A pursuit of scratch. Patent litigator by trade, Wanda knows a thing or two about the value of innovation and technology. And in her journey to scratch golf, she demands nothing but the best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PXG\u2019s high-performance golf clubs are the tools she believes will help her get there. \u201cWhile the road to scratch golf has been long and at times frustrating, playing PXG clubs makes my journey not only more enjoyable but also, more importantly, conceivable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">THE HOOK<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When asked what sparked her love of the game, Wanda offered, \u201cGolf fuels my type-A personality. The challenges of becoming a great ball striker is what first attracted me to golf. However, the unexpected benefits of golf have been the friendships and connections made while playing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGolf brings people from diverse backgrounds together. During a round of golf, you and your playing partners have one solidary and common goal \u2013 to beat the course and go low. To that end, it is \u2018us\u2019 against the course, and during this moment, you do not think about personal or political differences, you just want each other to play well. I have become acquainted with many golfers with very diverse backgrounds and we probably would not have otherwise crossed paths.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SO, WHAT\u2019S IN WFB\u2019S BAG?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/pxg.com\/clubs\/drivers\/0811-x-plus-prototype-driver.html\">PXG 0811 X+ Proto Driver<\/a>\u00a0with Mitsubishi Tensei CK-50 Orange series, R-flex shaft, Lamkin PXG grip<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/pxg.com\/clubs\/fairway-woods\/0341x.html\">PXG 0341 X GEN2<\/a>\u00a03-Wood with Fujikura Pro 2.0, 6-R shaft, Lamkin PXG grip<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/pxg.com\/clubs\/hybrids\/0317x.html\">PXG 0317 X GEN2 Hybrid<\/a>\u00a017\u00b0 with Fujikura Pro 2.0, 7-R hybrid shaft, Lamkin PXG grip<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/pxg.com\/clubs\/irons\/gen3\/configure\/0311-p.html\">PXG 0311 P GEN3 Irons<\/a>\u00a04-GW with Nippon-NS Pro-850-GH, reg. flex steel shaft, Lamkin PXG grips<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/pxg.com\/clubs\/wedges\/0311-forged-wedges.html\">PXG 0311 Forged Wedge<\/a>, 56\u00b0 &amp; 60\u00b0 with Nippon-NS Pro-850-GH, reg. flex steel shaft, Lamkin PXG grips<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/pxg.com\/clubs\/putters\/gunboat.html\">PXG GEN2 Gunboat Putter<\/a>\u00a0with PXG Super Stroke grip<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">TAKING IT TO THE COURSE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Since adding PXG clubs to her bag, Wanda has lots of great golf stories. The most recent one occurred when, \u201cfor the first time, I birdied the 18<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;hole on the Banks Course at Forsgate Country Club. A birdie on the 18<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;hole is rare even for the most skilled golfer. The 18<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;hole, known as Purgatory, is the hardest Par 4 on the course. It has a sloped, elevated green with a false front and is protected by two 15-feet deep, massively wide bunkers on each side. My playing partners have never witnessed any golfer make a birdie on the 18<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;hole. Of course, drinks were on me after that birdie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Helping golfers find success on the course is what keeps our engineers focused, our resources unencumbered, and our patent count growing. Today, PXG has nearly 400 patents for our innovative designs and serves golfers around the globe as they seek to go low and have more fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s in your bag?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article is part of a series dedicated to our #PXGTroops and their love of the game.
