The Op 36 Clubs Wholesale Program gives you two ways to earn money every time a golfer in your community gets fitted with the right clubs. Whether you prefer a hands-off affiliate link or managing the sale yourself, you now have a financial incentive to make sure every golfer in your program is playing with Op 36 Clubs.
Worldwide shipping available. Clubs can ship to coaches and customers anywhere in the world.
Option 1: Affiliate Link — Earn 5% on Every Sale
Sign up for the Op 36 Clubs Affiliate Program and you'll receive a unique tracking link. Share it with your students, post it on social media, or include it in your program communications. Every purchase made through your link earns you a 5% commission — tracked automatically, paid on a regular schedule.
How it works:
Apply through your Op 36 dashboard.
Agree to the program terms.
Receive your unique tracking link.
Start sharing it with your community.
No inventory. No transactions. Just share your link — when your golfers buy clubs, you get paid.
Example:
A student buys an Adult 4-Club Progression Set at $366 through your affiliate link.
Your commission: $366 × 5% = $14.64.
What's included in the 5%: Commission is calculated on the retail club price (clubs and bags), before shipping and tax.
Option 2: Coach Wholesale Code — Buy at 10% Off Retail
Prefer to manage the sale yourself? When you're signed in as an enrolled coach, you'll automatically see 10% off retail on clubs and bags at op36shop.com. No coupon code needed — the discount is applied to your account automatically. You buy at the discounted price, sell at retail (or your own price), and keep the difference.
How it works:
Apply through your Op 36 dashboard. Once enrolled, your account is tagged for coach wholesale pricing.
Sign into op36shop.com. Your account will reflect 10% off retail on clubs and bags automatically.
Place orders on your own payment method.
Clubs are custom-made and ship directly — to you or to your student.
What the 10% discount covers: The discount applies to clubs and bags only. Add-on products (training aids, accessories), shipping, and the Op 36 Fitting System are priced separately at standard rates.
Example:
Adult Driver retail: $182. Your price as an enrolled coach: $182 × 0.93 = $169.26.
You resell to your student at retail ($182). Your margin: $12.74 per driver.
On a full Adult 7-Club Set retailing at $698, your wholesale price is $649.14. Your margin if you resell at retail: $48.86 on the clubs.
Good to know — about your wholesale pricing:
Your wholesale pricing is tied to your signed-in account. It can't be transferred to a student's account or used by anyone else. Any purchase made by your student under their own account goes through the Affiliate Program (your affiliate link) instead — that's how you earn on those orders.
You can't earn an affiliate commission on an order you placed under your own coach account. The 10% discount IS your earning on that order.
This option works especially well for coaches who are already using the Op 36 Fitting System with their students.

Why This Matters for Your Business
Op 36 Clubs aren't generic beginner sets. They're professional-grade, custom-fit clubs that grow with your students through the level system. When golfers have the right equipment, they improve faster, stay engaged longer, and see you as their go-to resource for everything golf.
Already have the Op 36 Fitting System? The Coach Wholesale Program is the other half of the equation — fit your students, recommend the right setup, and earn on the sale. Don't have the Fitting System yet? See op36shop.com for current pricing — it pays for itself quickly when you're earning on every club sale.
Frequently Asked Questions
Choosing between the options
Can I use both the Affiliate Program and Coach Wholesale?
Yes — one application enrolls you in both, and you can use whichever fits each situation. Use your affiliate link when the customer is going to buy the clubs themselves. Sign in to your coach account when you're going to manage the transaction yourself.
Important: you can't earn an affiliate commission on an order you placed under your own coach account. The 10% discount IS your earning on that order. You're either getting 10% off (Coach Wholesale path) or 5% commission (Affiliate path) — not both on the same order.
Which option makes me more money per sale?
Depends on the order size and your business model. The 10% wholesale discount is usually a larger dollar amount per order than the 5% affiliate commission — but only if you can resell at retail. If your student is price-sensitive and you'd need to discount to close the sale, the affiliate commission can be the better deal because you don't carry that pricing risk.
Worked comparison on a $698 adult 7-club set:
Affiliate (student buys directly): $698 × 5% = $34.90 commission
Coach Wholesale (you buy at 10% off, resell at retail): $698 − $628.20 = $69.80 margin — but only if you sell at full retail.
Do I need the Op 36 Fitting System to participate?
No. Both programs are open to all Op 36 coaches. The Fitting System makes the program more profitable because it lets you fit students for the exact clubs they need before they buy, which improves close rates. But neither program requires it. See op36shop.com for current Fitting System pricing.
Where can clubs ship to?
Worldwide. Op 36 Clubs can ship anywhere — both retail customer orders and coach wholesale orders. Shipping costs vary by destination and are calculated at checkout.
Getting paid
When do I get paid for affiliate commissions?
Commissions are tracked automatically as soon as a customer completes a purchase through your link. Payouts happen on a regular schedule — your specific cadence and minimum payout threshold are shown in your affiliate dashboard once you're enrolled.
