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.
Do you carry a lob wedge?
We’ve debated how many wedges merit inclusion among your 14 implements of destruction. This week, the question in more specific: Do you carry a lob wedge, or is something in the 56-degree range sufficient for your golfing needs? See what WRXers are saying and join the discussion.
Your best deal on apparel… ever!
Wanna gloat about your glorious apparel haul more smugly than the golf apparel-clad gent above? You’ve come to the right place. Although it’ll be tough to beat this find by Chilidog: “I got a Luke Donald used tour shirt with logos on it for the $9.99 opening bid because the guy couldn’t spell. He said it was a tuor used RXL shirt.”
Tuor! RXL! See the thread.
Why don’t you play a particular OEM?
On the heels of last week’s popular “Why do you play X manufacturer’s equipment” comes the inverse. Playa asks the opposite: “Why don’t you play a particular variety of equipment?” Beyond mere bashing particular OEMs, the thread is a look at what WRXers value and the subjective nature of equipment-related decisions. See the thread.
Pet peeves when watching golf on TV
Perhaps it’s because the “commentary-to-action” ratio is so much greater in golf than, say, basketball, that we’re keenly aware of the talking heads’ talking during golf telecasts. Commiserate with the forum faithful regarding the maddening, saddening elements of golf telecasts. See the thread.
One-liners from the senior set
Whether coming from the mouth of your grandpa proper or another gentleman in his golden years, it seems some of the best on-course humor comes from the oldest among, as brockgolf44 observes. He offers this bit his grandfather: “After I hit two in the water and proceeded to drop another ball. “Son, get in the cart…this is a smoke and drink hole.’” No shortage of these comedic gems from the AARP crew in this thread.
