Once you go The Sand Trap you never go back....

This and golfwrx are the only two I go to; and Golfwrx I have very few posts on. I like their info on equipment, so I go there for that if I can't find it on the Sand Trap, but I think this is the best. i am curious if there are any others out there too.

There are plenty of others (just do a google search), but TST is the best.

I also frequent freegolfinfo, which has good stuff if you are into building clubs or component clubs in general. The first one I participated on was golfdiscussions but it got sketchy for a while, but I've heard they are under new management.

I come here and Hackers Paradise. WRX is really not for me. I actually belong to about 7 or 8 forums but rarely hit most of them anymore.
My Equipment:
Northwestern 3-, 5-, 7- and 9-wood;
Goldwin AVDP Irons (5-10 plus PW);
U.S. Golf 60 degree wedge;
See-More Putter; Bushnell Yardage Pro 1000 Rangefinder;Golflogix GPS.

I think this is one of the best golf sites today. The moderation is very good here. Some of the other sites can be slaughter houses at times. I also spend time at The Cameron Collector because I like SC putters. Hard to beat this one.

WRX isn't too bad, although it it really slow on my computer at work so I don't look at it often. It is a bit too big for my liking also. There are just too many threads and topic spread out over a large space. Makes it hard to navigate, but maybe that is just me. Shot Talk is okay, but there isn't much activity. Hackers Paradies is okay as well. There isn't much golf knowledge there though outside of a few people and some people are know-it-alls that always have to get their opinion(they are always right BTW) in on everything so you always have to deal with that. It is about 25% golf and 75% off topic BS that you have to wade through to get any real golf info or be involved.

I have looked at those the most other than TST, but this one is where I post things. This site has very good activity and a lot of knowledge from a wide spectrum of users. I just look for info at the other forums.

I will judge my rounds much more by the quality of my best shots than the acceptability of my worse ones.


Other than this place and GolfWRX their's really nothing that caught my attention. I occasionally look around the WRX Forums but haven't registered and probably won't. I used to be a member on quite a few forums(none were golf forums) and actually had my own called "Sports Talk Central" but I closed it down right before I took up golf this Spring.

Career Bests:

9 Holes--37 @ The Fairways at Arrowhead-Front(+2)

18 Holes--80 @ Carroll Meadows Golf Course(+9)

 

Home Course:

1) The Fairways at Arrowhead

2) Mayfair Country Club


the sand trap is my favorite by far, however i now go to this site called puttertalk.com, and its great. The site focuses on putters and putter acessories...very different from this site, check it out if you have a thing for custom putters etc!

FGI is hands down My favorite.

The GolfWRX Forum is very Politically Correct and ran by some unfair moderators who like to show you whos boss. Many people have had numerious user IDs created because they keep getting kicked out, and have to relist.
I've been banned from there like 5 times now. Once for stating that I felt Eldrick Woods was a piece of crap. Later for pointing out that a moderator posted incorrect data. Again for stating that it appears Eldrick Woods had some pharmicutical assistance in the early 2000's.
It is not a friendly place.

For those that are interested in such things, jimhardy.com has a great forum on One Plane and Two Plane swings. If you are into technical dissection of the golf swing, that is the place. Plus, there is a great library of swing videos from pros past and present.

They once suspended a guy on golfwrx for posting that he had just got off a suspension, seriously that is all he said. They suspended me for daring to nickname dick's sporting good employees dick's heads haha I may have deserved that though.

I believe you. I have seen suspensions due to people stating that Eldrick Woods is a moody whiner.

Its pretty much, the moderiators at GolfWrx can do what they want, when they want, and without reason.

GolfWRX is a partner of The Sand Trap, and I visit it from time to time, and that's all I plan to say. Thanks.
