Wow! Sour grapes much? Y'all have your chickens counted before they hatched? Yeah, it's a crying shame that we live in a world where the over-the-top "lead by example in the giving spirit" and "I have 150 pair of shoes" angles don't work. But it seems I'd sooner read about 200 congratulatory posts than this. Funny how quickly your collective "thanks for the opportunity" is revealed to have been nothing more than shameless begging for a handout. Good luck on the next giveaway though. I'm sure you'll do [sarcasm]real[/sarcasm] well.
Anyway, thanks again to FootJoy for this awesome giveaway for everyone here, and big congrats to all the deserving recipients.
I don't think I should have won at all. I do think there were a few better choices out there though. I'm merely speaking out for those people. I don't need another pair of shoes and can PUD some Syner-G's anyways, if I decide to get some.
Our FJ rep stopped at our store first and I had the opprutunity to try the shoes out. There's a metal loop hole near the top of the shoe and it broke immediately. It was a turn off for me anyways.

You'd think they'd be grateful for the opportunity to win something, period. Congrats to the winners. The rest of us will be expecting a review, complete with pics.

Its a fair question.
I didn't enter the contest but looking through the winner's responses and some of the others who didn't win, there really isn't anything that made them stick out more than the others, with the exception of a few that are really creative.
Its definitely a tough job to choose, But none the less congrats to everyone that won. Enjoy them!!
Just think they probably should have done a random drawing like they do for every other prize.
BIG thanks to FJ and golfwrx - I can't wait!!!

I don't think it is a "prize" like others that were given out with no strings attached.
Footjoy offered these shoes and in return will be expecting the "winners" to write a quality review that will make them feel worthwhile giving these shoes out. How would you think it would make the owners of this site look like if we have "winners" writing reviews like "ZOMG THESE SHOES ARE PWN AND FJs KICK ARSE!!" (ok, a little drastic but you get the idea) or worse yet completely skipping out on writing the review all together.
I believe the winners were picked based on if they feel the person have the ability to present a quality and unbiased review, not necessarily if the person "needs" a free pair of golf shoes.
I think a good majority of the people had the idea wrong to begin with thinking this was some type of charity.
I was excited to come up with something creative instead of just putting my keys in the fish bowl and hope to god the blonde in the corner likes ninja turtle sheets...
Fun contest! Can't wait for the next one!

That's what led me to asking. To me it seemed as an oppurtunity for some people to review the shoes, and was implied that you should say why you should get the oppurtunity to review them, not just "win" them.
No sour grapes, but I read all the entries, and only a couple out of the ones I would have picked actually did get picked.
There will be more contests after this one, there's always next time. I've been a member of this site for more than three years and this is the first time I won a giveaway, and I'm very thankful to GolfWRX and FootJoy for that.
What I am trying to say is more often then not you'll fail many more times than succeed, at contests and in life. The best advice I can give anyone is to forget about a bad performance this time around and look forward to the next one. The worst thing you can do is bad mouth a current contest, because that will deter companies from hosting future contests and it might tarnish your reputation.
Thats my $0.02

What a bogus contest...boohoo. Just kidding.
What an excellent opportunity for everyone. There's always sour grapes and you can't please everyone. Hell, I wish I had won, but doesn't mean I don't think it's cool for the people who did win. Congrats to all the winners and thanks to wrx and footjoy. You guys both rock.
I'm an A&M fan and you know what we say..."There's always next year."

My online "repuatation" is the least of my worries, haha. Let me guess, you also play World of Warcraft?
"Shadow of a country club" didn't win anything?
I don't play world of warcraft, too busy between golf and college.
Wow, this thread has taken a turn for the worse unexpectedly.
Thank you for the opportunity to review the shoes...I hope Foot-Joy finds the review helpful and informative.
Congratulations to the other winners and I hope the people that didn't get the opportunity to review this time are the first chosen for the next opportunity.

Mine showed up today. White lizard/ white smooth. Sharp looking shoe. I will post a full review with pictures and everything after I get to play. Hopefully the weather holds up on Tuesday, if so I will post it then.
