GolfWRX Opens New Online Store
Ever wish you had more GolfWRX in your life? We do too, which is why we’re re-launching a new online store with exclusive GolfWRX items that will take your on-course style to new heights.
The most popular item in the GolfWRX store has always been our famous poker chips, and the new models have been totally reimagined for 2014.
GolfWRX Tour Serialized Poker Chips: $3.00 each
[button color=”red” link=”http://outfitted.golfwrx.com/”]Enter the Store[/button]
“We’ve spared no cost in the manufacturing of these chips,” say Richard Audi, founder and president of GolfWRX. “We partnered with the leading gaming chip supplier in the world and went to the limit to design a very high-end series of poker chips,”
Each of the new chips is individually serialized and made in limited runs of 500 chips per model. They have same quality and feel that you’d expect from a world-class casino chip with mirrored gold and glitter accents that differentiate these chips from anything GolfWRX has offered in the past.
Also available in the store are two new styles of GolfWRX bag tags in black/white and red/gray/white. They measure 3 inches tall and 2.75 inches wide, and are made from a high-quality PVC rubber that keeps them lightweight and gentle on your bag and clubs.
“We’ve had many GolfWRX Members contact us and say, ‘I wish there was an easy way to recognize a GolfWRXer from across the range or on the course,'” Audi said. “We scour the professional tours every week, and we’re trying to offer limited runs of products that are of the highest quality to support our passionate membership.”
GolfWRX Rubber Bag Tag: $3.50 each
[button color=”red” link=”http://outfitted.golfwrx.com/”]Enter the Store[/button]
Along with the bag tags, the new store also includes new GolfWRX pins (1.5 inches wide) that are a more discreet way to show that you’re a GolfWRXer. The pins were inspired by the pins handed out to golfers as their credential for high-level tournaments.

“We went through some trouble making sure that the backing of the pins won’t stab you if you put it on your apparel, and that it won’t fall off your shirt, hat or golf bag,” Audi says.
GolfWRX Credential Pin: $3.00 each
[button color=”red” link=”http://outfitted.golfwrx.com/”]Enter the Store[/button]
The store also includes a new hat clip by Pitchfix with a removable GolfWRX ball marker. The clips are made from titanium-treated stainless steel that makes them resistant to scratches and rust, and they’re finished with a rubberized ABS rubber that makes sliding the ball marker off the clip a cinch.
Last, but not least is the famed GolfWRX divot tool/ball marker with our old school logo. The magnets on these are strong, so all you have to do is pick up your mark and toss it in your pocket and it’ll find the divot tool. The back side of the coin reads, “Better than most,” which we hope describes your putting that day.
GolfWRX Divot Tool/Ball Marker: $15.00 each

In our forums, our members have been having an interesting discussion on bag setups. WRXer ‘Ghostdunc27’ has been unable to replace the 3-wood he loved and is currently “toying around with the idea of a mini driver or even a higher lofted regular driver with a shorter shaft” to his bag, and reaches out to fellow members on their thoughts.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- tjwilliams31: “I am tinkering with this now. I currently play an SLDR S 14 degree driver at 42.75 as my secondary tee club and it works great. My issue with a lower lofted driver at that length was the tendency for the ball to drop out of the air with a lack of spin. Again this could just be an issue in my delivery at the ball. Everyone in the forum references the Marty Jertson WITB on Youtube with PING and he plays a secondary driver around that length in lieu of 3 wood.”
- adamwon84: “I switch between a mini driver and a normal 3 wood (15 degrees, crank down to 14) depending on the course. The mini driver is the newest Taylormade mini driver, set at 13.5 degrees and the 3 wood is the Callaway Smoke AI 15 degree set to 14. Both are great, but I am finding that the mini driver is more and more impressive as I use it (especially off the tee box). I did have a mini 300 model that had a 42.5 inch shaft that was fun on the deck and off the tee, really really solid. My current one is with the stock length shaft, but I am looking at ordering a shorter shaft to experiment with.”
- agree1977: “Have a TSR2 driver and the 13.5 TM BRNR, I use both about the same amount of times a round, it just changes throughout the year, depending on weather, form, course i’m playing, etc. I just found that my 3-wood and 5-wood were pretty much overlaying in a few areas, so set the 5 wood to 18 degrees and it does all i need for a fairway.”

