Debate: How are “Tour Only” Scotty Cameron putters different than retail?

ScottyCameronRSM

Referring to Tour Only/Circle T Scotty Camerons, user e36er asks: “Are those $2K-$5K putter really different than the ones under $400?”

Responses range from span the range from “Yes/You can’t put price on the perfect, confidence-inspiring putter” to “Heck no!” Also discussed: fine art and the relative merits of a Timex vs. a Rolex and much decrying the fact that the topic has been bandied about ad nauseum in the forums over the years.

The inevitable demise of the golf polo?

Galvin Green - Maddox Polo 745267

User prsgtrman began this thread with an anecdote about a quick post-work nine holes in which he wore a “nice-looking shirt made of synthetics.” During his round, he came to the conclusion that a nice-looking non-polo shirt should be equally as acceptable on a golf course as a collared shirt.

This prompted DRRicks to respond: “If you’d like to “dress down,” play frisbee golf.”

And wldchld22 offered a history lesson in the grand tradition of the polo shirt: “Rene Lacoste introduced it in the 1900’s after visiting India and ever since then it has been in a staple in the modern man’s wardrobe for a reason.”

Of course, prsgtrman does have supporters in the thread, which is also notable for its detailed history of khaki pants.

Perspectives on assistant Ryder Cup captain Woods

TigerWoodsRyderCup

As with all things Tiger-related, 2016 U.S. Ryder Cup captain Davis Love III’s announcement that Tiger Woods (along with Jim Furyk and Steve Stricker) will serve as an assistant captain at Hazeltine has generated some forum discussion.

Formula02 started a thread related to the topic with the question, “Does this mean he [Woods] doesn’t think he will be back playing next year or at least not with enough time to show form to take the team as a pick?”

Another user added that Woods has indicated he’d still like to make the team. And after that, the takes came fast and furious. And the polar perspectives were laid out: On the one hand, this decision somehow hands the Cup to the Europeans. On the other, as J13 stated, “Who in the game knows more about winning and the mentality it takes to do so then Tiger Woods?”

What do you think about assistant captain Woods?

What’s the perfect mini-driver/shaft combo? – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been discussing Mini-Drivers and accompanying shafts. WRXer ‘JamesFisher1990’ is about to purchase a BRNR Mini and is torn on what shaft weight to use, and our members have been sharing their thoughts and set ups 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.

  • PARETO: “New BRNR at 13.5. Took it over to TXG (Club Champ but TXG will always rule) in Calgary for a fit. Took the head down to 12, stuck in a Graphite Design AD at 3 wood length and 60g. Presto- numbers that rivaled my G430Max but with waaaaay tighter dispersion. Win.”
  • driveandputtmachine: “Still playing a MIni 300.  The head was only 208, so I ordered a heavier weight and play it at 3 wood length.  I am playing a Ventus Red 70.   I play 70 grams in my fairways.  I use it mainly to hit draws off the tee.  When I combine me, a driver, and trying to hit a draw it does not work out well most of the time.  So the MIni is for that. As an aside, I have not hit the newest BRNR, but the previous model wasn’t great off the deck.  The 300 Mini is very good off the deck.”
  • JAM01: “Ok, just put the BRNR in the bag along side a QI10 max and a QI10 3 wood. A load of top end redundancy. But, I have several holes at my two home courses where the flight and accuracy of the mini driver helps immensely. Mine is stock Proforce 65 at 13.5, I could see a heavier shaft, but to normal flex, as a nice alternative.”

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.
