What GolfWRXers are saying about their biggest ‘what if’ moment in pro golf

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been discussing their favorite ‘what if’ moment from pro golf. From AK to Tom Watson at Turnberry to Tiger moments and so much more – WRXers have plenty of moments they wish had turned out differently.

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.

  • golfing_penguin: “Tiger hits a ‘normal’ golf shot on the 15th at Augusta that doesn’t hit the flag stick and zip back into the water. Could have made all the difference on Sunday.”
  • Singer83: “What if Tom Watson didn’t miss the green on 18 at the open and won…….”
  • VNutz: “What if Greg Norman didn’t choke away all but one overnight lead he held heading into the final round of each major in 1986? Would he have the confidence to win the rest of the majors he was in the running for rather than wilting away or having the least likely scenario play out against him? Would rather than being disliked by most golf fans would he be celebrated?”
  • Matty01984: “What if Phil missed that birdie putt in 2004? How many majors does he have now?”
  • MUNIGRIT: “What if Larry Mize didn’t chip in on 11, where would the ball have ended up?”
  • Twin2L: “Anthony Kim. Payne Stewart. What if Phil tees off with a 5 iron at Winged foot on 18? What if Monty played the PGA tour?”
  • aarontl: “What if Garcia won the 1999 PGA championship he would have got the major monkey off his back and would have proved to himself he could beat Tiger when it counted. He would go into 2000 as arguably world no 1. It would have been a big boost to his confidence. He could have equalled Seve in major wins.”

    What if Tiger didn’t get caught by his wife?

      He’d have 25 majors by now. Or at least more than he does now…

    Seve doesn’t hit into water on 15 in 1986? Van De Velde hits wedge for second shot? Palmer shoots even par on Sunday at Olympic club in 1966 and lastly Watson doesn’t hole chip shot on 17 at US Open Pebble Beach.

    What if Hogan hadn’t gotten hit by a bus?

Most forgiving players irons? – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been discussing players irons. WRXer ‘NorthTXGolf’ is on the hunt for some new irons but is putting a priority on forgiveness, and has reached out to fellow members who have been sharing their thoughts and advice on the subject 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.

  • Sam217: “i230 has got to be one of the most forgiving players irons available. Cobra King Tour another. Don’t sleep on the New Level 480 DB coming out soon.”
  • RangeBaller: “ZX5/ZX7 and i230 should definitely be in your testing pool.”
  • YAMS49: “Another I210 homie here… Very highly recommended if you want/need spin and a consistent yardage.”
  • golf-RN: “I second the Cobra King Tour irons. I am not the greatest ballstriker by any stretch of the imagination and I find the King Tours very forgiving. Toe strikes might lose 5 or 6 yards with no directional loss. You definitely feel the miss though lol but mishits from the center aren’t punished too hard regarding distance.”

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.
