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 a peek behind the curtain into golf’s sanctuary.

Best club you’ve ever purchased?

1996: Burner Bubble Oversized

1996: Burner Bubble Oversized

Tsecor started an interesting thread posing the question: What single club purchase is the best of your golfing life? So grab a seat in the theater of memory and reflect on your favorite piece of artillery. Great replies, great discussion in this thread.

Check it out.

Poll: How many clubs do you own? 

gazillion_golf_club_clubs_drivers_woods_irons_cheap_garage_sale_3_bethel_park_south_hills_usc_peters_lebo_28037757

Operating assumption: Everyone visiting GolfWRX likes golf and golf equipment. Now, whether it’s a “say hello in passing” or a full-on “can’t live without you love” affair for most WRXers is unconfirmed. However, the poll in this thread shines a light into that darkness, and it seems, into garages full of golf clubs.

The white belt: Dead or alive?

This thread was originally started during the Presidents Cup in 2013, but it has picked up steam recently debating an important belt-related issue nearly as important as whether one’s shoes and belt ought to match. Is the white belt, which exploded in popularity on the PGA Tour in recent years, fading in popularity? 

What do you think?

Nike Lunar Control artistry

nike-lunarGMoney76 kicked off a thread with a few of his own creations using Nike’s ID utility to style a pair of Lunar Control 4 shoes and asked to see what other GolfWRXers could come up with. The results were not disappointing.

Check out their creations.

The longest driver in PGA Tour history? 

John Daly eye line

Comparing eras in golf, as they say, is a futile endeavor. However, that doesn’t make it any less fun to banter about on barstools, right? In that spirit, JD3 posed the question, “Who’s the longest hitter in Tour history?”

MadGolfer76 offered a by-era breakdown, naming Jack Nicklaus as the biggest hitter of the 60s and Dan Pohl as the top bomber of the 70s. With more than one hundred replies in the five days since the thread has been posted, WRXers are keen to offer their takes on the biggest hitters of them all.

And young Jack could really rip it, no?

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.
