[GOLFPASS and GOLFPASS+]

I am a GolfPass member and there are a lot of negatives with GolfNow., particularly when compared to TeeOff.com.

1. GolfNow has a convenience fee ($3.49) for each golfer booked, plus tax (depends on state). TeeOff.com has neither.

2. You can ONLY cancel a reservation with GolfNow if the course is CLOSED. (they do call and verify). With TeeOff.com you can cancel for $2 for each player booked.

3.The GolfNow rewards and promos are only good on "HotDeals" and only Mon thru Thurs AFTER noon. If you look closely many of the "HotDeals" are in the morning. For example for my zip (32976) and picking a Thursday 2/27, there are 24  "Hotdeals"" listed but ONLY 4 are afternoon times.

4. The GolfNow promos and rewards are generally for one player only. With TeeOff.com their promos are usually in the form of percent off discounts that apply to the entire booking (everyone in the foursome gets the discounted rate). The discounts vary from 15% to 30%.

Of course by being a GolfPass member $79 and then upgrading to GolfPass+ for $179 more you can avoid the some of the fees and get a more friendly cancellation policy

GolfNow does seem to have more courses under "contract" than TeeOff.com but I noticed some courses here in Florida are on both services

No marks on them - they were in pristine condition. Note I have bought refinished balls in the past from another source and after 18 holes they were pretty beat up. The ones i bought (2019 Pro V1x's) had no marks even after playing multiple rounds. You can also  see from my pic that they were of better quality than the pic you had in your original post. 

I think their response about returns speaks volumes as to their credibility. 

like you the 48 balls I rec'd were pristine, just like they just fell out of the sleeve.

So how many people do you think it would take to find 48 totally unmarked YELLOW Prov V1x (remember they just started making the yellow ones this this year).

Isn't it more plausible that these are brand new balls from some manufacturer that are branded as Pro V1x ???

The return policy works in their favor to hold complaints. Everyones happy, the customer gets their money back and they get the balls back to sell to some other unsuspecting golfer.

looks like it's the same company. Did any of the balls you rec'd looked they had ever been hit or have any player marks ?

note the reply from the vendor in one place it says lostgolfballsretail and at the end lostgolfballs

New message from: lostgolfballsretail (89,825)

Bud, Thank you for reaching out to me about this. You are correct, by law Refinished/Refurbished golf ball must have that written on the golf ball. I can confirm that these golf balls have not been refinished, as we do not refinish AVX Yellow golf balls, and all of our refinished golf balls have Refinished written on them. Please let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks! Thank You For Using LostGolfBalls!

and in the return authorization

just curious who were the ebay sellers

Have given Titleist the names and will post them after they have a chance to look into this

[Possible Counterfeit Golf Balls]

Recently purchased some 5A Titleist balls on Ebay.

Ordered 48 yellow AVX, every ball looked like they were fresh from package, no player marks, not even the slightest nick or scuff. Every Ball had the same number. When i questioned the vendor he said if I was nervous I could return the balls. Wwhich I did .

Bought some of the new Yellow Prov 1X from another vendor. Again every ball looked just like brand new, No player marks or any evidence that had ever  been hit.

Cut one open and tweeted image it to #finditcutit and also to @titleist.

Both vendors claim THEY do not repaint or rebrand either of these orders. It is my suspicion that they are buying new yellow unbranded balls and having the Titleist logo and info applied. Both vendors have over 1000 positive feedback.

I have emailed Titleist with the vendor info for them to investigate.
