Don't worry DW I got you covered, the only sweaters I own have Hoods, I only own one pair a dress pants(for courses with dress codes lol), I don't own a single pair of dress shoes(only DC skates shoes), and I once took the spikes off of my old golf shoes and wore then to a party as dress shoes


Edit: Also, I play almost exclusively in either Jorts or full on Jeans

[MtlJeff]

When i first joined here, i had no idea how to pronounce the WRX portion of the name, some people say "Golf W-R-X", some people say "Golf works"

I thought when i joined it was pronounced "Golf discussion" and that the R was silent

[CircleC29]

At first, I thought that this place was very supportive because everyone kept telling other members.....

Cool story bro!

[Krt22]

I learned only Tmag knows of low and forward CG "technology"

[knock it close]

I just ventured into the instructional forum and some crazy man was screaming at people demanding real names, I was kinda surprised with this so I guess I'm still a rookie in that area

Doesn't surprise me at all...I heard a rumor last week that bubonic plague broke out in those threads.

In all seriousness....I can kind of "get" a bit of brand pride, or club pride. But I swear it's just beyond me how wound up people can get about different instruction methods. If someone started a thread with the title "Hogan had a reverse pivot!" I think heads would explode...

That "passion" was something I was totally unprepared for

[KLeC]

Well, I no longer post nekkid pics of my swing.

[Qqq123xx]

I will reiterate that I don't think anyone should play blades. Sorry it is semi off topic, just something I totally don't feel passionate about. Ya know.

Now I use this to argue my points on the instruction forum.

The lingo can be tough...but keep this in mind. If you don't know, just ask. 99.999% of the people on here will be more than happy to share info with you. There are a ton of people on here with years of knowledge eager to share it. Always....ask!

Thats awesome!!! Just the finish alone was worth it!

[enduro]

When I first joined Wrx it surprised me that:
1. Expressions like "it'll remain in the bag for a long time" meant that a club would be used for multiple months not years
2. How any club review was invalid unless Trackman results were included.
3. How, in seemingly every thread regarding an even remotely attractive LPGA golfer , someone will comment "I'd hit that" and think they were actuallly being witty
4. In any pre release thread , being even mildly skeptical of a OEMs claims makes one a hater or troll. even if you have that OEMs previous models clubs in your bag.

[/quote]I feel like to do a full review TM or Flightscope is necessary. Obviously you can find a good setup without it, I did (I later confirmed and the numbers were solid), but I think if your going to post a really good review it is necessary

Is there a way to "like" more than once?

[Forged4ever]

LMAO, I didn't mean to post that. I'm not kidding, the nurse just switched the IV bag and I moved my arm and BOOM, I musta hit "Post."

Actually, that was one of my better thought out posts

Sorry about that

Some things are just better left unsaid, eh Richard

[Forged4ever]

You know what would be cool if we could do it and I know nothing about this stuff but have like a live chat thread or section.

Is that feasable?

Or is that a no-go?

WTH, since I'm still mangled and off the tracks I figured what the hell's the harm in askin

Time to head over to instructional forum and mention that Lord Byron and Spade had much better actions than the Wee Icemon, let's see what type of ignorance and confusion truly ensues....

Well, some more true confessions Richard. I have probably 50 pairs
of shorts and 200 polos. I could show up at the course every day for
a few years and never look the same, lol. I transferred my club ho
tendencies and turned them into an OCD for golf clothes.....but.....
I now only have 4 drivers, 3 sets of irons and 2 putters so I figure
I've saved a lot of money overall. Tell me that isn't some twisted
reasoning and completely off topic posting.

Oh...and I forgot about the hybrids and FWs I still have, too....lots.
