Is this driver gold plated?

Probably, yes. Lots of Japanese buy gold plated clubs and stuff too.

Oy vey. Does being gold plated affect the weight any?

Specific density of gold is 19.25

Titanium is 4.5

So Gold is 327% heavier than Titanium.

Given that is gold plated, not made of gold, so the volume of gold needed is significantly lower.

All and all, I would suspect it adds a bit of weight to the club, but also depends on how the club is made. Taking a club and gold plating it would increase weight. Designing a club around gold platting could keep the weight down.

That gold layer is angstroms thick, so I doubt it adds weight.  It is put on like the aluminum in mylar balloon film in a vacuum metalizing process.
