Here’s a peek behind the curtain into golf’s sanctuary

The best lesson you’ve ever had?

A PGA Pro, user gjshakfranski from Minneapolis, started a thread to get member feedback about good golf lessons.

Shafranski writes: “As our season comes to a close up north each season, I do some reflection on my own teaching. In an effort to always improve as a teacher, I’m turning to the GolfWRX community to tell me about the best lesson(s) you’ve had. Could be due to any number of things:”

He then mentions a list of potential “things,” such as take-home notes and the use of technology.

The thread, which is only a few days old, is filled with responses painting with every color in the spectrum of good and bad lessons.

Check it out, and add to the discussion with your lesson experiences.

Debate: How would the Tour’s longest hitters fare in Long Drive competition?

WRXer david wayne started a thread devoted to the question, “How would the PGA Tour’s longest hitters do in Long Drive competition?”

The responses are interesting. Here’s one: J13 says, “The LD guys would destroy them in distance. Swing speed for DJ and Jason Day is around 120, swing speed for the top LD guys is 145-150mph. HUGE HUGE HUGE difference.”

And of course, there are those who argue we haven’t seen Day or Johnson’s maximum swing speed, as they’re never swinging out of their shoes in competition.

Interesting discussion. Check it out and weigh in.

Professional golf analyst: Caddies are “glorified pull carts”

According to minitour, Chris DiMarco, Golf Channel analyst and former PGA Tour pro, agreed with the sentiment voiced by a SiriusXM co-host that caddies are “glorified pull carts.”

How do you feel about the demeaning take, which echoes ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith’s sentiments the other day?

Looking at the thread, while a few forumites are appalled by the assessment, many more find a real measure of truth in the characterization.

What do you think? Weigh in.

Scotty Cameron putter buffet at Sanderson Farms Championship

We’ve said it before, we’ll say it again. Our Tour equipment photography is the best in the business…by far. Greg Moore capturers hundreds of unique images nearly every week from tour stops.

This week, he shot a veritable cornucopia of tour issue Scotty Camerons that you ought to feast on immediately.

Do you carry a club that you never hit?

Here’s an interesting (if trivial) question to wrap up FTF this week: Is there a club in your bag you seem like you never end up hitting?

In an ideal world, a golfer will derive utility from all 14 of his/her weapons. Practically, however, that’s often not how it works out.

For example, as conrad 1953 says, “I rarely almost never ever hit my 4 wood. I usually will hit a hybrid instead. I go home most times and clean my clubs after the round and don’t bother even pulling the head cover off my 4 wood.”
