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.
Stenson didn’t win the gold medal, but he did get a golden putter…
As some putter manufacturers are wont to do (see Ping’s Gold Putter Vault), Odyssey made this commemorative gold White Hot XG #7 for the Champion Golfer of the Year, Henrik Stenson. So, while Stenson was only able to capture a silver medal in Rio, he now has a golden putter — and a major victory, too. A nice 2016 so far for the Swede. See all the photos in this unique-to-GolfWRX thread.
PXG 2017 speculation
Speculation is a big part of the sports world, no doubt. And within the golf industry and the subset of equipment nuts, speculation about upcoming gear releases is a big thing, as a quick tool through the GolfWRX forums reveals.
This “What will PXG’s 2017 lineup look like?” thread is a perfect example of the sort of informed conjecture you can find in the forums regarding upcoming releases.
Also, could Tiger Woods be signing with PXG? Join that discussion here.
Accessories you would never use
Let’s be clear. While EmperorPenguin cites high-handicappers as the offending parties, these crimes against golf don’t necessarily have anything to do with handicap.
EmperorPenguin writes: “We see them all the time. There are particular accessories that low-handicappers would never use, and that if you have them you are likely a hacker. These are the accessories that first come to mind.
- plastic golf tubes
- large plastic iron head covers
- two gloves
- stroke counter
What else did WRXers add to the list? See the thread to find out.
And “extendable ball retriever” absolutely has to be on the list…the longer, the better.
Thoughts on the Smylie Kaufman-Natty Light partnership
With his frat boy looks and SB2K16 antics, Smylie Kaufman has brought some, well, collegiate bro-ishness to the PGA Tour. It was only natural (sorry, had to) that Natural Light — the unofficial pilsner of beer pong at institutions of higher learning across our great nation — would sign Smylie to endorse its product. But really, the pairing is an interesting one, as alcohol sponsors are relatively few on the PGA Tour, as are “sorry for partying” mentalities.
Hot takes aplenty as WRXers weigh in on Natty-throned Smylie.
