In our forums, our members have been discussing the most boring holes in golf. WRXer ‘Kasting333’ kicks off the thread with his pick, saying:

“I think it’s 16 at TPC Scottsdale. If you’re gonna have a huge stadium around a hole, make it one that has a funnel pin or at least some slope. It’s just a super boring hole.”

And our members have been sharing the holes they dislike most 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.

hamersia: “17th at St Andrews by miles. Like building an Outback Steakhouse middle of the 17th fairway at Augusta.”
smashdn: “16th in Phoenix or 17th at Sawgrass. And the 17th at Sawgrass not because it is a terribly bad hole given the purpose of the course and the intended clientele, but overrated because it is copied (badly) so often and copied in places without regard for what Sawgrass is and intended to be.”
mat562: “18 at Riviera. A fantastic, natural amphitheatre, but the hole’s a humdrum long-ish par four with a semi-blind uphill tee shot followed by a straightforward approach to a bland, unbunkered green.”
elwhippy: “13 at ANGC is now a par four to most players. 5th is one of the most underrated.”

Jason Day on his recent switch into Srixon ZX5 and ZX7 MK II irons

Over the past year, equipment free agent Jason Day has played a number of different iron sets looking for his right match.

In May 2023, he was using a TaylorMade P770 4-iron to go along with a set of P7MC irons (5-PW).

In August 2023, he had switched to a set of TaylorMade P7TW irons (5-PW) to go with his P770 4-iron.

Then, in February 2024, he was into a full set of P760 irons (4-PW).

Now, Day has switched it all the way up, and he’s currently using a new set of Srixon ZX5 MK II long irons (3 and 4), and Srixon ZX7 MK II mid-to-short irons (5-PW).

On Tuesday at the 2024 RBC Heritage, Day told GolfWRX.com that he made the switch before the 2024 Texas Children’s Houston Open, because he was looking to reduce spin.

“For me, they spin a little bit less,” Day said. “They’re very good out of fairway bunkers, too. I haven’t played too much in the rough yet, so I still need to get an understanding of how the come out of the rough, but for me, it was all about spin control.”

“I had tested the previous model to these [Srixon ZX7’s], but I only had one club. And I was getting some inconsistent spinny with my previous irons, so I just decided to at least give them another shot. My biggest thing was to take spin off, because I was spinning it like crazy.”

The Srixon ZX7 MK II irons are known for producing low spin numbers, and pairing them with Day’s typical ultra-stiff True Temper X7 shafts make them certified spin killers.

If it’s spin he wanted to reduce, then Day may have found his match with the new Srixon irons.
