So if you love golf, the GolfWRX forums are your sanctuary.
In the From the Forums weekly feature, we bring you the hottest, most buzz-worthy topics from our forums for your convenience. I’ll be your trusty tour guide to navigate the latest buzz.
Here’s a peek behind the curtain into golf’s sanctuary.

“I am drooling on Mizuno MP-100 irons not to use them to lower my scores but to enjoy them from time to time while amused by their look. Simply beautiful irons.
“Do you have irons that make you smile by just looking at them?”
It’s a great question, as aesthetics are a big reason why we get so excited about golf equipment (performance-related enthusiasm comes, obviously, after hitting a club).
Ben Hogan once said, “a golf club is like a piece of fine jewelry.”
See what “jewelry” has WRXers tongues wagging.

The sky is falling! Opinions were everywhere following Jordan Spieth’s opening-round, 8-over par 70 at Riviera yesterday. And while “it was just a bad day” is more than adequate explanation, WRXers, technically minded as they are, dug a little deeper.
Most of the takes are on the spectrum between “it was an off day” to “if he’s not putting and scrambling incredibly, he’s an average player.”
Further Brandel/Rory fitness talk

We ran a front-page piece the other day about Brandel Chamblee’s suggestions that Rory McIlroy may be off-base with his golf fitness.
A similar discussion cropped up in the forums, and it presently has 127 comments in just two days. It’s a hot discussion, and a good example of what WRXers are all about: Getting to the heart of issues in golf, whether it’s fitness or whether a club stands up to its billing and manufacturer’s claims.
Bernhard Langer’s new putting stroke

When the USGA’s anchoring ban went into effect/was adopted by professional golf tours, one of the questions golf fans were asking was, “How will those whose success is tied to the anchored putter fare?”
One of the most dominant anchorers on any tour, Bernhard Langer, completed a statement victory at the Chubb Classic. The win was his first without anchoring the putter. Langer has interestingly decided to continue using the long putter but isn’t pressing it to his body.
On the heels of much debate surrounding what the Champions Tour’s best player would do, the decision, and the result, were of no small interest to the WRX readership.
