Puma x Speaqua Sound Co. launch new PopTop Mini Bluetooth speaker
Puma Golf has partnered with Speaqua Sound Co. to launch a new Bluetooth speaker you can use on or off the course: the PopTop Mini.
The PopTop Mini speaker powered by Speaqua Sound Co. is designed to deliver premium sound whether you want to listen to your tunes on or off the course and features a built-in PUMA ‘P’ ball marker and bottle opener for golfers who want to enjoy a cold beverage or three on the links.
The new device from Puma features high-quality sound, Bluetooth connectivity, and dual pairing compatibility that allows for easy linking between speakers to amplify sound while enjoying a day on the course. The PopTop Mini boasts a five-hour battery life and is practical at just 2.4 inches in diameter.
A leash accessory allows for convenient attachment to a golf bag or backpack while the speaker itself is entirely water, dust and shockproof.
Speaking on the new PopTop Mini, Zack Oakley, Project Line Manager, Accessories, Puma Golf said
“The PopTop Mini is a ‘must-have’ for golfers who want to have fun on the course. It’s incredibly versatile, delivering great sound in a portable design that is easily attached to your bag. It’s waterproof – because you never know when you might end up in the water – and has a solid battery life to get you through most any round. The game is evolving and at Puma Golf we’re working to help make the game more fun. Pair the right music with your favorite foursome and you’re guaranteed to have a good time regardless of how you score.”
The PopTop Mini ($40), is available to order now in black or white color codes at pumagolf.com and at retail.
Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.
“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.
At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals who all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.
It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.
Currently, in our GolfWRX buy/sell/trade (BST) forum, @raw10628 has a L.A.B. DF3 putter and Masters putter cover up for grabs.

Music and Golf – No, Never, Not EVER.

Enough already with the music on the golf course. I’ve got no problem with someone wanting to privately listen via earbuds. However, when people feel the need to share their music from two fairways over, I now have a problem. Or, when I am paired with a Stranger and he believes we ALL need to enjoy his music, i’ve got a problem. People have been given an inch with their music, and now they are taking a mile! Maybe I am a “get off my lawn kind of guy!”

I agree 100% with Steve. I’m not bashful about telling someone to turn off the music if they turn it on during a round. It’s incredibly rude. If EVERYONE in your group wants music, fine. But otherwise, listen to music on your own time.
