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.
PXG golf ball?
Talk of a PXG golf ball is filling the WRX forums.
TheChad003 posted the following picture with the caption, “This showed up at the golf course I used to work at, anyone heard of anything?”
“Very interesting. 300 dimples and larger in size obviously. Other Tour balls like the ProV1x, TPx, ZStar etc all have between 320-340 dimples. I am curious to see what this is all about.”
From price point to technology WRXers are eagerly talking about the Parsons ball.
Testers needed for Gear Trials!
For 2016, we’re going to have GolfWRX Members be our Gear Trials: Best Drivers testers. We’re going to handpick 15 of them — the most passionate GolfWRXers we can find who meet our criteria — for this unprecedented event.
Testing will take place on February 6, 2016 from 8 a.m., to 6 p,m., and will be hosted by Miles of Golf in Ypsilanti, Michigan. Its master club fitters will oversee the most objective, transparent driver test we could possibly design.
Each of the 15 GolfWRXers will be systematically fit by Miles of Golf’s expert fitters for the leading drivers. They’ll hit real golf balls on Trackman, and at the end of the day they’ll know what shaft, what head and what setting worked best for each of them. Best of all, each player’s data will be published for all to see.
Who’s coming? Of the 15 GolfWRX testers, we’re asking that 7-8 be able to provide their own transportation (a.k.a. live within driving distance of Ypsilanti) for the event, and we’re going to pay the way for the others to fly in from around the country.

Jordan Spieth’s new logo?
Staff photographer Greg Moore posted this shot of what is presumably Jordan Spieth’s new logo, spotted stitched onto the rear of his cap.
What’s the consensus on the design in the forums?
Check out the thread to find out.
Predicting next year’s major winners
It’s always fun to speculate. See who WRXers think will take next season’s most significant tournaments.
Surprisingly, nobody sees a Woodsian grand slam in the cards.
But if you do, be sure to let everyone in the forums know.
Could you make it to the Tour?
Ah, the eternal debate: If the stars were aligned, could you, with your 5 or 10 handicap, make it to tour?
CK2131 started the thread with the question: “If you had no responsibilities (kids, job, family, etc) and a bottomless bank account, do you think you could make it on tour? Also, how long do you think it would take?”
The responses are, predictably, fantastic, with most WRXers acknowledging that they wouldn’t have a prayer of making cuts on the PGA Tour, but there are some extreme optimists in the thread, who think they can Paper Lion it.
