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.

Rickie’s Cobra King 3-iron

Our staff photographer spotted Rickie Fowler gaming a Cobra King Utility 3-iron at the Hero World Challenge. No word on product details, but we’ve got some awesome shots of this adjustable iron that you have to check out.

Have a look at several shots of Rickie’s new weapon.

“TaylorMade sold” talk

Speculation about the demise of TaylorMade seem to emerge weekly. Gossiping like old ladies and offering perspectives on the rumor mill is part of what makes the GolfWRX forums fun (and as a bonus: some of the members know what they’re talking about!).

“I call on Adidas Golf as a customer. I was there today doing routine calls and when working on some programs for 2017 apparel for them, I was told by my contact (who is a good friend as well) that I shouldn’t bother. She informed me that word just came down that Taylormade has been sold (wouldn’t let me know who even though I am still prodding her for info) and that they are going through the good faith measurement right now of opening the books. She said they were also informed that Adidas Golf would scale back and would be a much smaller team. She said Adidas is reorganizing to be more soccer and urban wear focused and will be chopping SG&A out of the business. She said that I should see an announcement around the PGA show in January if all the books look ok.”

Confession: ‘I only play 12 clubs’

A few weeks back in FTF, we brought you a thread discussing the unused club in your golf bag. This week, in a desperate bid for camaraderie and reassurance, user BobDoo posted he only uses 12 clubs: Driver, 5-wood, 4-iron through pitching wedge, 52-degree wedge, 58-degree wedge, putter.

Perspectives varied from “I do the same thing” to “I only play nine,” to traditionally 14-clubbers in the interesting discussion that ensued.

Do you play fewer than 14 clubs? Want to weigh in? Here’s the thread.

Golf’s most famous putter

We’re talking about the physical flatstick, here.

jrich61820 asked the question: What’s the most famous putter in the history of the game? He proposes a few: Bobby Jones’ Calamity Jane. The MacGregor Jack Nicklaus won the ‘86 Masters with. Arnold Palmer’s Wilson 8802. Tiger Woods Scotty Cameron Newport 2.

The discussion expands into the historical significance of various putter models and their influence (such as the Ping Anser).

It’s a great debate. And if you love golf, you’ll likely want to add your two cents.

Equipment free agency chatter

We brought you a front page feature on equipment/sponsorship free agency rumors as we enter the new year. And while the discussion in the comment section of that post is lively, it’s nothing compared to the chatter in the forum thread dedicated to the topic.

Further, the thread predated the front page post and will be a scorching paradise of hot takes long after traffic to the front page story has dried up.
