    This is in response to the complaint filed by ******* ******* regarding the charge on his account.

    Our records show that ******* spoke with one of our phone sales representatives and agreed to sign up for a free trial of Champions Pass which is then billed $299 plus tax after the trial period.

    To address this issue, we have taken the necessary steps to cancel the Champions Pass. Additionally, we have processed a refund in the amount of $322.92 to his account.

    Performance Golf charged my credit card for $319.93 for something called Champions pass which I assume is one of their training aids. I never agreed to buy this and have emailed them several times explaining that. I have even called a few times. In all of these instances I was told someone would get back to me within 2-3 business days but it has been much longer and no one has contacted me about this. I see that others have filed the exact same complaint and also got no response until after they filed a formal complaint.

    On March 11, 2024, I ordered a training video (****** ***** Simple Strike Sequence) from Performance Golf for $133.00. This was all I purchased, nothing more and it was my understanding it came with 365-day money back guarantee which is still on their website). A week or so after I purchased the training video, I received a call from one of their sales **** offering me all sorts of additional things (review of my swing, trips and videos etc). I made it clear to her that I had no intent of purchasing anything more from them beyond the $133.00. Upon reviewing my credit card charges, I realized Performance Golf had charged me (without my authorization) an additional $499.00 in April along with two monthly charges of $29 and $99.00. These monthly charges started in March and ran into September 2024 and totaled $669 I called Performance golf on numerous occasions to resolve this issue, only to receive a voice mail. I connected with one of their customer service **** on their website via on-line chat and was informed that someone will be contacting me within the hour and then within 3-5 business day (that didnt happen). I finally connected with a customer service managers and presented the information above. In response, he began offering (selling) me various refund options ($522 and then $871) which required me to signed up for their Performance Champion Pass for $349. This was simply unacceptable. Based on our conversation and my research, its become abundantly clear that this whole thing is a big scam. Numerous complaints have been filed against this company. I purchased a training video for $133, watched it a handful of times, inform their sales *** that Im not interested in purchasing anything else or incurring any additional charges and they charge me $1,168 for things that I never intended to purchase and never authorized.I look forward to resolving this issue and appreciate your help in this endeavor.

    Based on our records, ***** purchased our Simple Strike Sequence program, which includes a 14-day trial for ************* After the trial period, a $29/month billing begins. This arrangement was clearly outlined in the terms of service agreed upon by ***** at the time of purchase.

    Moreover, our records show that ***** spoke with one of our phone sales representatives and agreed to sign up for a free trial of Champions Pass and VIP Coaching which then bills $499 and $99/month after the trial period.

    We have taken the necessary steps to cancel these subscriptions, ensuring that no future charges will be incurred. In line with this, we have processed a refund for the related charges.

    I purchased a Clickstick through Performance Golf online. During the purchase online, I was innundated with all kinds of additional offers before being able to complete the transaction. I purchased the physical training aid only. I received calls/messages that I had to verify some information for them to send me my purchase. There was no missing information preventing them from sending my purchase. When I returned the call to resolve the issue, the call turned into additional sales offers for services that I did not want or agree too. 1 month later I was charged a lifetime access fee of 399 for the Champions Pass. I did not agree or sign up for this. I was told that the 30 day trial ended and I did not cancel prior. Again, I never accepted or agreed to any trial and was not aware of the subscription. I never logged in or participated in any of their online content. This is deceptive at best and fraud at worst. I have requested a refund as of 12/2/2024. I'm told an advisor will review and get back to me. I've also requested the transcript or audio file from the sales call.

    I bought a swing trainer from this company on 10/18. After many repeated calls from performancegolf I told them over the phone, no I did not want to sign up for their program and only wanted the training device. They did stop calling finally, but took the liberty to charge my account on 10/30 and 11/30 for $29.00 each time. This was after verbally telling their representative over the phone no, I was not interested.

    The shopping experience on the site has you add a product to their website *************************************. Once you checkout at the bottom of the terms and conditions it adds a "free golf trial that turns into a subscription". I did not add this to a cart, select it or buy it. The site is buying training equipment via e-commerce site. Attached is the footnote that ads the subscription to the transaction without authorization.

    I am rejecting this response because: you refunded November but not Octobers payment for the subscription service. 

    There are hundreds of complaints against tucking subscription fees into an e-commerce purchase. The terms were not clear nor did I utilize this service. I ask that you refund the Oct 29th charge for $29.

    On 10/14/2024, I purchased a training video from Performance Golf in the amount of $49.09. I received a phone call from a female employee of Performance Golf on 10/18/2024 from a phone number of ************** attempting to sell me on additional items. At no point did I give authorization to this employee to enroll me into a program that would eventually cost me $416.76. My account was debited on 11/19/2024 for the $416.76. I made several attempts to email ******************************** and called the **************, in which I left several voicemails. I contacted the female employee back at ************** and advised that I was requesting a refund for the $416.76. She stated that a customer service representative would contact me in 72 hours, which they clearly have not. I am requesting that this company issue a refund and stop trying to dodge people's requests by not answering emails or phone calls. I hope to resolve this issue soon
