What happens if your boss hand loses control of the golf club?
It will only slow down the swinging process. If your boss hand loses control of the golf club, the weight of the clubhead rests on the index finger of the trail hand. Once that happens, your downswing motion is too steep and your shots will travel too low and too far for the club you’re using at the moment.
How to stop overthinking your swing?

Course and pathways need work!
Unfortunately the course was not in very good shape. The greens had mold on them, the cups were rough around the edges and the fairways were either too wet or too dry throughout most of the course. Not the most enjoyable day of golf we have had. We stopped at the club house for lunch at the turn.
Refund policy
Had to cancel due to me having covid. Still waiting for my refund? Or credit?
Very frustrated
Very frustrated when trying to book tee times on popular courses. The tee sign-up sheets weren't populated after midnight on courses that allowed for 7 days advanced booking. Last Wednesday I kept trying until 45 minutes after midnight, and still no joy. Had to settle for a lower tier course.
full service and easy booking
the listings of the golf courses provide a wide range of options. Once a course is selected, booking the location and time is easy.
Terrible Customer Service
If I could give this a zero rating I would. We booked a tee time for one date, but when I got the confirmation email it was for a different date. A mere 3 minutes later I was able to cancel the tee time through GolfNow. We checked with the golf course to make sure the tee time had been canceled and that we would not be charged and they told us yes.
Golf now experience
I use Golfnow to find tee times that are not expensive. It gives me specials and saved me time calling pro shops.
Great experience
Great experience! Loved the ability to book a very good tee time and loved the savings! I will use GolfNow more often in the future - Thank you!
hollabachgt
Can you book a tee time at a course in your area by not using GolfNow? if you call a course directly is it possible to book a tee time? Not just your favorite course, but if any course in your area accepts tee times using means other than GolfNow, then your case falls apart pretty much instantly.
bub72ck
Courses contract with Golfnow to have their rates displayed on the site. The club will give up a certain number of tee times (pay Golfnow for them whether booked or not) in exchange to be advertised.
WristySwing
Yeah I don't see the big deal here. Monopolies exist everywhere. Media companies are often owned by 1 person. Facebook owns the 3 big social media companies right now (FaceBook, Instagram, SnapChat) and one of the world's most popular messaging apps...so they effectively own 4 messaging services + 3 social media platforms. This isn't any different.
Philomathesq
This also isn't a real monopoly. A true monopoly, when one exists, has the power to enact price-fixing and create real barriers to entry into the market. A company that literally just compiles data and allows reservations cannot be a monopoly because nothing it has done prevents consumers from directly contacting the courses.
FairwaysToHeaven
Always wondered why the several courses within a city or area don't join forces and design a booking site that incorporates all courses. the courses get to decide the rates, they just make it simple for users to see which courses have openings and compare rates.
golfnhack
Sure Mr "I pay retail for everything and never find the best price." Must be nice to be part of the 1%'ers and not care about price.
Stetson
Yes TeeOff and Supreme were MUCH MUCH better than that garbage GN. But what’s done is done.
Greggap
Now that Golfnow is charging $199 per year, what's your experience been just calling the courses vs using Golfnow? Do you recoup the $199 if you use Golfnow?
playar32
I have found a couple of discrepancies between the normal rates of the course and what golfnow charges. Hotdeals are better rates, but why pay golfnow a fee. Most courses have a golfnow type technology on their website anyway.
SNIPERBBB
I'd call the course...last time I used golfnow we booked a course that unbeknownst to me was effectively closed, old silo Kentucky now perma closed. The club house had been closed since the previous fall and some maintenance guy came out and took our money, had to pay cash.
Greggap
I called around to three courses, none of them was close to the Golfnow price for a similar prized tee time, it ranged for $10-20 difference, so if you play a lot Golfnow is probably worth it, especially if you use the Hot Deals.
sethdavidsdad
Golfnow is always cheaper for me. Surprised that some of the courses charge more than the standard golfnow rate. I have called a pro shop on the way to the course asked the price and then end up booking thru golfnow just because they try to charge more. I get the hot deals are more but don’t understand charging more than the regular rate.
golfandfishing
The below is true for Hot Deals only. Courses have (or at least used to have) the option of either paying GN a fee to be on their platform or they could allow GN to sell a few times a day as Hot Deals, instead of paying a fee upfront GN keeps all of the revenue from Hot Deals.
Hack Daddy
If GN is so morally abhorrent, then golf courses should just opt out of using it. Very simple; it's a partnership they agree to.
