WRX Forum Buzzz
FTF: Who’ll have the better career, Justin Thomas or Jordan Spieth?
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 peek behind the curtain into golf’s sanctuary.
Jordan Spieth vs. Justin Thomas
Here’s one from the Ultimately Pointless but Nevertheless Interesting files. Cwin asks: When their respective careers are done and the days of SB2K grow small in their respective rearview mirrors, who will have had the better career: Jordan Spieth or Justin Thomas? See what WRX members are saying.
How many full bags of clubs do you own?
We’ve looked into how many sets of clubs GolfWRX members have purchased in the past, so this is a little riff on that bit of general curiosity. Jasonnc asks his forum brethren (and sistren) how many full bags of clubs they own. He has three: gamers, backup/travel, and a set for friends. Join the discussion.
Best fairway wood of the deck?
Appropriate topic, considering we just published our member feedback on the new Callaway Steelhead XR, heir to one of the finest off-the-deck fairway woods in history. Sergio9603 asks for the forum consensus on the best fairway wood to hit out of the fairway (past or present). The replies are plenty interesting and vary widely. See the thread.
Are speakers on carts becoming more common? Should they be?
Golf is changing. Perhaps for the better, or perhaps not quickly enough, depending on who you ask. One manifestation of this change: the preference for listening to music while golfing (via bluetooth speakers, etc, not via Al Czervik golf bag radio). TheyCallMeVinnie wonders just how common it is. Join the discussion.
Danny Willett: least distinguished major champion ever?
Look, we don’t like the “worst major champion” debate, although it has found its way into FTF in the past. Here’s an interesting rhapsody on that theme: Is Danny Willett, the 2016 Masters Champion, the least accomplished golfer to win a major in the modern era? Five times a winner on the European Tour, the Masters is his only PGA Tour victory. Interesting discussion. See the thread.

Why Ludvig Aberg is my new favorite player – GolfWRXers discuss
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.
- RELATED: ‘There were a number of red flags’ – Ludvig Aberg reveals why he turned down multiple LIV offers
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.

How about Norman’s collapse versus Faldo at the Masters? Much worse versus Adam Scott

Willet didn’t win the 16 Masters – Spieth lost it

Willet shot a bogey free 67 on Sunday. Sure Spieth blew the 12, but Willet capitalized in the best way.

Jordan lost it. He had a 5 shot lead going into the back 9…
Adam Scott at the Open Championship is the only guy with a greater collapse
