FTF: Would you rather have Mike Weir or Colin Montgomerie’s career?
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.
Giveaway: Custom Ping putter
Have you ever seen those custom Ping WRX putters? The ones with starshot finish, tungsten weights, sound slots, custom sight lines/dots, custom paintfill, engravings, etc? Well, one lucky GolfWRX member will win a custom Ping WRX TR 1966 Anser putter from our great sponsor, Morton Golf Sales!
To see what you need to do to get in on the giveaway check out the thread.
The legend: Greg Moore
Our site co-founder, Rich Audi, spent a couple of days with our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, at The Players. Rich’s post is awesome, and it paints a great portrait of an essential component of GolfWRX. Absolutely a must-read thread.
Three-club challenge
User The Infidel started a thread asking for input as he’s going to be competing in a three-club tournament.
Beyond Toursaucy’s suggestion of “driver, driver, driver,” there’s a fascinating discussion of three-club tournament strategy in this thread that you won’t want to miss…especially if you’re going to be teeing it up with just a trio of weapons at some point.
Most outrageous GolfWRX forum stories…
This is another thread that’s been around for a little while and is simply too fantastic to merely summarize. And while we’re all given to hyperbole, some of the examples from the forums (mostly by users who have since disappeared) are beyond belief. MtlJeff, for example, shared a story of a user who claimed to be a pro and seemed to be posting fugazi pictures indicated he had sponsors and was competing professionally.
Share your story and see the rest.
Whose career would you prefer?
I mentioned this thread on Twitter earlier this week, and I think the question leads to a great (if meaningless) debate: Whose career would you rather have, Mike Weir or Colin Montgomerie?
Credit to Sonny Crocket for starting this thread, which is complicated somewhat by the fact that Monty has had success on the Champions Tour and Weir is (theoretically at least) still competing on the PGA Tour. So for the purposes of the best possible debate, I’d say excluding any Champions Tour play and assuming Weir won’t make another cut on the PGA Tour is best.
A reminder from your friends at GolfWRX: Father’s Day is June 21. And as we do every year, we’re rounding up the best gifts for dad.
As we say every year, there’s no better golf-related Father’s Day gift than a round of golf with pops. Be it a country club or your favorite muni, take the time to get together to play 18 if you can.
Let’s get to the gifts.
Ghost Golf Qualifier Diamond Polo
We like the new polos that Ghost is offering, as the fabric and fit are so good. These new Qualifier Collection polos breathe well, are lightweight, stretch with your swing, and of course look great. You can wear them on the course, in the office, or just out at a casual event and they will fit right in.
STR8-Strip Grip Tape Remover
If your dad is an equipment aficionado and tinkers with his clubs, this tool works wonders. Removing grip tape has never been easier, just put a little head on the tape and the STR8-Strip peals it right off the shaft without any damage.
Why Golf: Putting Thing
When it comes to practice, it is good to have a purpose. This “Putting Thing” sure does it. We know from personal experience how challenging it can be and how rewarding it is on the practice green. This also provides some competition for your kiddo to see who will unload the dishwasher or do the next chore around the house.
OluKai Lae‘ahi Men’s Breathable Slip-On Shoes
Riding to and from the course in style and comfort is always a good thing. If you’re in a hurry, it’s a nice feature to slide into your shoes and get to the tee time. For the post-game shoe, at your locker or while putting your clubs away in the car. Nice to slide into a shoe that looks good anywhere. Pair that with meeting the family for dinner, no need to change!
Therabody Theragun Relief
A little wellness goes a long way. Keeping loose is a good way to go when it comes to the weekend game or treatment during the week. If there is a little ache or pain, the Theragun is there to help out. Help loosen up the back for a pre-game warm-up or cool-down.
World Cup golf apparel
Something for the soccer dads. Embrace the World Cup fever this summer on the course with custom gear to support the nation of your choice.
FootJoy Pro SL spikeless golf shoes
Give the old man a break and save his feet with the Footjoy Pro SL Men’s Spikeless Golf Shoes for some added comfort on the course.
Bushnell Wingman 2 GPS speaker
Combine all the hits as well as some game improvement with the Wingman 2 Golf GPS Speaker by getting audible distance readings from 38,000+ courses worldwide through the Wingman 2 remote or speaker.
Personalized Titleist Pro V1 golf balls
The No. 1 ball in golf is a safe bet, and the Pro V1 fits the largest chunk of the bell curve if you don’t know what ball pops plays. Add personalization for a, well, personal touch!

With the PGA Tour across the border in Canada this week, GolfWRX Tour Photographer Greg Moore stayed stateside and headed to the OccuNet Classic presented by Amarillo National Bank in Amarillo, Texas.
It’s always interesting to see what the guys are playing on the KFT, and this week certainly hasn’t disappointed so far, with some incredible wedge stamping on display.

At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals who 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.
Currently, in our GolfWRX buy/sell/trade (BST) forum, @HuskerFlyer is sharing a Scotty Cameron GOLO with a BGT Stability Tour2 2022 M Edition shaft. While the putter is certainly enviable, the Augusta-inspired shaft is equally noteworthy.

Monty,
one of the all time greats in Ryder Cup, The comp that’s now is no longer the walk over it was thanks to Monty, Seve, Poults, and the likes, 10 year dominance in the order of merit, got unlucky more once in the majors, and lets be honest, was beat by the odd good player here and there.
He contended against some great players over a long stretch, I know what I would prefer when looking back.
If your American, the masters and US open are the most important to you, if your British its the Open, I think had it been the open Mike Weir had in his pocket it may be a different discussion, that is not to play down the masters, but as the Greatest said ( Jack) your own open is the most important to you .
I am sure Monty has a few more memories to fall back on when the day comes to hang up the clubs.

You don’t care about the Masters??? If that’s the case then you must not care about golf. I’d choose Monty in this case for sure, even though the green jacket is a coveted prize

Any person who doesn’t say Colin Montgomerie is a buffoon. Montgomerie is a legend of the game, one of the best iron players in history, probably the best European player for an entire decade, and was a Ryder Cup stalwart.
Weir had 4 good days in his career, Montgomerie had about 10 years of it. Weir was a good golfer who played well one weekend, Montgomerie was an amazing golfer who maintained his class for a decade.

Monty, and IMO, it’s not even close! He was the winner of the order of merit for over a decade and arguably the best Ryder Cup player ever. So he’s struggled playing in the states, many foreign players have. I think he handled himself with more dignity and class than most would have if they had to face the adversity that he had to during his US Open appearances with the fans openly taunting him. Granted his reactions to them probably only encouraged them more. Now on the Senior Tour he has his major title that alluded him all those years and where is that quirky lefty?Yeah, Weir has a green jacket and then what? Yes Monty looks like Mrs. Doubtfire but only poor people will tell you money can’t buy happiness.

I am sure Monty would give couple of his Millions away to Weir for the green jacket. So if I had to choose and I could win only one tournament in my golf career then it would be the Masters.
