    Last I looked it’s the PGA of America. Seems it should be contested in the USA. Perhaps Rees wants to push one of his courses elsewhere in the world.

    It’s not the championship of the “International PGA,” it’s the championship of the American PGA.

    The British PGA had its Championship at Wentworth this year, the Australian PGA held its tournament in Queensland, Portugal is going to hold its Masters tournament in Portugal, the British Masters will be in England …

    Notice a trend here, Rees?

    The opinion of an America-hating mediocre designer who would never make it on his own merit since nothing he does is appealing or enjoyable should not be published on WRX.

In this episode of the Club Junkie Podcast, we dive into one of the most interesting flatstick releases of the year with a full review of the new TaylorMade SYSTM 2 putters. After spending time on the greens, I break down what makes this design stand out, where it performs, and why it has me completely torn between loving it and fighting it.

To wrap things up, I walk through the process of building a set of JP Golf Prime irons paired with Baddazz Gold Series shafts. From component selection to performance goals, this is a deep dive into what goes into creating a unique custom set and why this combo has been so intriguing.
