It's a new year, and like last year, we're giving out some awards!

Rookie of the Year

These members joined the site between December 2021 or at any point in 2022 and amassed the most reputation points while remaining in good standing throughout the year (only points earned in 2022 count). Just as you'd expect, of course! These members have a bright future ahead of themselves!

Note: winning Rookie of the Year does not preclude you from also winning Member of the Year awards. It'd be like a rookie in a major sport also winning the MVP - it can happen. It just didn't happen this year… 😄

ROTY #3: TST's Bronze Rookie of the Year is…

With 19 reputation points in 29 posts (a 0.655 ratio), and after joining on July 5, 2022… @Opoponax!

ROTY #2: TST's Silver Rookie of the Year is…

Joining on July 28, 2022 and earning 20 reputation points in 106 posts (0.189), the Manuel de la Torre fan, let's congratulate @Wade Patton!!

ROTY #1: TST's Gold Rookie of the Year is…

Racking up 39 reputation votes in total, this member joined the site on March 19, 2022 and racked up a winning total in 164 posts (0.238 points per post)! Let's congratulate @DoubleAce on his Rookie of the Year award!!

Congratulations!

Now, it's on to the big one. The one we've all been waiting for. The…

Member of the Year

These members are the best of the best. They amassed the most reputation points during the calendar year 2022, and remained in good standing throughout the year. Their peers - you guys and gals - felt their posts were worthy of the most thanks, skins, fist bumps, high fives, or reputation, whatever you want to call it. These are the elite. The people who make insightful posts that help further the discussion… even if you disagree with them occasionally. Or frequently.

Reminder: staff (me, @nevets88, @billchao, @boogielicious, @phillyk, @DaveP043, and @woodzie264 — in no particular order) are ineligible for all yearly awards, or we would have taken home some hardware here. But, moderating you fine folks is prize enough, and we thank you for your contributions to our community here! Without further ado…

MOTY #3: TST's Bronze Member of the Year is…

This member has one of the fastest swing speeds on the forum. He joined on March 29, 2010 and has made 20,500 posts since then. In 2022, he racked up 286 reputation points. For 2022, the bronze Member of the Year is…  @saevel25!

MOTY #2: TST's Silver Member of the Year is…

When this member isn't busy dealing with the health crisis, or his his own SHANK-HOSEL-19 infection, he's amassing 399 reputation points in 2022! With a current content count of 8,677 posts since joining on March 24, 2014… and as the sole lefty on this group, unseated at the top after three years in gold, the second-place Member of the Year is… @Vinsk!

MOTY #1: TST's Gold Member of the Year is…

After joining on August 21, 2018, and making 4,112 posts, roughly half of which include the phrases "white belt," "ice cream", or "Chicago," this member works hard on his swing when he works on it, and the rest of the time dreams of the days since he was educated by a greasy nun in a Brazilian cathouse (or something like that). Having long surpassed his "rule of 35" in both of the ways, he amassed 595 points in 2022. Our Member of the Year for 2022 is… @ChetlovesMer!

Wow, I have to confess I did not expect that. I figured I'd be disqualified as I'm sure I lead the league in type-o's, spelling mistakes, and grammatical errors. 

Thanks to everyone on the forum who help me keep my sanity and also improve my golf game. A special thanks to @iacas and his team of moderators for running the forum.

Congrats to all the winners! Yes, even @ChetlovesMer, who still hasn’t figured out which angels he needs to practice his golf swing. Perhaps he needs to contact Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

I've recently taken some new video with better angels. 

My personal favorite angels are Kelly Garrett, Sabrina Duncan, and Kris Monroe.

Congrats ole @ChetlovesMer! And @boogielicious is right about the white belt. I think I’ll send you a nice, shiny large buckled one! Honestly I think you’ll like it if you look at it from certain angles….😉

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Range day working with the 6 & 7 irons.  As we have grass and it’s been beat to death, I hit off short tee pegs.  Solid session with the irons - even if there were a few wonky hosel rockets with the 7 when I did not stay in the process.  Finished the session with some work with the driver, focused on setup and tempo.

      Day 27 - 40 minutes of chipping work; range was closed this morning. Worked on lofted chips with 58, bump-and-run with 7 and 9 irons.

      Dave's Journey With the Rules of Golf

      By DaveP043 ·

      Well now the ordeal is over, and I'm back home.  If anyone is interested in doing one of these workshops, I recommend it, but its a lot of information in a short time frame.  Its been compared to taking a drink of water from a fire hose.  A lot of the "enjoyment" comes from the personalities of the instructors.  In my previous workshops, I've had one instructor who was good, and the other was exceptional.  This time, both instructors were exceptional, as was the "coordinator", who also served as instructor (his first time) for a couple of segments.  You have almost certainly heard each of the instructors on telecasts as the "rules voice", and have quite possibly seen coordinator-Jay on the USGA rules of Golf videos on Youtube and the USGA website.   A nice surprise, I got my exam results in an email earlier today.  I guess it helps that our class was held maybe 300 yards from the USGA satellite office in Pinehurst.  I'm really pleased, I improved on my past performances, and can claim the "Expert" title again.