How do I get paid?
Direct payout through the affiliate program's standard method. Details are in your dashboard once you're enrolled.
Will I get a 1099?
If your earnings cross the federal reporting threshold in a given year, yes — you'll receive the appropriate tax documentation. You're responsible for reporting affiliate income on your own taxes regardless of whether you receive a form.
If my student returns the clubs, do I lose my commission?
All Op 36 Clubs are custom-made to your student's specifications and are non-returnable. Because there are no returns under normal circumstances, affiliate commissions on completed orders are not reversed.
Manufacturing defects are handled separately under warranty — those don't trigger a return, they trigger a repair or replacement. See the warranty question below for details.
Does the wholesale pricing combine with other discount codes or sales?
No. Your wholesale pricing is your discount — it doesn't combine with promotional codes, seasonal sales, or other coupons.
Day-to-day operations
How do I place an order as an enrolled coach?
Sign into your account at op36shop.com.
Browse and add products to your cart — your account will reflect 7% off retail on clubs and bags automatically.
Complete the purchase on your own card. Provide shipping details for delivery to you or directly to your student.
What's the lead time on clubs?
Custom manufacturing completes in 5 business days from when the order is received. Shipping time is in addition to that. So a typical timeline is: order placed Monday → manufacturing done by the following Monday → clubs ship that day → delivery depending on shipping speed (usually a few additional business days).
For local pickup orders (where available, for coaches and customers within 50 miles of Coeur d'Alene, ID), the 5-business-day manufacturing window is your total wait. You'll receive a notification when the order moves from manufacturing to fulfillment / ready-for-pickup.
Who pays for shipping?
Standard shipping is paid by whoever pays for the order — the customer (on affiliate orders) or you (on coach wholesale orders). Shipping rates are calculated at checkout based on destination and order size, and are the same for both types of orders. The 10% wholesale discount does not apply to shipping.
Is local pickup an option?
Yes, for coaches and customers within 50 miles of Coeur d'Alene, ID (near Henry-Griffitts manufacturing). Local pickup is shown as an option at checkout when your address qualifies.
What products are eligible for the wholesale discount?
Clubs (full sets, individual clubs) and bags are eligible for the 7% wholesale discount. Add-on products (training aids, accessories), shipping, and the Op 36 Fitting System are priced separately at standard rates.
Can I order left-handed clubs?
Yes. The fitting form lets you specify handedness; lefty configurations are available for the full lineup.
Can I mark up the clubs above retail when using my wholesale pricing?
That's your call. You purchased the clubs at the wholesale price and own them at the point of resale, so the resale price is up to you. Most coaches resell at retail and keep the margin, but you're free to charge whatever the local market supports.
Customer experience
Can my student return the clubs if they change their mind?
Op 36 Clubs are custom-made for each golfer's specifications and are non-returnable. Each club is built specifically for that student — shaft length, grip size, flex, and lie are all custom. Manufacturing defects are covered separately under warranty (see below).
Set student expectations up front. When you fit a student and place an order on their behalf using your wholesale account, make sure they understand the clubs are being made specifically for them and can't be returned. Most coaches handle this naturally as part of the fitting conversation.
What does my student see when they order through my affiliate link?
They see the standard op36shop.com retail checkout. The tracking happens behind the scenes — they pay retail and see no different pricing, no banner, no indication that you're earning a commission. Their order, invoices, and account behave the same as any other Op 36 Clubs customer.
What does my student see when I buy clubs for them with my wholesale account?
The order is in your name, on your card. The clubs ship to whatever address you provided at checkout. You handle anything you want to share with the student (price, paperwork, hand-off). Op 36 is not in the middle of your coach-student transaction.
Will my facility branding appear on invoices?
Yes — if you set up your coach profile with your facility name and logo, your facility branding will appear on retail invoices that you view through the coach portal. This includes invoices you generate to share with students or for your own records. Customer-facing order invoices remain Op 36-branded so the customer sees a consistent buying experience, but the invoice view you use as a coach reflects your business.
Who handles warranty claims if a club fails?
For warranty inquiries, email op36clubs@henry-griffitts.com (the Henry-Griffitts team mailbox). Include the order number and a description of the issue. HG handles warranty resolution directly.
Are these clubs made specifically by Op 36, or by Henry-Griffitts?
Op 36 Clubs are designed and curated by Op 36 in partnership with Henry-Griffitts, who manufactures every club to spec. Henry-Griffitts has been making custom-fit clubs for decades; you'll sometimes see their name on shipping labels, warranty paperwork, or in the manufacturing details. It's not a separate product line — it's how Op 36 Clubs get made.
Can I see what my student's invoice will look like before they order?
Yes — coaches who use the coach portal can generate retail or wholesale invoice previews for any fitting in the system before the order is placed. Your facility branding (if you've set up a coach profile with logo and facility name) appears on retail invoices the coach views.
