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.

The joy of getting a golf package

It’s the simple things. User tdeane waxed poetic about the agony and ecstasy of waiting for golf club to arrive. “How exciting is it to be sitting at work, check the tracking on your package and see that it has been delivered,” he wrote. “Feels like Christmas morning. Just 7 hours till I get to tear open the package and see my new putter.”

Experienced something similar in the course of fueling your equipment addiction? Share your story in the thread.

Which Tour pro would you dress like (if you could)

Rickie Fowler’s bold colors, joggers, and high tops? Miguel Angel Jimenez’s Lacoste polos and bespoke shoes? Henrik Stenson’s size boys medium shirts? Whose apparel would you wear (perhaps if you were blessed with the body to do so)? Fun discussion here. Chime in.

Share your course photos

WRXer asommer14 posted this thread with a simple and photographically rich premise: Post your photos from the golf course. And given the range of first-rate venues GolfWRXers play and scenic splendor they behold, this was always going to be a phenomenal thread (and it is). See the photos and add to this great thread.

Why do you play golf?

Ah, the fundamental question. Relaxation? Competition? Camaraderie? Exercise? A challenge? No clue? Why do you play this maddening and beautiful game? Kgeisler13 began this thread with an interesting observation about a friend who hates playing golf and tees it up only in the hope of winning bets, adding that his own reason for golfing is that he’s loved the game since he began playing with his grandfather as a child.

In the few days this thread has been live, there have already been more than 80 replies. It appears to have struck a chord, as it should, since without good reasons for playing we’d all likely go full Woody Austin and abandon the game forever.

See why WRXers “love this game,” to borrow a phrase from Golf Digest.

BST: Greaaat stuff!

Pardon the Tony the Tiger phrasing, but we wanted to call attention to the classified section of the forums in case you didn’t know what WRXers are always unloading some first-rate equipment. Rather than give any one seller’s thread the bump at risk of offending others, there are few pictures from the first page of the thread to give you a taste of what you could add to your arsenal. And here’s link to the sub-forum itself. (featured photo cred to ge0vis).

At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals that all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.

It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.

From the Forums: How are you liking TaylorMade’s Qi10 fairway woods?

Gianni Magliocco

In our forums, our members have been discussing TaylorMade’s new Qi10 fairway woods. WRXer ‘ace036’ plans on testing them in the next few weeks, saying: “from how they look from address and frame the ball is much more appealing to my eye versus my current Paradym fairway woods.” And our members have been sharing their positive feedback 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.

Edwardsr: “I got fit into the Qi10 core model with Ventus TR Black 8X and it’s absolutely amazing for me.During the fitting with my 12-15 swings with it, it was the most efficient combo I’ve ever tested, tons of 1.48 smash and 3 or 4 1.49 smash (which I don’t think I’ve ever gotten on 3 wood on a launch monitor).”
MiloMalt: “No complaints and so far only high praise for my Qi10 Tour 3 and 5 wood. I’m getting great numbers and a nice penetrating ball flight with great height whereas with my old TSi2 4 wood it was spinny and ballooning and short because of that.”
courcy75: “The Qi10 Tour 3 wood I just put in play has been outstanding for me. Finally found something I like as much as the 07 burner tp.”
