FTF: WRXers call Varner to dab, Height/Putter discussion

Published

on

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.

They were calling for the dab in forums…

User Llortamaisey started a thread with this post:

Dear Harold Varner III:

“I know you read GolfWRX so I wanted to send out a request for this week’s tournament. Would you please put on a Cam Newton jersey on the 16th hole and dab your way to the green. The Panthers need this. Cam needs this. Golf needs this.”

Now, we can’t confirm HVIII reads WRX. However, we can confirm that he did indeed dab it up at the 16th.

See the thread  for a full discussion of the etiquette of dabbing in golf.

The great debate: Where do your clubs live in the winter?

The car? The garage? Elsewhere in the house?

New user BonziGolf decided to make his first post a memorable one with this gem: “Keep them by your bed to annoy your significant other and remind them that golf season is right around the corner

Offer your take in the thread.

Height/ putter length discussion 

ck putter

A topic you’re unlikely to see discussed in such detail anywhere else: User kidkendo started the thread by indicating that he’s 6-feet tall and plays a 34-inch putter. Then he asked what other WRXers are gaming and what height they are.

This, of course, led into the discussion of wrist-to-floor measurements as dictator of club length versus personal preference. And personal preference is at a premium with the putter more so than any other club in the bag.

It’s an interesting discussion and one’s that’s seen a ton of traffic and replies in the few days since the first post.

Check it out.

Reactions to Bubba’s latest…

You can always find chatter about the hot topics in the world of pro golf in the GolfWRX forums. User imakaveli linked the Golf Channel report about Bubba’s Watson’s curious comments at the Waste Management Phoenix Open.

Q: Why do you like this golf course?

His answer: “I don’t like it. I’m not going to be PC it. I don’t like it at all. I just mentioned why I’m here. I’ve got three beautiful sponsors that love it here.”

Predictably, users had a bevy of hot takes on the latest example of “Bubba being Bubba.”

    At the risk of upsetting golfwrx’er “Steve” for my less than stellar comments/opinions about his hero Sergio Garcia, I’ll keep my true venom to myself in regards to fan “un”favorite crybaby Blubber, yes,
    Blubber “after I win any tournament” Watson. Another ungrateful, entitled, spoiled, 1%’er, childish,
    overpaid whiner! Sick of these clowns!! Oops, sorry Steve, I couldn’t help myself and the spitting monster got out. I’ll try harder next time not to offend you, his fans, or interested family members. May you post a triple digit score this weekend!

    Cheers

Why Ludvig Aberg is my new favorite player – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been discussing one of the new sensations in the world of golf – Ludvig Aberg. The 24-year-old finished solo second at the Masters a couple of weeks ago, and gained many plaudits, including from several WRXers.

One member, RoyalMustang, took to the forums to explain why Aberg is now their favorite player, saying:

“I loved the way the Ludvig was out there, having a great time, not taking himself or the situation too seriously. Even after the double at 11, he was like “well, that’s golf!” Loose and relaxed: that’s the way to play. It’s obvious he loves what he’s doing, he loves the big moments, and he loves being a part of it all.

Arnold Palmer was viewed that way. Just like Brooks Robinson was forever viewed as not just a great baseball player, but a great human being and friend to Baltimore.”

And our members have been reacting and sharing their positive takes on the young Swede.

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.

  • redfirebird08: “Ludvig has a great attitude, a great smile, and a great golf swing.”
  • otto6457: “I’m very lucky to have talked with Ludde several times at the Rawls Course at Texas Tech.  He’s a truly nice guy and very friendly.  Always said hello when we passed each other in the club house and was always smiling. Watching him hit balls on the range was a joy.  He has “that sound” and trajectory to die for.  There were many times he was out on the range in 30+ mph winds just hitting the most beautiful shots that just seemed to ignore the wind.  World class ball striker. And yes……..I am a fan boy.”
  • konklifer: “I like him. In an era of endless waggles and laboring, his swing and pace of play are a joy to watch.
