Can Jamie Sadlowski make it on Tour?

Jamie Sadlowski missed the cut this week (4-over par) at the Australian Open, falling 11 shots behind the pace of current leader James Nitties. As you probably know, the long-hitting Canadian gave up long drive competition earlier this year to focus on tournament golf. User Tcann32 dedicated a thread to Sadlowski’s effort, indicating that he’s eager to see how things go for the multiple Re/Max World Long Drive champion.

See what WRXers have to say about Sadlowski’s effort to make it on tour.

If you can’t hit your driver…

In one of the most succinct posts we’ve ever featured in FTF, PingPoncho titled the thread “For those who cannot hit their driver,” and in his post, merely asked, “What do you use instead?” It’s an interesting question, because, like Matt J said in reply, you don’t want to give up on the biggest head you’re allowed to carry (and the one with the most technology). Thus, his advice to get fit would seem to be the prudent response.

Surprisingly, though, there’s a faction of anti-driverites in the thread, who lay out their solutions to the same problem. A very interesting discussion. See the thread.

An unforgettable experience

An awesome post from WRXer dpb5031. We don’t want to give away the details here, but it involves some impressive philanthropy, Rickie Fowler, and Jack Nicklaus. Check out the story.

Ever played with a tour pro?

bubba-watson-111The thread above makes a nice segway into this one. Cma8516 started the thread with a tale of golfing with Bubba Watson. The left-handed bomber was a great guy, according to the poster, and even stuck around to have lunch with the group.

Nearly 100 replies and a bevy of interesting stories in this one. Check it out.

TaylorMade proto iron photos galore

We published a front-page story about the new TaylorMade prototype irons spotted at the RSM Classic.

As Zak wrote in the piece: “It appears there are two different prototypes from TaylorMade. One has a more compact look with a thinner sole, while the other has a thicker sole, and has “tungsten” stamped on the back badging. One can suspect that these will replace the TaylorMade PSi and PSi Tour irons based on the two different heads.”

To see the full buffet of in-hand photos of the new irons, you have to check out the forum thread.

What GolfWRXers are saying about Kevin Kisner’s new Callaway X Forged CB irons

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been discussing Kevin Kisner’s new Callaway X Forged CB irons which he has in the bag at this week’s CJ Cup. WRXers have been commenting on the switch and the clubs themselves in our forums.

For lots more photos, check out the full thread here.

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.

  • btyh: “Holy offset.”
  • Glf_LU: “These are interesting. Not going to make a rush to judgement until I see them in person. It does look like a little more offset than I would expect to see in this model.”
  • bcflyguy1: “Kisner is not one to make a lot of equipment changes (see the GBB driver he’s still using), so if these do have staying power in his bag that will be interesting to see. I have to wonder if there’s something different about his set, because like others have mentioned there appears to be more offset on his than I recall seeing in the samples I’ve had in hand.”

WATCH: PGA Tour players play hole blindfolded and it’s hilarious/amazing

Published

on

As part of a Srixon campaign, four PGA Tour players recently participated in a three-hole challenge, with each hole being a different game; hole No. 1 was blindfolded, hole No. 2 was costumes and distractions, and hole No. 3 was alternate shot with a baseball bat. The teams were Smylie Kaufman and Sam Ryder against Shane Lowry and Grayson Murray.

Watch the full video below, since it is quite entertaining (albeit not the type of golf that Old Tom Morris surely had in mind), but in particular, make sure to check out the first hole where Lowry and Ryder play a full hole completely blind folded. It’s amazing to watch how badly Ryder struggles, and how Lowry nearly makes par.

Cleveland-Srixon’s marketing department has been hard at work crafting these viral-esque ad campaigns; if you remember, former long-drive champion Jamie Sadlowski recently dressed as 80-year-old Grandpa Jamie to fool range-goers. That video has since gathered over 1.2 million views on YouTube.
