Isn't it strange that even when people get something for nothing they still complain? Maybe they need a little cheese with that whine. Keep up the good work. Bob David 22383002

I have been a member for over 8 years and have never won anything... The monthly news letter has stopped showing up. The test program has never been anything better than golf balls... I still think it is an opportunity and will keep trying, but I don't see any winners posted since Oct/Nov of 07'? Where is at least Dec/Jan... R Huskey - Life Member

I have been a member since 2004 and have never won anything. I have recieved one sleeve of Nike golf balls and a piece of plastic you stick in the end of your club to help your swing (it kept poking me in the ribs and snagging on my shirt) as test products. I would like to test something else that I can't loose or stabs me when I swing. Otherwise...great info on web site. Thanks. Jeffreydog-Life Member

Been a life member since 2001 and have never won anything. I have continually sent in cards, answered requests, etc. to test products for Tour Partners and have only received one sleeve of golf balls in the 7 years I have been a life member. I wonder how many of the winners are "real people"? Chuck

I once held a tournament at my club where the entry fee was filling out a personal information form. There were many flights and great prizes (Sets of woods, golf bags, shoes, etc.) I could not believe the complaints I received after the tournament was over. It seems like I'm hearing the same type of whining here. Shame on those who complain about getting free stuff.

I just became a member and frankly it scares me to hear all of the complaints I wish I had access to these complaints before. Now I am feeling that I just paid $24 for golf balls I haven't even received yet. Also, I noticed my 2 year membership expires 1 year and 9 monthes from the time I paid.

I can understand the frustration out there. I was a Charter Member, then Life member since '97 and my name has never been pulled as one of select few either and when it comes to the Test Program my luck is even worse. I have tested a Tac Cloth for your grips and was sent a Power Bar you ate, and through the years my handicap has changed from a 21 to an 8, but never once durring that time was I selected to try any clubs because my handicap improved either. Now three years after a head-on car accident I'm just happy to be alive an able to play the game, and if they pull my name now, then I just won the lotto! Keep your chins up & your heads still, you never know what lies ahead! One other thing, if you don't get the satifaction your'e looking for here, call them, they have an eight hundred number!

A charter member since January 1999, I would advise those who are disgruntled, and those responsible for the operation of the club, that the problem stems from several clueless employees working at the Minnetonka, Minnesota club-members customer service office. Yes, over the years, I have received two packages of two golf-balls each, and a few of those brush tees to test. For those who wonder whether they were suppose to get a free golf bag or other expensive premiums, to my recollection is that no such promises were ever made. I have purchase a Burton golf bag, and a couple of articles of clothing, and I am proud to wear them at Sam's Club or at courses. Even after writing a complaint directed specifically at Tom Lehman, nothing has changed at Minnetonka, and I have two other life-time memberships (handled by the same facilities) and nothing will ever change until the various sports-oriented clubs move their business out of Minnetonka. Thanks for listening! Does anyone need a fourth?

Why is it that very few (and I mean very few) women are selected to test the really nice products like the Callaway clubs, Cleveland wedges, Hi-Bore drivers, etc., etc., etc.????? I've been a lifetime member since 2001. The only great item I've gotten to test was a pair of ECCO golf shoes, which I still have, still wear. They're great! Other than that the rest of the stuff could have just stayed in someone's warehouse, but I tested away, sent in my evaluations, but never saw a single evaluation on any of them in the magazine. Why?

I have been a life membr since 98 and enter the sweepstakes every day all I got was to test is golf balls and some kind of pain relief cream. But what really makes me made is that everytime I email the club , I get no response and I gotta call every year for my Tournament pass, this year they took the Pennsylvania tournament off the pass, what's up with that. Boy, when they wanted me to join it was like they were giving you the world, but the service after sucks.

LOL.... I think I will throw my .02 cents in too! I have been a life member since 1997 and as far as I'm concerned the few and I mean few test products I have received total value may reach $10 - $15 net worth at best. I have received more items to review and mail back if I don't want to buy them outright, (Teaching CD's etc.) then adds and contests from publishers clearing house. I do enjoy the partners club magazine but the price of a life membership I'll have to live to 85 befor it pays for itself. I guess the odds of receiveing a driver, putter or evean a set of woods has the same odds as winning the publishers clearing house, Wayne H

I agree with a lot of members. Why have" try outs" at all since so few get them or not get the same value. Why not put everything together and work it like the contests ? You can still require feedback and if the prize does not exceed ,say, $50.00, keep that person"s name in the pot. If you win a value of over $50 you can't win again for 1 or 2 years. Something needs to be done to make it more fair. Also where's the list of winners for the Sept. 1st/08 drawings ?

It's amazing how many people complain about a free contest just because they don't win! I really get a kick out of someone complaining that few *women* win a prize or get a top-of-the-line test product. Could it be that the club is comprised mostly of men?!?! Hmmmm... And she complains after getting a pair of golf shoes, sorry but that's better than 90% of the other test products. I've tested golf software (which wasn't very good), "wind" screen from a one application packet and golf balls. I know my comments weren't printed because they were sometimes negative when the product IMO was not worthwhile. They only print positive comments, most of which matches the marketing language on the box or magazine ad. I wouldn't exactly call it a "test" product since according to the reviews they publish, everything works as well or better than adcertised, which is not the case IMO. I might be a little suspect if the same people were winning all the prizes. If you look at the winners, only two people have won more than once and one of the prizes they each won was a dozen golf balls. FWIW, I've been a member of the Partners program since it started and a Life Member since that membership became available (1997, I believe).

I'm not complaning about not winning anything, and even though i have not received anything to test,theonly thing I don't understand is the contests. Seems like every time I try to enter I get a message that only one entry per day. I try to enter usaully first thing in the morning and cannot get posted as entry accepted, just only one entry per day, and it's the first time I've tried to register. So what's up with that?

Have been a member since 2004 and a USGA member since 2005. If I win something or get to try out a new product, that is a bonus. I enjoy the magazine and the articles. Why not a life member, that at my age, life is just a little too short. I will always stay a member as long as I golf. I just wish that the club would post winners sooner. Those that complain just don't see the real benefits of golf and the friends one finds on the course.

I check the winners list every so often, and they never seem to change. How often do you update the lists? Also there is no one listed for the great golf getaway for the last couple of contests. I have been a life member for quite a while, and the club seems to be getting worse not better. I read the complaints from other members and they don't ever seem to change. I know that running the club is pretty hard work, but it seems that you're not doing anything. The way the club is being run I' like to get the h--- out! You have the people to update the web site, how about doing it on a timely manner so that members get true and up to date information!

Oh, been a life member since 2000, member since '97 I think. I've tested a few products, even a Gorilla driver last year. The only thing I really have a complaint about is that there is no information regarding discount playing costs. We used to have a link with Golf Access years ago, but now I can't get any information regarding these discounts. Can anyone help??

For all of you that are complaining and whining that you don't win anything.... T.S! Go play the lottery and see what your chances are! If you joined to just try to win stuff, shame on you. The web site is great (although the REMEMBER ME box never works), the discounts are good, and the magazine is amazing. I have been a life member since 1997 and I never won anything and only tested two products. SO WHAT?!? There are hundreds of thousands of members, and not everyone can win. Get over it and enjoy what you can from the club.

Life member since 1998..never won anything and never received a test product valued more than $12. All junk stuff that a golfer would be a fool to buy or use. The laws of averages would lead you to believe that just once I'd kuck out and receive a freebie that was worth using. Yes, I didn't join for freebies......but you'd think a long time member would receive something decent to test.
