Important announcement regarding the GolfWRX forums!

Published

on

Dear GolfWRX Members,

Last year, in an effort to improve the capability of our forums, we switched to new software. We expected tremendous scalability and rapid customization that would significantly improve each Member’s experience across multiple devices and integrate flawlessly with social media platforms.

Unfortunately, after a significant capital expense, we have decided that the length of time and the additional cost to reach our goals make this enterprise untenable.

Thus, we have made the difficult decision to transition the forums to our original software platform. We’re excited that, in the nearly two years since we began the process of our most recent switch, our original platform has been upgraded significantly, and we are confident that the reversion will not only provide the stability that we desperately needed prior to our last move but will also return to the Membership the high level of customization that made our online community so great. We have also added technical resources to the GolfWRX staff that will allow us to build custom modules and modifications that we are confident will take the forums to the next level.

We remain the world’s largest online golf community, and we still hold true to our core values and mission statement as written in 2005. Bearing both of those elements in mind, being the best and offering our Members a platform that is world-class are both requirements, not options, and it is that spirit that has motivated this decision.

So, please pardon our mess over the next five days or so while we transition the forums.

A few important notes: Current content will be accessible during that time, but the forums will be READ ONLY, and you will not be able to start new threads or reply to posts. Personal Messaging is enabled, but PMs sent/received from the time the board was frozen will not carry over. We know this is inconvenient, and we apologize, and we greatly appreciate GolfWRXers bearing with us through the transition.

We are very excited about starting this next chapter for GolfWRX and getting back to the high-quality Member experience we all expect as soon as possible.

We share your golf passion. You can follow GolfWRX on Twitter @GolfWRX, Facebook and Instagram.

    “The next five days or so.”

    Many of us remember the long slog to version 2.0. If the forums are back in less than a week, I will be shocked.

    What is going on at Golfwrx that they are incapable of performing a proper upgrade?

    Excellent news if a bit late. I honestly don’t know how Vanilla software works for anyone nor how the company survives. It is a very user-unfriendly platform and the support model sets organizations up for disaster. Hope this transition is smoother for users.

    I wish that the first page was the latest comments and they filed back instead of page 11 being the latest and 1 the first.

    Please, one thing to consider is making your information available to all people regardless of abilities or disabilities. Someone who is blind may still enjoy your site if they can use a screen reader and keyboard. Someone who has mobility issues may be forced to use a keyboard always or some other device for input. If your site does not always allow that it is frustrating. You may also open yourself to litigation as the American’s with Disability Act (ADA) may be invoked in a lawsuit for discrimination.

    So a little thought and care would be appreciated.

    True WRX ho’ing. Have the trusty flatstick. Try something newer/flashier for a few rounds. Revert to old.

    I blame Gianni and his terrible articles.

    The moral of the story here is that you didn’t listen or learn from mistakes.

    Genuine constructive feedback was met with hostility and aggression. Take a quick look at the threads on ads in threads for evidence.

    Forum site visits have hit rock bottom I bet. Fingers crossed 3.0 works better!

    Please restore the iPhone app and also BST feedback

    Please tell me the next thing you are going to do is remove the SUPER ANNOYING pop ups at the bottom of the screen when reading your articles. The video one, at least you can close, but the “Read Next Article” one doesn’t have an “X” to close, and the user experience is awful, especially when reading on an iPad!

      Totally agree with this comment, the amount of adverts on this site makes it almost un-usable at times and the amount of time they take to load means that I do not use WRX anywhere as often as I used to, please get rid of EVERY pop up

    Aug 11, 2020 at 8:31 pm

    Will we get our feedback from BST transactions back that were discontinued with the “new” format???

    • dp4sc

      Aug 11, 2020 at 9:53 pm

      Amen, I have been away from the community since the changeover to the “improved” version. My old man, God rest his sole, once said if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Looking forward to the new old normal again!

  12. Chucks Steak House. Whats your beef?

    Aug 11, 2020 at 8:00 pm

    Bout time!!! I went from logging on almost daily and interacting in the forums to MAYBE logging in 3-4 times since “update” and im not the only one. Hopefully this transition goes MUCH smoother than the dumpster fire of the last one.

  13. Jeff

    Aug 11, 2020 at 6:15 pm

    Excellent news!!!!

    About damn time! The new forum software is horrible compared to what we had before. I noticed a decline in activity during and after the switchover. Advance notice would’ve been appreciated for ongoing BST transactions though–I feel like that’s a big driver of activity.

  15. Roy

    Aug 11, 2020 at 4:36 pm

    For hose of us who were in the middle of BST transactions, a little notice would have been appreciated. “Beginning at 6PM EST tonight, the forums will be read only……”
    Not too hard – other web sites do it all the time for maintenance……

  16. Moosejaw McWilligher

    Aug 11, 2020 at 4:19 pm

    We all know who the tech is really designed to work for. Google can track your every keystroke, but try to hold a Z**m meeting without freezes, dropouts and bombing… As long as the ads work, the coder’s job is done.

    Thank god… this “new” GolfWRX forum has been hot garbage.

    You should probably fire the guy who made this mess and recruit a proper CTO/Tech Lead.

    IM SOOOOOO HAPPPPYYYYYY!!!!!

    Does this mean the iPhone app will start working again?

Photos from the 2026 PGA Championship

GolfWRX is on site for the second major of 2026: The PGA Championship from Aronimink in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania.

The tournament’s location, just outside Philadelphia, and its status as a major championship mean GolfWRXers are in for a treat: WITBs from a strong field, custom gear celebrating the PGA Championship, and the rich culture of the City of Brotherly Love — we have noted a relative absence of cheesesteak-themed items thus far this week, but most of the rest of the usual suspects are well represented.
