2014 Southern Highlands Collegiate Masters Photos

Published

on

GolfWRX is live from the Southern Highlands Collegiate Masters at the Southern Highlands Golf Club in Las Vegas, Nev. The UNLV Rebels host a field of 15 teams at the 7510-yard par-72 course from Friday-to-Sunday for the 54-hole event. The tournament includes seven of the top-10 ranked teams in college golf, making it one of the strongest fields in college golf.

Alabama, ranked No. 1 by Golfweek,  comes to Las Vegas as the favorite with the No. 1 ranked individual golfer in the NCAA, senior Trey Mullinax. They were handed their first loss in 11-events at the SMU Querencia Cabo Collegiate by just one stroke to Houston on March 4.

Defending champion Patrick Rodgers, a junior from Stanford, makes his return this week as the No. 11-ranked college golfer according to Golfweek. At last year’s Collegeiate Masters, Rodgers won in a playoff over former California graduate Michael Kim, New Mexico graduate James Erckenbeck and Alabama’s Cory Whitsett.

Nine of the top 10 ranked individuals are in the field this weekend, making a title defense difficult for Rodgers.

Cal (No. 4) will look to defend their team title at the event against the 15-team field that includes Alabama (No. 1), Georgia Tech (No. 2), Oklahoma State (No. 3), Georgia (No. 5), Texas A&M (No. 7), Stanford (No. 9), Oklahoma (No. 14), Texas (No. 16), New Mexico (No. 18), UCLA (No. 19), Arizona State (No. 29), UNLV (No. 33), TCU (No. 42), Texas Tech (No. 49).

    Mostly Nike, Ping and Titleist in the bags there with a sprinkling of the others. Do a majority of these guys pick and pay for their own gear? If they do, kind of tells you who makes the best clubs instead of relying on the marketing dollar to give them the highest equipment counts.

      Nice first episode. I like the idea and what you guys are trynig to do. Hopefully local athletes will see that this could benefit them not only from learning from you guys but just getting the exposure. That could be huge.I thought the first episode was good. Like I told Adam, I appreciate the brutal honesty. Some people can’t take it but its what makes you a better person or athlete. Anything I can do to help, just say the word.

      ()We also have a eGroup mailing list once you have ddeceid to join the club please let me know if you would like to join that group it’s mainly used for pool announcements (ie bank holidays when the pool is closed) organising galas, lost property, and very importantly social events!BestCarolinePS If you come to swim on a Thursday night please think twice about bringing a bicycle there has been a lot of bike theft from outside the pool from local youths! If you do, make sure you bring two locks with you.

      wind blew hard for the 1st round, greens dried out a bit, so got faster and lots of rough.

  3. Great Pics

From the Forums: I need more forgiveness in my irons – Looking for recommendations

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been discussing the most forgiving irons currently on the market. WRXer ‘TheShark1’ is on the hunt for a new set of irons, saying:

“Currently gaming the Mizuno Pro 225’s but think I need more forgiveness in my irons. My well struck shots are real nice, but my mishits are not performing as good as I had hoped anymore. I really like hollow body irons so if I could find something more forgiving in a hollow body iron that would be great.

Open to any and all recommendations other than Ping. Can’t hit Ping irons at all.”

And our members have been sharing their best suggestions in our forum.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • AvidSwampThing66: “Another vote for the super forgiving and fast Paradym irons.   They look really good for being a GI iron.”
  • bobfoster: “I just went from MP20 MMCs to the new 245s in my scoring irons (just played my first round with them today). If you have a chance to try them, you might find them worth a serious look.”
  • vman: “Shoot me down, but spend the money on lessons.”
  • J_Tizzle: “i525s are great off the heel in my opinion.”
