showcase their whole range, hence asked for a low, mid and high handicapper. For things like the FJ shoe fitting a few weeks back there won't be any requirements normally.

If you've been selected for an opportunity in the last year or so you are probably likely to be discounted to keep it fair (unless the two opportunities are very different types) and people with live infractions are also discounted.

Otherwise it's just a lottery!

It does seem slightly strange that you can not sell a club on the forum until you have made a certain number of posts, and been registered for so many months, but you can win one of the big fittings immediately.

Hopefully those newbies will stay and post and not just disappear with their goodies.:thup:

I went for a knap as the suspense was killing me have I missed somethink? I have a rubbish phone reception here ,but alas I don't think any missed calls.

Out of curiosity what were you calling low/med/high handicaps ?

Scratch to 2 is low, 3 to 9 is mid and everything above is massively high.

 

[vkurup]

I could have fitted so well into the medium or high handicap section..... but no voice mail, email or luck..

... for that reason, I am out (yet again)

... sobbing into my lemonade.

Going by the usual gaps my guesses would be around 5, 14 and 22 respectively

no luck for me either as no email or voicemail...

time to drown my sorrows in ebay

Sadly I don't have access to my office emails from home, so you may have to wait until Monday! That is unless our lucky three reveal themselves, so far I've had one confirmation.

 

[golfsaint]

Still no signal on phone , can you resend the email to me again Jake

Must admit didn't realise Gm phoned you as well?

 

[john0]

So how long until the next mizzie fitting then?

 

[pokerjoke]

Congrats to the 3 winners,im sure your going to have a great day.
Well done GM on a cracking opportunity

 

[AmandaJR]

A good start to the weekend for the lucky three - have a great time and can't wait to hear who you are Great opportunity again GM :thup:

 

[G1BB0]

poor form tbh, I would have posted within nano seconds of being told just to gloat

come on the 3, reveal yourself for mucho forum envy!

 

[vkurup]

I am not sure why I am still checking my vmail and email...
.. who knows Mizzy & GM might just find another slot and I am first on the reserve (like every other time)... fingers crossed.

 

[North Mimms]

It's not me either...*sad face*

It's not me either...*sad face*

I can't check my emails til Monday. If the chosen guys don't put their hands up, I'll have to wait til then to find I'm not selected. Great!

Jake, I know that I said I would wait but I just have to confess and get this off my chest.

YES, I am one of the lucky three. My KZG's have served me well for 13 years but they are going to be replaced with some shiny new Mizuno's. Those MP-4's look amazing but let's be realistic here, I will settle for some MP-59's.

Missed the call as I was out on the course, however, best voicemail message I have ever listened to. It made my drink in the bar afterwards so much more enjoyable.

To say I am excited is an understatement.

A great big thank you to Mizuno, and Golf Monthly for pulling my name out of the hat.

 

[USER1999]

No missed call for me. Won't have to wait til Monday then!
