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

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

From the Forums: How are you liking TaylorMade’s Qi10 fairway woods?
In our forums, our members have been discussing TaylorMade’s new Qi10 fairway woods. WRXer ‘ace036’ plans on testing them in the next few weeks, saying: “from how they look from address and frame the ball is much more appealing to my eye versus my current Paradym fairway woods.” And our members have been sharing their positive feedback 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.
- Edwardsr: “I got fit into the Qi10 core model with Ventus TR Black 8X and it’s absolutely amazing for me.During the fitting with my 12-15 swings with it, it was the most efficient combo I’ve ever tested, tons of 1.48 smash and 3 or 4 1.49 smash (which I don’t think I’ve ever gotten on 3 wood on a launch monitor).”
- MiloMalt: “No complaints and so far only high praise for my Qi10 Tour 3 and 5 wood. I’m getting great numbers and a nice penetrating ball flight with great height whereas with my old TSi2 4 wood it was spinny and ballooning and short because of that.”
- courcy75: “The Qi10 Tour 3 wood I just put in play has been outstanding for me. Finally found something I like as much as the 07 burner tp.”

From the Forums: Should I play a 3-wood or 5-wood?
In our forums, our members have been discussing 3-woods, 5-woods and bag setups. WRXer ‘Cole Fleming’ is currently unsure of his setup, and reached out to fellow members, saying:
“Thoughts on people playing 3 vs 5-wood? I have a high SS 118 with driver 280s + carry. I really never use my 3-wood now as my course doesn’t really have the need unless I move to the back tees. I usually carry it about 260+. I’m ultimately looking for something easier to hit and maybe start trying to use it off the tee some to keep me out of trouble.
I also play a 7-wood. Love it so don’t want them to be to0 close. Ive never even considered or looked at a 5-wood. I have a fitting today so I’m sure I could test them, but wanted somewhat of an idea going into it to tell the fitter so I’m not swinging so many clubs.”
And our members have been sharing their thoughts on the matter, as well as mentioning what has worked best for their game.
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.
- pu_golf88: “I’m dropping the 3 wood this year for a 5 wood. I hit my drivers a similar distance as you and find that my 3 wood isn’t a fairway finder, I really only use it if there’s a dogleg where a driver would go thru where I want to land the ball. I think a 5 wood goes far enough to use it as a fairway finder off the tee when I want more distance than hitting my 3 driving iron.”
- T626G: “I myself have decided to try a 5-wood. Never really had much luck or need with a 3-wood. Should be easier to hit. I’m going to cut it down a 1/2″ just to help control it and swing easier.”
- jedc: “Adjustable 5-wood turned down to 4-wood loft (and open looking face is nice). I had a fitting last month and really liked the PXG Black Ops 5-wood.”

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
Apr 23, 2014 at 9:33 pm
My order is showing “Balance due” even though I already received an email from PayPal showing that I’ve paid?

Same issue here. Shows balance due, still hasnt shipped.

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

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 take it you will sell world wide, unlike your give aways and competitions that are restricted to U S A only!!!!

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.
