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.

Best driver for less than $100?

callaway-big-bertha-alpha-1021x580WRXer Checkswing is looking for a classic driver in the $100 range to build a backup bag. Callaway 815? Titleist 910D2? A ton of great suggestions in this fun trip down early-2010s big stick memory lane. See the thread.

What’s your grip setup?

An important part of anyone’s golf equipment preferences, but one that’s largely superseded by, say, sexy new drivers: grip and tape preferences. One wrap? Two raps? 10 wraps high with 5 wraps low? Safranic03 started this excellent thread asking WRXers for their grip and tape preferences. And as you would expect, there’s a wide range of responses. See the thread.

An apparel tradition unlike any other…

SPIETH-MASTERS_TW-format-990x512

The Masters is right around the (Amen) corner (sorry). And with the arrival of the first major of the year, apparel companies are releasing the scripting for their stars. Perhaps you’re curious what the likes of Dustin Johnson and Rickie Fowler will be wearing? Perhaps you’d like to criticize what Dustin Johnson and Rickie Fowler will be wearing? Perhaps you passionately don’t care what Dustin Johnson and Rickie Fowler will be wearing?

This thread covers the full range of responses. A great thread before the first balls are in the air down in Georgia. See the thread.

Rangefinders on Tour

Several professional tours will begin beta testing, if you will, the use of rangefinders during tournament play. As you can imagine, this long-time hot-button issue is drawing a range of responses from the pros…and even more from the GolfWRX forum faithful! See the thread.

Thrift store jackpot!

What’s more glorious than finding the club barrel at the thrift store and seeing it full of forged-and-persimmon goodness? All the better when you spot a full set of, say, 1980s Hogans or similar. Well, Juice_25 looks to have hit the absolute motherload with his recent thrift excursion.

If you want to see the haul he made off with, as well as discuss your own thrift store glories, see the thread.

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.
