From the forums: What’s buzzing on GolfWRX this week
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.
Huge gallery of pictures from Butch Harmon’s Golf School
And speaking of fantastic shots, our staff photographer, Greg Moore, just visited Butch Harmon’s place in Las Vegas and uploaded a buffet of incredible images. If you’re a golf memorabilia enthusiast, brace yourself.
As Greg said in the thread: “I have worked in golf for 46 years. I have been to a lot of cool places and met a lot of interesting people…Butch is the coolest guy I’ve ever met and his studio was the coolest place!”
Your biggest sleeper club?
AceDad kicked of a thread by posing an interesting question: “What was the one club that surprised you this year that ended up in your bag?”
The responses and the discussion are, of course, interesting. WRXers named clubs as diverse as:
- G25 pitching wedge
- Cobra Trusty Rusty 49* that I got bent to 50*
- Sonartec MD hybrid
Check out the thread and add your sleeper.
Club you regret losing the most?
TinkDog started an awesome thread with this post:
“Inspired by the worst club ever thread started by wombat_vortex and my current ongoing search for a fairway wood that’ll do everything I need I wondered: what is the one club you regret losing the most?”
“It might be a club that broke after 15 years of hard service, one that got stolen or one you misguidedly sold…For me it has to be my old Nike VR_S 4 wood. Was fitted with a Matrix Radix 6X shaft and played at 42″. It was a beast.”
The replies are fantastic.
Check out the thread and perhaps shed a tear for the dearly departed weaponry.
Fourteen RM-22 wedges and Fourteen TC770 irons
We have some fantastic shots of the the new Fourteen RM-22 wedges and Fourteen TC770 irons.
Check them out in this thread!
Hot takes aplenty! WRXers weigh in on Sammy Schmitz’ GoFundMe
You’ve probably heard about Sammy Schmitz, U.S. Mid-Am champion, and his GoFundMe page to fund his Masters preparation.
If you haven’t, I wrote about it here.
Opinions range from:
HoffTTM: “30 grand? How is that sum justified to travel down there 2 or 3 times and play a couple of practice rounds?”
to
Freddy1682: “Seriously? Are there actually people out there that have an issue with this??”
to
Tuckman: “Sounds like they are milking it as much as possible. They will probably rent a house for masters week which will be several grand alone. Flights for several practice rounds and family expenses will add up quick. I’d be embarrassed to do that, but some people have no shame in taking handouts.”
It’s a heated debate about a nuanced issue. You’ll definitely want to check out the thread.

What GolfWRXers are saying about Kevin Kisner’s new Callaway X Forged CB irons
In our forums, our members have been discussing Kevin Kisner’s new Callaway X Forged CB irons which he has in the bag at this week’s CJ Cup. WRXers have been commenting on the switch and the clubs themselves in our forums.
For lots more photos, check out the full thread here.
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.
- btyh: “Holy offset.”
- Glf_LU: “These are interesting. Not going to make a rush to judgement until I see them in person. It does look like a little more offset than I would expect to see in this model.”
- bcflyguy1: “Kisner is not one to make a lot of equipment changes (see the GBB driver he’s still using), so if these do have staying power in his bag that will be interesting to see. I have to wonder if there’s something different about his set, because like others have mentioned there appears to be more offset on his than I recall seeing in the samples I’ve had in hand.”

WATCH: PGA Tour players play hole blindfolded and it’s hilarious/amazing
As part of a Srixon campaign, four PGA Tour players recently participated in a three-hole challenge, with each hole being a different game; hole No. 1 was blindfolded, hole No. 2 was costumes and distractions, and hole No. 3 was alternate shot with a baseball bat. The teams were Smylie Kaufman and Sam Ryder against Shane Lowry and Grayson Murray.
Watch the full video below, since it is quite entertaining (albeit not the type of golf that Old Tom Morris surely had in mind), but in particular, make sure to check out the first hole where Lowry and Ryder play a full hole completely blind folded. It’s amazing to watch how badly Ryder struggles, and how Lowry nearly makes par.
What happens when 4 #PGATOUR pros take a day off?
Luckily, the cameras were rolling.
Watch @shanelowrygolf, @graysonmurray, @smyliekaufman10, and @samrydersu in #SrixonVS. pic.twitter.com/C4LJwQgmZ7— Srixon (@SrixonGolf) June 25, 2018
Cleveland-Srixon’s marketing department has been hard at work crafting these viral-esque ad campaigns; if you remember, former long-drive champion Jamie Sadlowski recently dressed as 80-year-old Grandpa Jamie to fool range-goers. That video has since gathered over 1.2 million views on YouTube.
