The Sandtrap is great. I go to Golfwrx to see pics of new clubs etc, but stay away from the forums for the most part. Too big for me, but TST is just right combination.

For a very long time, I used to just go to TST and not visit the forum. I dont go to any other golf site because too much reading messes up my game. Wonder how many are out there who go to TST every day and are not members of the forum. That might be an admin qn.

Hundreds of thousands per week. We do pretty well. I don't like to brag about it much, but a lot of people know about the site and compliment us regularly on things like our reviews.

A lot of our traffic comes via search engine results, too, as our reviews and other articles usually rank pretty highly. [/bragging] Blech, ok.

There are some things worth bragging about. I think this is one of them.

You certainly have plenty to be proud of. This site is a great service to golfers the world over. Better than all those glossy mags that sell for money. Rare.

I think WRX is catered towards equipment enthusiasts aka club-ho's. There are forums for every kind of equipment, tour, otr, putter, japanese, accessories. Is great if you are searching for something specific.

Don't know about you guys, but I find WRX to be a very slow loading website.

I prefer "The Trap" but I do just look on golfwrx to see what is coming out. It just seem a little more my speed here not to over techincal. I mean you can get caught up in all that techincal crap and for get this is a game we all love and this is the real reason we are here.

I haven't been as active in here as I use to be, but I'm obviously biased. This is a much cleaner and better forum than GolfWRX.

Erik has built something to be proud of...and I'm proud to have been a part of it.

Fairways and Greens.

I agree. I joined their community, but find it to be too busy and large to spend too much time over there.

I like both BSG and GOLF WRX a little better. There seems to be better and more knowledgeable posters there. The Sand Trap seems to be for novice or higher handicap golfers.

I like both TST and WRX. I've really become disenchanted with BSG. It's really just a place for a couple guys to sell stuff for ridiculously inflated prices, and to couple it with questionable services.

On the other hand, I also really like golfdiscussions.com

Golfwrx is nice for a quick overview of a ton of eqipment. But, the in-depth reviews by the Sand Trap staff are far, far better. In fact, I would say they are far and away the best golf equipment reviews on the net.

It's irrelevant. They have their role, we have ours. They're a partner of ours, as well.

And yes, the last rude comment was removed.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By GolfLug · Posted

      I mean there has to be some thought. For eg., something like 'soft knees and wrists' at set up and maybe a dynamic 'left arm to chin' as a trigger to start DS. I have these one or two anchor thoughts and have served me well. In fact, my wildest swings are the one where I have no thoughts or if I forget to walk thru my anchor thoughts. In contrast my best rounds are where I am consistent with the anchor thoughts.    OTOH, if I am running my entire half hour lesson (hypothetical) with some pro that I had last Saturday or whatever before every swing then I'm probably in trouble before I even get over the ball.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By iacas · Posted

      Two bits. Bit 1 The NCAA's appeal of Brendan Sorsby being granted a temporary injunction will not be heard until February, so there will be nothing to prevent Sorsby from playing the full season and potential CFP.  Bit 2 The Big Ten Conference will hold a meeting and is expected to ban all of its athletic programs from playing Texas Tech in the regular season. Georgia has done the same. The SEC will meet to consider a similar ban. Fellow Big 12 members TCU and Kansas State are spearheading a similar ban, but the conference charter might not allow it. Meanwhile, Big 12 athletic directors are meeting this week to explore what options the conference might have.

      By iacas · Posted

      No, but I'm also in disagreement that golfers have no thoughts over the golf ball, and/or don't ever think I've met someone I truly believe is thinking nothing but "target" or something on most shots.

      Too Old?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      StuM,  I have, in the past, added a left handed club. (Ususally a 7 iron) However, I usually take a stroke penalty and move the ball to where I want it.  I play for fun and in a pinch can use theback side if my club if I don't want the penalty stroke.    RetiredOldMan,  Terry

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By saevel25 · Posted

      So, Brendan Sorsby, Texas Tech transfer QB, was found guilty of sports betting by the NCAA. He admitted to it. He placed thousands of bets over multiple years while at Indiana and Cincinnati. This included betting on his own teams.  The NCAA rules ban athletes from betting on any sport (college or pro).  A retired visiting judge from Tarrant County, Texas has put an injunction on the NCAA ruling. He is a visiting judge because the first judge was a graduate and big fan of Texas Tech, and he recused himself. The judged ruled the following... "Under Curry's order, Sorsby is permitted to play for Texas Tech's 2026 season on the condition that he continues his treatment for a gambling and anxiety disorder and serves a two-game suspension (missing games against Abilene Christian and Oregon State)."  Don't get me wrong, I don't particularly care for the NCAA. That still doesn't mean that a college can choose when or where to say, "Yea we agree to these rules for all our sports, well except in this case." Here is a breakdown from S&W. The Hidden Weapon in Sorsby’s Injunction: How a Lubbock County Court Order Quietly Neutralized the NCAA’s Most Powerful Enforcement Tool - Law Offices of Snell & Wilmer By Ryan J. Regula On June 8, 2026, Lubbock County District Court Judge Ken Curry issued a temporary injunction in Brendan Sorsby v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, Cause No. DC-2026-CV-0791 (99th Judicial District... The main judgement made sense. Sorsby, I am going to have all this harm done to me if I don't get to play. The Judge, I agree. The penalty for gambling is too harsh, so here are all these things you must do, and I will grant this injunction against the NCAA. Basically, an analogy would be when a person goes into court for a DUI and they agree to all these other things to not end up in jail.  What sucks for the NCAA is the NCAA has appealed to Texas’ Seventh Court of Appeals, based in Amarillo. All four justices that preside over the court are graduates of Texas Tech University School of Law. It would be hilarious if all four of them had to recuse themselves 🤣. For those who like to read legal rulings...
