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.

Discussing Jason Gore’s equipment…and Jason Gore chimes in!

So, our Tour photographer Greg Moore started a post about Jason Gore’s equipment and his switch to the new prototype Callaway XR 16 (with which he has picked up 18 yards).

It was already cool enough that Greg had been having a back-and-forth text and phone chat with a tour pro about his artillery, but the thread moved into the upper echelons of coolness when Jason Gore himself joined the conversation. 

Check it out.

And Jason Gore is participating in a live chat with GolfWRX members next Tuesday. You can submit questions via this thread, and if your question is answered, well, see below…

What putter did you just buy?

There are many threads in the GolfWRX forums you can return to again and again. The “What putter did you just buy?” thread is one of them for two reasons. One, you can see what GolfWRXers — some of the most discerning equipment buyers — are putting in their bags. Two, some grade-A putter pictures.

Have a look.

Scratch player with 700-yard advantage vs. Phil Mickelson. Who wins?

Obee started an interesting thread with this framing of the question above: “What do you think would happen? Would the scratch player stand a chance? What if it’s the scratch player’s home course and Mickelson has played it only one time previously?”

“Does the scratch player have any hope? If not, how many shots a side should he get from Mickelson to make it fair? Let’s say the course is rated 76 from the tees Phil is playing and 72 from the tees the scratch player is playing.”

The discussion is hot and so are the takes. Check it out.

Steph Curry’s family thinks he could be a pro golfer. Could he?

Chrismikayla started a thread referencing a story on The Post Game that says, which quotes the Warriors star’s father as follows. 

“He really could [play golf professionally],” says Dell, who played 16 NBA seasons as a guard/forward. “When we play, he hits balls and we go out and it’s three summers in a row he’s put up scores in the 60s.

“If Steph got a golf coach and practiced and put in the time like he does in basketball, he could play. He’s really good. He’s that good. He doesn’t miss a lot of shots, and when he does, he can recover. He thinks he can make any putt he stands over.”

Chrismikayla is incredulous and doesn’t think Curry has a shot. What do you think? Voice your opinion.

The worst shot you’ve ever seen!

Great thread here. Started by thatboygaule in November of 2014 and still going strong. And while there are eight pages of brilliant replies, gaule’s opener is pretty strong.

“…mine would have to a member be at my club a few weeks back. He shanked a driver, perpendicular to the hole, hits a rock and rockets 50 yards up and backwards next to the 18th . Here is my impression of it… 

Starts at X . blue arrow is direction of line and red is ball.”