What’s the most forgiving and longest driver you’ve played in past 5 years? – GolfWRXers discuss
In our forums, our members have been discussing the most forgiving and longest driver they’ve played over the past 5 years. WRXer ‘bogeykibg’ poses the question and also asks “does forgiveness mean shorter?”, and our members have been sharing their thoughts on the subject in our forum.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- Kai Slater: “The Callaway Rogue ST Max driver is the most forgiving/long driver that I’ve personally tried. It’s my current driver and, although, I see no reason to change, I’m very curious about trading up to the AI Smoke when the prices drop later this year.”
- Ger21: “Srixon ZX5 LS MK II. Remarkably forgiving.”
- scooterhd2: “If we are talking about average on course distance, and not max distance, or good hits on a sim, then its G400MAX. Theres no rollout in the woods or the lake. Hit em straight.”

What club purchase has more impact on overall game: Driver or putter? – GolfWRXers discuss
In our forums, our members have been discussing whether a driver or putter purchase has more impact on the game of a player who regularly shoots in the 70s.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- hammergolf: “It’s always baffled me that guys will spend $500 at the drop of a hat to hit it 8 yds further, but will balk at spending that same $500 on a putter that could improve their score much more.”
- WipeyFade: “I think with both it’s more about forgiveness than anything. I guess it would depend on which you mishit the most. In my opinion the only difference between a 10 year old driver and a new driver is going to be the forgiveness level. Same with putters.”
- rooski: “The technology of a newer driver will do much more in forgiveness than any putter technology that has come out since they were shafted with wood (other than maybe L.A.B, that’s some real stuff). That being said, if you currently don’t like your putter, I would upgrade it first given that you seem to enjoy your current driver. If your current driver/putter are roughly equal, I’d go driver first.”
- sheepdawg: “I’m a whole lot more finicky with drivers. I can putt pretty decent with most anything. Driver has to suit me just so.”

I ordered a bag tag. I thought the sipping of $5.50 was too steep. It could be shipped for under $1.

Hi there, I am in South Africa, can you ship items to me if I order on-line?
Rommel

Payment sent through PayPal. It’s been a week, when is my order shipping?
Patrick
Apr 24, 2014 at 8:03 pm
Did you also pay for priority shipping?
Patrick

My order is showing “Balance due” even though I already received an email from PayPal showing that I’ve paid?

When I try to check out through PayPal, I get an error message that reads “Gateway Error: The totals of the cart item amounts do not match order amounts.” Something is messed up on your end as the order form does the multiplying, not me. Too bad, this is keeping me from buying. Nothing wrong from my end. Please fix. Its costing you missed sales.
Jack
Apr 23, 2014 at 1:01 pm
tried it again this morning. You cannot order more than 1 poker chip at a time, as it gives you the “gateway” error message. So, if I want to order 6, I have to order them 1 at a time, incurring 6 separate shipping charges. That doesn’t seem right.

Is anyone from golfwrx.com monitoring comments about the problems people are having purchasing items on this website?
It’s a great idea to sell stuff on your website. But, if it’s broken and people can’t purchase, wouldn’t you make an attempt to answer questions about it on your own internet site?
Jack
Apr 27, 2014 at 9:03 pm
I get the feeling that this is not something that’s been monitored at all.

Went to buy the divot tool and it showed $21 to ship to Canada? Is that a mistake? You could ship a set of clubs to me for that! Can someone confirm please if $21 is the correct amount. Thanks!

Glad to see that WRX is finally starting to branch out a bit. Kinda surprised it took this long, but better late than never. I think there are many other items that should be made available for purchase with the WRX branded logo, and maybe those things are in the immediate future, if not, I think you guys are missing out on a great opportunity to further market the WRX brand. Just my .02

No idea how to fix that, but I do want some of those chips/bag tags!

I just tried to checkout 4 poker chips and a divot tool but I live in Canada and the shipping charge is crazy! $21.00 USPS…come on guys.. It might cost half that to ship such a small package.
Dan
Apr 17, 2014 at 2:00 pm
Well you do live in the Great White North. Everything costs more to ship there…as would be the same if us Americans ordered something from Canada.
Scott
Apr 19, 2014 at 8:21 pm
Disagree. I have had stuff bigger shipped from Texas to Toronto for less. If a ball marker and divot tool, costs more than $7 I’d be surprised. Anyway no biggie, just seems high.
