WRXers weigh in on #SB2K16 brofest
If you aren’t the Snapchatting type and haven’t been attuned to the more social-media driver spheres in the golf media space, let us tell you, Rickie Fowler, Jordan Spieth, Smylie Kaufman, and Justin Thomas are having one heck of time vacationing in the Bahamas.
To see what the millennial pros have been up to, and to see the range of WRXers opinions are on the boys’ trip, check out this thread.
Assemble the best golfer of all time
User Railroading13 kicked off this thread regarding how to assemble a Voltron-esque supergolfer with these component parts:
- Driving and off the tee – Greg Norman
- Long approach game – Tiger
- Short approach game – Phil
- Scrambling – Seve
- Putting – Ben Crenshaw
- Mental game – Tiger
How many elements are there to the the supergolfer? Who should make up those parts?
Site founder’s father on Trackman: 74 years young!
Site founder, Rich Audi, posted this awesome thread. Rich golfs with his 74-year-old father every Friday that he can, and it looks like he got pops on Trackman.
To see what Rich found, and how he fit his dad for a better driver, check out this very cool thread.
And 92 mph swing speed at age 74? Impressive stuff!
“Spiething” it
Bogeypro started this thread with the comment that he fatted a pitched wedge and his partner said he’d “Spiethed” it. We’d argue, as SteelPride did, that a more precise definition of “Spiething” it is in order.
As he said, “Did the same today and my brother said the same. I did though; didn’t finish the swing with a wedge and it leaked right and short….Anyone that plays golf seriously has hit that shot before and it sucks. It’s a deadly miss. You almost can’t believe you can hit a wedge 12 yards short.”
Yay or nay on the addition to the poor golf shot lexicon? Let us know what you think.
Your golfing superstition
How deep does the rabbit hole of golf-related neuroticism go among WRXers? Check out this thread.
Some truly great stuff, like these comments from golfinray
“I have to have two orange tees and 4 quarters in my left pocket. I swear it throws my balance off if I don’t. Plus if you use a pink tee you will hit it in the woods every time.”
Add you superstitions to the list and be consoled that you’re not as crazy as you think in this 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.
