Reader fitting opportunity - Yonex irons

chrisd said:
You're quite correct, post counts have very little part to play. The company tell GM the type of people they are looking for and that narrows down the entrants quite significantly, then it might be the type of clubs you currently have, how new or old your gear is etc etc so it is generally a real selection process. I've got over 10,000 posts but have never done a club fitting and understand that I will only get the chance if I fit the demographic

+1

We've got a tee fitting coming up soon Chris, and I reckon you're just the man :thup:

At the end of the day, these are Golf Monthly opportunities, whether that be our print and digital subscribers, Twitter followers, Facebook fans or forum users. Therefore post counts are neither a benefit or a hinderance when it comes to selection.

As has already been revealed, daveyc2k2, shewy and also Dave B are the lucky 3 we've selected.

I stand corrected.

Perhaps as I suspect I waste too much time on the forum.
Good luck to the 3 selected.

All those infractions you have got don't help your chances.

nope no matter how I read it what your saying is that some people are better than others so deserve all the goodies. Some sort of hierarchy is there that I'm unaware of. Anyway congratulations to the winners who won fair and square.

To be honest I thought it was a forum opportunity.
I was wrong.
However if it was I would like to see it go to someone who gives back.
I couldn't give a dam about post counts,the more you have imo the more time
of your life has been wasted.
As I said good luck to those chosen.
That's my last on the matter.

Funny really cause your rant seems to be directed at me, but in the two and a half years I have been a member I average around 0.9 posts per day. I'd say that is contributing and giving something back wouldn't you?

It's not about no of posts, it's about attitude, and what you posted prior to pj's reply was pretty poor IMO.

Well done to the fellas that got picked:thup:

In fairness I worded it wrong. What I meant was by leaving it so late to inform people means that some may be taken out of contention due to being unable to get time off work, which is a bit of a shame. I appreciate that they are great opportunities and thank GM and the companies for affording them.

Old and bald? Good luck with that mate ;)

:rofl:
 
In fairness to PJ, he has got a valid point about people who make a contribution to the forum. There are people on here who give up a lot of their time to organise charity days etc for the benefit of others, those that generously offer to host fellow forumers at their course at very attractive guest rates and so on.

Some people put a lot in, others just take a lot out. I think a couple of people have been a bit harsh on PJ in this thread.
 
I think its sad that people on here are bitching about who gets picked and who doesn't , it doesn't hold the Forum in a good light, GM and the companies might think why bother. Just my 2p worth
