Jason Dufner’s high-tech ball-marking device
Tour photographer Greg Moore started this thread in 2012, and we’re not sure if this is still how Duf is marking his Titleist, but you have to check it out. A great example of the sort of inside-the-ropes stuff GolfWRX delivers with our weekly photos and comments in the forums.
In 2006, my irons were…
Awesome thread here started by Nudga. And while we could dress it up, the topic is pretty self-explanatory. You’ve gotta check it out to see what WRXers were gaming 10 years ago.
Tiger Woods: The only golf course designer who gets it?
Frankensteins Monster writes:
I watched the news conference about Bluejack. Some of the things he, his team, and the owners built are fabulous. The course has a short par 3 course. That course has lights on it for nighttime golf. The main course is set up so that balls have a hard time getting lost. It’s open but not a swing for the fences from wherever you are. The facility also has a wiffle ball field! In a time when the game is contracting, and you still have the likes of Nicklaus building courses harder and harder, and taking a minimum of six hours for a round, it’s a breath of fresh air to see a designer actually try to grow the game and attempt to make it a family event.
Woods’ design at Bluejack is getting a lot of attention for the designer’s inclusive approach to building a facility. Obviously, Bluejack exists within a larger community, so that accounts for some of the wealth of extras. However, Woods’ targeting of playability and family inclusiveness is rightfully noteworthy.

Life of a conditional Web.com Tour member
Really interesting stuff from user GolfingBro (Matthew Hansen), who is a conditional member on the Web.com Tour. Matthew Hansen was kind enough to start a thread in mid-February that’s swelled to seven pages long. Here’s a brief snippet from his introduction discussing his road in golf
“So back to more mini tour stuff for awhile. In spring I went thru Canadian tour Q school (now called the MacKenzie tour) and was successful in getting my card. I spent the summer on the tour and played all the events but 1. I guess I had an okay rookie year but I missed keeping my card by $900 Canadian which was frustrating. I missed 4 cuts by 1 stroke, that was rough.”

Patrick Reed’s custom Bettinardi wedge
Patrick Reed is a Callaway staffer. Thus, it’s interesting to see him with a 60-degree Bettinardi wedge in the bag at this week’s WGC-Cadillac Championship. Good eye by Greg Moore for spotting this custom beauty in P. Reed’s golf bag.
