The GolfWRX forums exist so golfers have access to the latest equipment releases, hottest discussions, real equipment reviews, best instruction, new technologies and everything golf you can imagine. 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.
What rules would you add to the Rules of Golf?
FinleySG writes: Seriously, are there any additional rules you would add to the rule book? I actually have two.
- Lines on the ball are no longer allowed. Golf ball manufacturers may not apply their logo in a straight line. Players may not draw a line longer than 1/4″ on the ball.
- Caddies may not align their player. No caddie is allowed to stand behind the player when s/he addresses the ball.
Interesting potential additions. And even in an environment of relaxed rules initiatives, these make sense as their violation undermines the spirit of other rules. What do you think? Let us know in the thread.
Giveaway: What driver shaft are you playing?
For the folks that signed up for our Equipment Testing Panel, we present a great giveaway. Answer the following questions in this thread, and you could be one of five winners chosen:

- What shaft are you gaming? (manufacturer, model, flex, weight, tipping)
- What’s your current ball flight?
- Average driving distance?
- Are you happy with this current shaft?
- If chosen, do you agree to test the new shaft and participate in an ongoing review thread with other GolfWRX members?
Playing partner pet peeves?
You can’t tell them, so why not tell us? Credit to JD3 kicking off this thread so that we can air our grievances about our playing partners. He mentions golfers that leave price stickers on their clubs as particularly bothersome. Another user said golfers who choose clubs hoping for miracles, rather than something more realistic, irk him.
Me? How about when you hit, look over, and the next member up in your group is yet to start his elaborate pre-shot routine… Share your playing partner pet peeves.

Rory’s outfit
The GolfWRX forums aren’t often the place for hot fashion-related threads (and they’re better for it, certainly). But Rory’s outfit at the first round of The Players has generated some discussion (as Nike surely hoped it would). The jogger era may be upon us.
With 80 replies in the first five hours since posting, GolfWRX members have a lot to say about Mr. McIlroy’s attire. Weigh in.
