User Warrick tells a tale of his strangest find (and likely some disappointed stoners). A fantastic thread rounding up some of the most absurd finds from the golf course. See the thread.

Most Significant Tournament Missing from Tiger’s Resume?

Certainly, there are no “holes” on Tiger Woods’ resume from the junior to the professional level, per se. But if you had to pick out a tournament Woods would like to have on his curriculum vitae, what would it be? Plenty of good discussion in this one. See the thread.

You Know You’re Old When…

Beyond watching casual 20-year-old golfers ripping it over 300 yards with ease, there are no shortage of golf-related reminders that we’re not as young as we once were. For WRXer Night Train, who started the thread, his notice was served when his son, a casual golfer, told him his average 7-iron carry. See the thread.

Your In-Season Workout Routine

WRXer Radiman tells his story of weight loss and getting in better shape for golf, but as he says, “I find is that playing within two days of my last workout has proven to be disastrous.” Thus, he wonders how others in the WRX community workout during the golf season. Excellent discussion, here. See the thread.

    900 forged isn’t game improvement. That’s a low-mid capper iron.

      My experiences led me to believe that the Apex’s are more forgiving than the 900 forged. I own the latter because I liked the looks better and assumed I could just improve my ball striking. Classic mistake. Still both great irons but if you don’t have time to practice– I’d recommend Apex.

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.
