Bespoke Bobby Jones putter experience

Forum giveaways are one of the best parts of GolfWRX. It’s our chance to spread the love to our members via the newest, coolest golf equipment. Here’s an update from the winner of a bespoke Bobby Jones putter.

After being selected I was put in contact with Dave Billings, the CEO of Dogleg Right. We emailed back and forth a few times and eventually spoke on the phone to get the process started. Dave couldn’t be a nicer guy. We discussed my current gamer and if I would be using the new putter to play with or just as a piece of artwork. This was just the start. The options Dave has available are truly limitless. It began to get a little overwhelming, I have never really thought about a putter this much. Dave basically said he could make me anything I wanted (which is absolutely incredible).

It has been a couple of months since the giveaway and Dave at Dog Leg Right is starting to make some serious progress. There was a slight delay in the raw material delivery, but throughout the process Dave has been great to work with. I still cannot believe the level of service I am receiving, especially since I am not paying for it. If anyone is lucky enough to be able to afford a custom piece from Dave I would high recommend it.

Big spending on golf equipment?

Everyone here knows that there are several varieties of addiction in golf. Two of the most common: Addiction to playing the game and addiction to buying the stuff you use to play the game.

Regarding the latter point, a GolfWRX member started a thread asking why golfers overspend on golf equipment, calling it a waste of money. Of course, the arguments on the defense are both well-formulated and entertaining.

Check out the full debate here, it’s a must-read. 

Best 3-wood to hit off the deck?

Here’s a great discussion around the question, “Which 3-wood is the best to hit from the fairway?”

Post your wedge setups!

User jsunder asked WRXers to post their wedge setups, and the range of what forums readers are gaming is interesting. Everything from uniformity in brand to a hodge podge of manufacturers, to some sick custom jobs.

Check out the wedges.

Custom Scottsdale Anser

Yoder9339 showcased a nasty custom item he snagged through Morton Golf’s Ping WRX program. Yoder wrote that he was “Inspired by the other putters posted previously.” And the putter features “central TR grooves and a sight dot. Weights added to get head weight to 360 grams.”

New Cobra prototype wedge for Rickie Fowler

Rickie Fowler, no stranger to custom wedges and iron jobs, is gaming this sweet 62-degree Cobra prototype.

Check out the thread for more photos and to see what members are saying.

How was Gary Player so good?

Littleinjunp kicked off a thread with an unflattering characterization of the Black Knight. Predictably, users didn’t respond kindly initially, but an interesting discussion eventually developed.

The initial post: “5’2, 120 with one of the sloppiest swings you’ll ever see. Has there ever been a more unlikely superstar athlete in the history of sports?”

Of course, as many users pointed out, Player stands 5 feet 6 inches and weighs 160 lbs.

Some of the more interesting takes in the discussion

LittleLefttoRight: You could say the same thing about Spieth these days. Compared to guys like Day and Rory he can barely hit it out of his shadow.

Doesn’t really matter though because the trophy goes to the last man standing even if that man has to be on his tiptoes to see over the podium. Golf is an interesting sport that way.
