Has GolfWRX made you better or worse as a golfer?

I think the funny thing for me is that when I dedicate myself I sometimes feel like there isn’t enough posting or interacting in the forum. Which obviously isn’t true, but when you literally read everything available you eventually run out of content.

 

I think classifieds have been my weakness, I know I want to trade/sell my JPX850 forged but can’t till after Summer without a good deal going both ways.

Definitely better - there are a lot of guys on here that have given me a better perspective on course management and outlook on the game. While the BST board has not been good for me or my game, but all in all WRX has given me opportunities and networking I wouldn't have had. For example, in my bio, the write-up I did opened a bunch of doors for me to take advantage of that has helped my game.

 

better for sure. found playing partners, tourney info, clubs, an online instructor, 2 great swing aids, and lots of good info. 100 percent my favorite site on the internet.

 

It's my homepage

 

Wow, great username. First time seeing it on here.

WRX has helped raise my knowledge level - so now I understand better why I have not improved much in the past 4-5 years. Can I put that knowledge into my swing and lower my HCP - guess time (and more effort on my part) will tell. Overall, I'm glad I found WRX and the friends I've made through it - even if I'm still a hacker!

Just an older guy with 7 or 8 clubs and a MacKenzie Sunday Walker bag

Better hands down. When I joined I was a 120+ super slicer, average score for the past 2 years is 83.4 and I’ve gone from a 105ish SS to 115+ as well. I’ve made many many improvements thanks to GolfWRX, it’s the best thing to ever happen to my game for sure. :)

The best experience is from the Club Tech forum. Learn a lot from those guys. Also from Tom Wishon in club forum. Foreverforged , Ferguson, Sean2, as well as those who are afflicted with lefty syndrome.

Neither. GolfWRX has provided some terrific reading, some ideas on equipment (more than I had prior), some excellent tips, some terrific eye candy. The state of my game is getting better solely because I'm playing a bit more than I had in years past. I have a long way to go but I'm working on it.

When I signed up in 2010 I was a 19 handicap. The last two years I worked as an Assistant Pro and had a handicap under 1.

 

Found Dan and Monte on here, took online lessons from both and in person from Monte. I think they really helped me get from an 8 to under a 5.

 

I don't buy into the equipment garble.

Somewhat worse in some ways. Really get my head filled with conflicting thoughts sometimes from what I read. And then there is THE BALL! Oh my goodness the ball. I was so fixated on the ball for a while. I tried them all. It was all I thought I needed, the ball, the ball, yes the ball is the issue. Well it turns out I can play with any ball and the score rarely changes. I'm not a good enough player for the ball to make much difference, except for the K3 :wave:

I haven't been around long enough (a month?) but I have learned some of the more technical things about choosing my next set of clubs which may help with scoring (probably not...lol). I have learned a lot on YT and a couple of other forums though. It's been crappy wet and cold weather here so I still have yet to find out if my progress on the range will transfer to the course.
