Recapping the Wonders of The Kingdom Trip
Want to know what it was like for five lucky WRXers to experience the following?
- All-expenses paid trip to TaylorMade HQ in Carlsbad, Calif.
- Club fitting at the Kingdom, TaylorMade’s exclusive on-site fitting facility.
- Meet and greet with TaylorMade’s product, marketing and R&D teams for deep-dives.
- Golf outing with TaylorMade and GolfWRX teams at Aviara with TaylorMade’s new drivers and TP5/TP5X golf balls.
On occasion, sponsors offer unbelievable opportunities and giveaways to the WRX readership. Needless to say, the opportunity to get the red-carpet treatment at TaylorMade HQ is a list-topper.

$800 to spend on irons for a high handicapper
A good question, this one. The aptly named TheSliceKing asks: “With $800 to spend, what are the best irons for high-handicappers?” We’ll beat the comedians to the punch on this one: “lessons.” Anyway, the forum faithful think the King will be able to find something more than serviceable with money to spare. See the replies.
Entering 6-hybrid territory
A woeful meditation on the passage of time! Cardoustie (one of the last to get on the hybrid train, he says) waxes poetically about how well he’s hitting his 5-hybrid. He wonders if perhaps a 6-hybrid could be in his future, saying “big single malt needed tonight to bring some manliness back.”

Latest player discontents
Leave it to dear Richard to spit fire and talk truth about the form (and substance, to a degree) of some recent player complaints.
To see what has Forged4Ever fired up, and for some vintage back-and-forth thereafter, check out the thread.
Fowler’s shorter driver
One of the equipment stories of this young 2016-2017 PGA Tour season: Rickie Fowler’s switch to a shorter driver at the Honda Classic, which paid immediate dividends in the form of, well, generally top-notch driving and a winning performance.
Plenty of discussion about Rickie’s shorter Cobra King F7+ in particular and cutting a couple of inches off in general. See the thread.
