Fairway Tips and News releases guide helping golfers avoid unexpected $299 PG1 Membership charges when purchasing Performance Golf RS1 putter, detailing cancellation procedures, refund requests, and subscription-free purchase options through authorized retailers.
-- Fairway Tips and News has released a guide addressing a subscription enrollment problem affecting golfers who purchased or considered purchasing the Performance Golf RS1 putter. Better Business Bureau records show 147 complaints filed over the past three years, documenting a recurring pattern: unexpected $299 charges appearing on credit card statements weeks after buyers completed their putter transactions, according to consumer protection data and company terms of service records. The guide responds to this documented issue, providing golfers with steps to cancel subscriptions, request refunds, and avoid automatic renewal charges tied to digital membership trials embedded in the checkout process.

The RS1 putter itself is a well-reviewed piece of golf equipment distinct from the subscription business model that has generated consumer complaints. Independent reviews from platforms including Breaking Eighty describe the club as a "genuinely excellent putter" that simplifies keeping the face square through its Forward Axis Weighting design, which positions 75 percent of the head weight in front of the shaft axis. Performance Golf operates two separate business lines: physical golf equipment sold as one-time purchases, and digital golf instruction subscriptions including the PG1 Membership platform. The guide clarifies this distinction, separating product quality from business practice concerns while noting that pricing for the RS1 ranges from $399 to $429 depending on shaft configuration.
The subscription enrollment issue arises from how Performance Golf structures its checkout funnel, according to the guide's analysis of customer reports and company documentation. Buyers who purchase the putter directly through the company website may encounter free trial offers for digital products during or after the transaction. These trials convert automatically to paid subscriptions if not canceled within the trial period, which typically runs 14 to 30 days. The resulting subscriptions vary by offer and may be monthly, annual, or one-time lifetime access charges. Because the charge appears weeks after the original putter purchase, often after buyers have mentally moved on from the transaction, the timing gap creates surprise billing scenarios that account for the majority of Better Business Bureau complaints filed against the company.
Fairway Tips and News outlines multiple resolution pathways for golfers already charged or seeking to cancel before billing occurs. Buyers can contact Performance Golf customer service at 1-833-741-4653 or support@performancegolf.com with specific charge details to request cancellation and refunds. Alternatively, they can initiate credit card disputes for unauthorized or inadequately disclosed automatic renewal charges, or file Better Business Bureau complaints to create accountability records. The guide emphasizes the importance of obtaining written cancellation confirmation to prevent post-cancellation billing, a step documented as critical in consumer protection cases involving automatic renewals.
For golfers prioritizing the putter technology over digital instruction content, purchasing through authorized third-party retailers eliminates subscription enrollment risk entirely. This transaction path provides a one-time retail purchase with no upsell funnel or trial enrollment. Buyers lose access to bundled digital content but gain zero subscription risk, positioning this method as the safest approach for those focused exclusively on the club's performance benefits. The guide notes that Performance Golf's 365-day return guarantee applies to the physical putter, though buyers should verify return policy details with their specific retailer.
The guide consolidates hard-to-find information into a single reference resource, including Performance Golf's customer service contacts, physical return address at Argo Shipping Company in McHenry, Illinois, Better Business Bureau filing instructions, and a detailed FAQ section addressing key buyer concerns. Questions addressed include whether the 365-day guarantee applies regardless of purchase channel and what steps to take if refund requests are denied. Fairway Tips and News based the resource on publicly available information from the Better Business Bureau, company terms of service, and independent equipment reviews to establish credibility and empower informed decision-making among golfers navigating the purchase process.
