It’s been a busy week for golf, and for our Tour photographer. In case you missed the recent galleries from GolfWRX, follow the links below:

This week’s Revealing Photos will combine all of the photo galleries — the first unisex edition ever. Break ground and reveal photos, that’s what GolfWRX does.

It’s never the wrong day for Puke Green pants

Although I believe the official color name is “citrus green” based on some brief hue research.

Screen Shot 2015-07-22 at 9.50.01 PMYeah, that looks about right.

A Snoopy, World War I Flying Ace headcover

Here’s the reference, in case you thought “snoopy” was just an adjective.

A bald eagle came to sqwuak for its favorite golfer

The most inexpensive, or expensive, training aid in existence

Paula Creamer is using a card to keep her left wrist steady during the stroke. If you use a hotel key or business card for this drill, it’s about as cheap as it gets. But if you use a credit card, it’s worth…whatever your spending limit is.

Odyssey’s “Lucky 7” #7 limited-edition prototype putter

Gary Player, who once said “the harder you practice the luckier you get,” might not game the putter, but slots-lover John Daly might.

Tommy’s Two Gloves

Tommy “Two Gloves” Gainey, best known for his stint on Golf Channel’s Big Break and best recognized for his double gloves, wears two gloves because that’s what his father did. He also uses a baseball grip with his left thumb tucked under his right hand — not quite the Vardon grip.

And is the guy in the red bucket hat his dad?

He’s strapped up with two gloves ready to go. Someone get that guy a tee time.

Someone confused Scotch tape for lead tape

I don’t think Scotch tape is going to add much swing weight. If you’re going to steer away from lead tape, I’d personally go with duct tape. That stuff fixes everything.

Fun fact: Tiger Woods (2000) beat Charles Murray’s (1911) total score by 48 shots

It was at the 2000 Canadian Open at Glen Abbey where Tiger Woods hit one of the best shots of his career, and arguably one of the most impressive shots in golf history.

Never forget.

Hopefully the blue wedges will save him from the double-bogey blues.

Who says Tour caddies have it easy?

They literally have a heavy burden to carry every week, and sometimes they have to wear more than one hat.

A golfer’s nirvana

Give me an undisturbed pyramid of Pro V1’s, a fresh piece of well-cut grass and I’ll talk to you later.

Scotland-flag zippers

A subtle, yet awesome way to commemorate The Open Championship in Scotland.

The Kuro Kage XMS shaft is said to have a stiffer midsection and softer tip for a higher launch angle with more spin than the popular XTS model.

A clean slate

Blayne Barber, best known among gear heads for his Starbucks-inspired wedges, has this Scotty Cameron GoLo prototype in the bag, made without any lines or stampings visible from address. So fresh, so clean.

    It’s pretty clear the “card” Paula is using is her LPGA Tour credential.

Most forgiving players irons? – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been discussing players irons. WRXer ‘NorthTXGolf’ is on the hunt for some new irons but is putting a priority on forgiveness, and has reached out to fellow members who have been sharing their thoughts and advice on the subject in our forum.

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.

  • Sam217: “i230 has got to be one of the most forgiving players irons available. Cobra King Tour another. Don’t sleep on the New Level 480 DB coming out soon.”
  • RangeBaller: “ZX5/ZX7 and i230 should definitely be in your testing pool.”
  • YAMS49: “Another I210 homie here… Very highly recommended if you want/need spin and a consistent yardage.”
  • golf-RN: “I second the Cobra King Tour irons. I am not the greatest ballstriker by any stretch of the imagination and I find the King Tours very forgiving. Toe strikes might lose 5 or 6 yards with no directional loss. You definitely feel the miss though lol but mishits from the center aren’t punished too hard regarding distance.”
