Here’s a peek behind the curtain into golf’s sanctuary.
Good talk around Sports Illustrated cover
The cover above prompted a discussion about Tiger Woods’ place in the golf world and the post-Tiger era. Duffer 987 offered this tough take, “And that [the cover/headline] tells you everything you need to know about the state of golf in the consciousness of sports fan….Once Tiger is well and truly out of the picture, golf can return to the backwaters of pro sports, somewhere a notch above tennis,” which jumpstarted things.
Dave 230 offered this, “Jason Day wins two events in a row to go number 1. SI response – rehashed Tiger story. How will golf ever progress?”
Solid takes. Good discussion. See the thread.

Tour pros love the GolfWRX Season Opener chip!
Our founder started a thread to share some exciting news. Greg Moore, our Tour photographer, who’s on Tour providing the best equipment photos on the Internet has confirmed that big time Tour pros are loving the GolfWRX Season Opener chip. Adam Scott, Bubba Watson, and Jordan Spieth all have them.
To see who else Greg’s passed them along to, check out the thread.
Wishon single length iron discussion
With Bryson DeChambeau’s rise to prominence and impending professional debut, his single-length irons have been much discussed in the golfing world. Tom Wishon’s company is bringing a single length iron set to market, and this fact has led to shortage of discussion in the forums.
If you’re considering the single length option and want to see what WRXers are saying about single length clubs in general and Wishon’s Sterling model in particular, see the thread.
Jason Day’s back injury news leads to “pitfalls of the modern golf swing” discussion
Jason Day is dealing with a disc issue that resulted in severe back spasms during his opening match at last week’s WGC-Dell Match play. Day’s difficulties compelled instructor and forum stalwart Monte Scheinblum to posit that Day is “another victim of restricting hip rotation” (a hallmark of the “modern” golf swing).
A thought-provoking take that merits further examination. The thread has grown to 10 pages in the week since Scheinblum kicked it off, so “further examination” is exactly what Scheinblum, and others, are engaging in.
